Mary Beth Presentation Peter Thomas Roth

joann1218 — Tue, 07 Jun 2022 17:49:23 GMT

Mary Beth is on right now presenting Peter Thomas Roth. In her presentation of his 5 piece classic set she tells us if you have someone's birthday or anniversary coming up this would be a great gift. Seriously? I'm going to get someone who is another year older a PTR anti aging set. Yeah, that will make her feel better about being another year older. And an anniversary gift. Are you kidding. Who would want this as an anniversary gift. I wouldn't . The things they will say to sell an item.

No one better ever get me skin care for a Bday gift, unless I specifically ask for it.

Someday I would love to see a poster send a message about what the hosts SHOULD say. Am I the only one who can identify the problem but cannot come up with the info that would describe what's being sold AND appeal to enough buyers that hundreds (thousands maybe) of buyers will come forth?

I love his products so I would def buy for close family and friends for birthdays!

Esp if it were a well priced kit! My sister always gives me different gifts of products she is enjoying.

I don't nit-pick on everything hosts say, so it doesn't bother me in the least.

You're special.

Another sales tactic.

How on earth would you choose skin care for another person that they would want and use unless you were a family member or close friend and knew they wanted it.

Skin care is such a personal issue.

I have that kit and would have loved to have received it for my 72 birthday!! What better time to get an anti aging kit other than a birthday. Wouldn't give as an anniversary??? present but birthday, sure!

Well, it's sold out ("waitlist only"), so some people must've thought it was a good deal. I use the PTR line, so I'd have been pleased to receive it as a gift - birthday, Christmas or any other time!

Hosts are sales people and they can't have dead air, they have to talk and they have to push the product. Sometimes they say silly things. I can certainly see giving it to someone as a gift if I know the person would appreciate it. Good grief, just about every woman of a certain age knows she doesn't look like she's 35 and understands the importance of a skincare regimine. We wouldn't gift it to someone who doesn't care about such things.

If I specifically asked for it or if a close friend knew I used the products, I'd love it. I don't use PTR because he's not cruelty free and there are better options.

If someone randomly gave me skincare, and they weren't selling Amway or something, I'd still probably appreciate it but I'd consider it a wee bit tactless of them. I also might wonder if they had won the set or received it in a swag bag something like that.

@joann1218 Well hopefully you will not receive this set as a gift.

If a person finds this offensive, do not purchase.

No host is ever going to please everyone so.........let it be.

@joann1218 A few years ago for part of a christmas gift I bought my sister some prai neck cream - it was in such a sparkly beautiful jar I thought she'd love it as she's an appreciator of sparkle. Also, personally I think it's a good neck cream. Never occurred to me that the gift could skew negative - but it did! She did love the jar, but was upset because she thought I was giving her a "hint". lol. She is older than me and I am so surprised that she never used a neck cream before. Even so, it was not a hint of any kind! Anyway, based on that I can see someone not appreciating an anti-aging skin care kit! I'd love it tho - one thing I wouldn't really take personally. I love trying new products. If there was something I didn't think my skin would like, I'd probably just ebay it.

I would only buy this as a gift if I knew the person used the product. Skincare to me is a personal thing. It is like a fragrance. I will only buy a perfume as a gift if I know a person likes the fragrance.

@joann1218 I would love it as a gift. And if anyone doesn't know that they are a year older when they have a birthday, then they've got more problems than their age.

@RespectLife poster was not nit picking,just voicing an opinion

Re: Mary Beth Presentation Peter Thomas Roth

RespectLife — Wed, 08 Jun 2022 14:19:51 GMT

@Luvsmyfam

Sorry, IMHO, it IS absolutely nit picking.

We are picking apart every word, phase, meaning, dialect and pronunciation the hosts use.

This IS the definition of nit picking:

to be excessively concerned with or critical of inconsequential details. verb

to criticize by focusing on inconsequential details.

That is EXACTLY what these threads do.....

and yes, the OP is certainly entitiled to nit pick all she wants....I AM saying...I do NOT.

You are right. All I can say is the hosts on both HSN and QVC have gotten very sales oriented in the last few years. Very much gushing and pushing people to purchase two. It is hard to watch. Same words used to describe the item, amazing, this is everything, soft, wonderful, I LOVE IT are some of the words that now annoy me. But this is their job to sell. This is their job to love the product on TV while selling. I tend to watch now only in commercial breaks of other shows.

My pet peave, my nitpicking is how they don't show the back ends of the clothing. Maybe some twirling slightly around to the side or maybe one fast turn around while wearing a top that covers the rear. HSN is much worse about the too tight clothing and overly gushing to sell. It feels to me like these two shopping chanels are needing to increase business. Hearing in the news how Target has had reduced sales and is removing a lot of the home goods which isn't selling well. Sign of the times, and the economy.

@Porcelain I completely agree about PTR not being cruelty free so therefore not purchasing his product line. Yes, there are better options.

That being said, I laughed out loud when I read the rest of your post. Priceless.......really.

If PTR products are so effective, MBR, JT and Carolyn should have incredible results. They dont. Signs of aging very evident and normal. No magic potions exist.
