ShopHQ ??

2blonde — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 14:53:39 GMT

Any of you who have been watching Evine lately must have seen there little promos announcing they are becoming ShopHQ in August. They've changed ownership and names so many times, I'm not sure anymore, but weren't they ShopHQ after they were ShopNBC? Does anyone know any more about this? I assume they're changing ownership again. I'm so confused.

ShopNBC then ShopHQ, then Evine. I think what they wanted Evine to be never came to fruition.

I read that Invicta had bought the Evine show.

I remember when the name was ShopNBC and then ShopHQ and then Evine. Does this mean the name is going back to ShopHQ? If it does, wonder the reason.

They have had so many name changes that they are recycling them now. They went back to being ShopHQ.

@Deblife THAT would make sense!

And before it was Shop NBC, it was Value Vision.

At the very beginning, Evine was Value Vision.

I wonder if people won't get ShopHQ confused with Shop LC.

It seems like they go through a name change every few years or so.

Everything old is new again! Yes, they've had so many names, I've lost track!

Actually first it was CVN. They were bought out by QVC and many of the CVN hosts ended up there. But a few hosts and managers at CVN joined together and formed ValueVision. Amazing jewelry in those days.

I have to agree, the jewelry on VV and Shop NBC was unsurpassed by anyone, I was amazed by the quality and the vendors they offered back then.

@queen75 Thanks for the link! I finally got a chance to read all of it. Very interesting. Obviously, so many name changes in a relatively short time is not a good sign of health.

I read months ago that they were undergoing management changes and the name would be changed. I remember all of the above mentioned names because this is where I made my very first online purchase of a computer. Back then the quality was good and the prices were better than other shopping networks. I hope they can successfully rebrand!

@2blonde for me that will never happen ...but I can see where some may assume that, because of the name, they are the same company...I had to stop watching Shop LC because of all of the offerings.

@GAQShopr53 I watch ShopLC a lot because I'm a gem lover, but sometimes all the yelling and hard sell gets to be too much for me!

No matter what their name is I still prefer them to HSN and QVC. This past Christmas I bought my girl's jewelry gifts from Evine.

@2blonde I agree that it can be a little over the top. I usually don't purchase from the auctions and wait until they are over so I can see if I can get the online discounts. I can't stand when they say the clock has only 2 minutes and then they start to stall LOL...that's when I knew it's time to call it quites for the day.

They have some great gems/jewelry! That's another reason I don't purchase jewelry from Evine that much..shipping costs was another big difference!
