Using virus to sell products

chetmax — Sat, 04 Apr 2020 17:04:55 GMT

I RESENT HAVING THE HOSTS USING THE CORONOVIRUS TO SELL THEIR PRODUCTS. I LIKE TO WATCH QVC HOWEVER CONSTANT REMINDER WHILE SELLING A PRODUCT ON HOW WE ARE ALL IN ISOLATION HAS CAUSED ME TO TURN TO ANOTHER CHANNEL. I FEEL THEY ARE USING OUR CURRENT SITUATION WE ARE ALL IN TO BRING MORE SALES IN BY USING THIS PANDEMIC TO THEIR ADVANTAGE.

No more so than commercials on TV.

And if they didn't mention the situation, they'd be accused of being cold and insensitive, just business as usual.

I don't see the shopping channels as exploiting the situation. However, they're retailers. They're in business to sell. If they don't sell, they're out of business, and when huge companies fail, that hurts us all.

@chetmax Sounds like you found the solution to your aggravation.

I'm sick of every celebrity and show telling me how we're all in this together. Please, no, i won't buy your album so a percentage is supposedly going to help people. And shopping shows, stop telling me you really care, and oh yeah, if you purchase something it will go towards some charity.

I think they're trying to sort of sound sympathetic, help with morale. That's not easy to do.

Mass calamities usually happen to just one area at a time, so they'd acknowledge that and offer prayers and move on. This is different, obviously. It's just not common to have one serious issue simultaneously affect their whole viewing audience at once, but in different ways. No simple way to address or not address it.

You can look at it in a resentful way and feel it's intrusive and insincere OR you can be grateful that people who have some influence in society are trying to get us all to help others. I want to think we're in this together and those who need help will get it. I'd rather have us coming together as one than this virus dividing us anymore than we've been in recent years. As far as QVC, turn it off and certainly don't buy anything if you feel pressured. You have choices, but so do they.

I am wondering what you feel the need to "yell" at all of us. Using all caps to yell is really not a kind way to express yourself.

@JesssMe- Neither is using the world's tiniest font in light green causing people to strain their eyes to see what you wrote.

I will too!
Best idea for sales

considering they sell make-up wipes, this is just another wipe for an essential skin care product.
