Hosts or Shows

abbytlj — Tue, 10 Mar 2020 22:40:54 GMT

What drives you to watch QVC? The Hosts or the Products? Do you ever skip shows because the Host may not be one of your favorites even if the Product they’re showing might be? Just curious.

I no longer watch QVC except for a handful of clothing shows and only when certain hosts are working.

Products, and mostly clothing, although I rarely watch any longer. I like Courtney K so I will try to catch one of her shows occasionally.

@abbytlj

I don’t really watch. I check out items online. I do not watch “shows.” I watch a presentation when I know something I am interested in buying will be on. I do not watch for entertainment or because a host or vendor is nice. It is shopping. The goal is to separate my from my money. If I am not going to buy the product, I’m gone. Quickly.

Again, it is shopping, not entertainment. These are hardcore sales people. Not my friends. If I want or need what they are selling I will tune in for a few minutes. When they move on to something I’m not interested in, I stop watching.

Just a product . I respect all hosts, they doing their job and doing well since working many years(employer ok with their job). But to buy or not to buy just my decision and don't depend how product was presented.

i have my own criteria and if products meet one I am buying. It can be the best presentation by the best host but if not ( again) meet my criteria I don't buy.

I rarely watch anymore. I can easily check online and read the reviews. There are certain brands that I like. Unfortunately, some of the hosts are just way over the top. I don't watch TV to be yelled st, lied to, or to hear how great someone is or what they own. Selling the products should be describing it in detail, dimensions, warranties if applicable, etc. Details and price; not what is in trend, what the host or family owns, etc.

Sorry, years ago, the shows were much more entertaining. Kathy Levine and Joan were selling and entertaining viewers at the same time. Very enjoyable.

There are a few hosts that I simply won't watch. Fortunately there is the website, so watching the channel isn't necessary.

@abbytlj -

Interesting question.

I used to watch a lot, both for something I really liked and also sometimes for the host.

Now, even things I always watched, like Valerie for example, or jewelry, denim and company , joan, quacker factory, kirks folly, if its a host I can't stand to watch, I don't even watch anymore.

I rarely order anymore either.

Even the hosts I used to like watching, I don't much anymore because I think they have all been instructed to do that fake, over the top "enthusiasm", and prices are just not comparable to most every other store or online store anymore.

And also I got rid of cable and have streaming-a whole new world!

But I have to say, I do miss the familiarity and yes enjoyment of watching what I used to love about QVC.

PRODUCTS--

I look for certain vendors I like such as Valerie Parr Hill's Heart To Home or Martha Stewart, and there's a few other products/vendors that I will watch, (although these are getting fewer and fewer), BUT if the show is hosted by someone that I just cant tolerate I will SKIP IT ...The Jim Shore Shows are an exception since he's on so rarely that I will watch even if its a host I dont like...

I also just keep track of my favorite venders.

It's a bit of both for me. I like watching most of the programs that feature David, and also Leah, and very much value their recommendations, and presentations of some products.

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

If I'm interested in the product, the host doesn't drive me away from the presentation.

It's never occurred to me to watch a QVC show based on who was program host. I don't care who, so don't check in advance.

Like any other scheduled program on TV, I turn it on, watch a particular show, then turn it off.

I haven't watched QVC or any shopping network for over 15 years. I occasionally check items recently aired, but that's usually based on someone here who posts about a product that I might want to check out.

I don't have any issue with MOST of the QVC hosts. I've stopped watching and buying because of pricing and sizing issues. I have been a customer for 30 years, so I realize that times and hosts are going to change. For now, I am UNWILLING to buy items that I 'm afraid will have to be returned.

As a long time QVC shopper, I watch for products that I am interested in. There are some hosts/presenters I simply cannot stand to look at and change the channel when I see them. I am finding now that I mute the audio because of the intolerable blathering. I have closed captioning on if I need to see the spoken words. I shop less and less because of the escalating prices, the lack of diversity of products, and just plain spending too much time on each item. QVC has just lost its value I'm afraid.
