Vendors off-site....Bumpy Presentations

fthunt — Mon, 13 Apr 2020 16:57:09 GMT

Still don't understand the logic for vendors to be physically absent.

With poor audio delay (sound) between home sites and studio park - - - and transmission of vendor's face going distorted.......... - & both talking at the same time b/c they can't see each other's body language.............Presentations aren't worth it.

If two adults over fifty can't figure out to avoid spitting or coughing on each other...........

Simple solution - don't watch.

With all that is going on, this is your complaint? That vendors are not venturing out as requested by the government?

That you have to pay a bit more attention to the presentation? That you can't give credit where credit is due, for the efforts being made on the parts of all involved?

I saw one vendor in her kitchen, I think she needed a tripod cause the camera kept moving up and down. Maybe her husband was filming her.

It's a bit bumpy every so often, but I'm sure they're still working out the kinks! I think it's kind of interesting seeing folks at home!

Even if they wanted to be there in person, I doubt they would be able to travel in. The less people out and about the better. Kudos to them for having vendors call in instead of risking being in person.

I think they are doing the very best they can under the circumstances and trying to keep people safe. It isn't the same as usual but it works. I noticed even on David's cooking show they are cooking and presenting but no one is eating anything just to be safe. You can appear well and still be able to spread the Virus to someone else then they take it home and give it to an elderly relative who dies to me not worth the risk.

@fthunt

Really you would want vendors traveling cross county to please you, I think not, have some compassion we are in the middle of a pandemic in case you have not heard that

I think it's the travel involved in getting there. Most presenters I don't think live in the Philadelphia area.

@Laura14 You are correct........it's the travel that's the issue. When planes don't fly - ----Thank you.

Sunday's late wig show was a near disaster and then add customer call-ins to the mix. Ugh

I don't think vendors are necessary at all during this pandemic. The hosts can handle the presentations.

@fthunt Oh no! I'm sorry I missed it. If nothing else, there's a little entertainment mixed in with the frustration. To be honest, I can't wait until we get back to normal with all of the tv shows. I don't like this format either as necessary as it is right now. It does beat reruns and I have scored bingo with ITKWD twice now.

@QVCkitty1 I agree with you - I don't think vendor guests are needed during this time, either. I actually like just seeing the hosts present items without guests because I hear more of a description of the items, more time is spent on details I do miss certain vendors, though.

@QVCkitty1 Exactly. Worse than the remote transmission is the photo of the vendor just there, a distraction with nothing to gain from it.

I congratulate QVC and its vendors for their social-distancing and stay-at-home efforts. They're good examples for the rest of us.

Well-said! I applaud your post.

Sorry vendors aren't traveling and people aren't risking their health so you can stay safe at home and watch a better presentation about a curling iron or a lawn ornament.

No one should be in the studio at all including set up crew, camera people, hosts and models. I saw a presentation where the host was touching all the purses with a model standing behind her. Someone had to set them up and someone has to take it down, and having people come into the building requires it to be cleaned and sanitized. PA is now 5th in the country for the most number of cases. Coming in to do a presentation is NOT essential work.

I don't think the OP, or any other poster, wants the vendors to show up on set. It's the unnecessary skyping and included photos that are at issue. The host can, or should, be able to present the products offered without the vendor's help.
