QVC needs a makeover!

PhillyGirl23 — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 05:43:57 GMT

Horribly boring merchandise - Do they have an entire warehouse of AnyBody and Cuddl Duds that they need to get rid of??? ENOUGH of pajamas!!!

TOO much of Josie Maran and Koolaburra-

QVC hasn't felt fresh in years

Does anyone remember the fashion/runway shows that they had on another channel- This was about 30- years ago. They were fun and the clothing wasn't repeated. The items were actually stylish and every week felt new.

When I consider that Denim & Co is popular, I have to remember who the average Q shopper is. This line is just awful (sorry, but it is). I don't know anyone who would ever wear anything from this line.

Some of us would love higher-end clothing/accessories.

Monday nights aren't about actual fashion. Lori Goldstein looks silly. Who actually dresses like this?

BTW- ALWAYS price check before diving in. QVC was selling boots on sale for $60+. I found them on Amazon for $28 (name brand, too). THere have been many instances when I could find an item for less and with free shipping.

There is no other online retailer that charges for returns (that I purchase from) and I rarely, if ever, pay for shipping; Ann Taylor, Boden, JJill, Nordstrom, etc,

@PhillyGirl23 I hate to say this but I don't think things are selling. They arre repeating all the TSV's. That tells me things did not sell. They should listen to the Customers on this board.

I agree.

I don't care for QVC fashions and never did...not even 30 years ago. I find it difficult to find clothing that fits me well. I shop for clothing elsewhere and don't complain.

It is what it is. There are many other places to shop.

Fridays are my day off so I try to see what's on QVC on Thursday night. I want to watch some fashion and usually it's Vanessa's show at 10pmPT. She interacts with the models and in my opinion it doesn't work. Most of the time I can't hear the models and it's wasted time and no real information just a lot of giggling. I agree @PhillyGirl23 it's a lot of repetition of products.

@PhillyGirl23

I don't agree with everything you state; for example, I do purchase items from Denim & Co. and find that I like the fit and quality for the price. I do think the TSVs this holiday season have been rather disappointing. Nothing very new or appealing. I think the company is trying to get rid of a lot of merchandise that finally arrived after all the shipping problems. I realize the price of everything is going up, but the TSV prices just aren't much of a good deal.

I do agree,but i find clothing just about every where,is low quality.

Re: QVC needs a makeover!

My complaints are 1. they sell the same dozen or so products (or variations of) week after week after week. 2. their prices are higher than other retailers for the same item.

IMO, their busines plan needs a major update.

They need to get back to some practices that put them on the map in the first place.

They definitely have not kept up with the times. Expect them to go the way of Sears, K-Mart, Woolworths, etc. etc. which also did not adapt to changing conditions. IMO, all the shopping channels should just go to online shopping like Lord & Taylor. Cut the expensive hosts, sets, etc. and have better quality merchandise.

My thoughts -

- Expand the brands offered, particularly in clothing

- Hire buyers who chose selections for different ages, sizes,

and occasions

- Hire some new hosts who know about what they are selling

and are pleasant without acting clownish

- Completely overhaul and update QVC’s IT system. It is just

Terrible. Don’t sell what you can’t deliver. No excuse in this

day and age.

- Reward your faithful customers. Why special deals for new

customers while ignoring the old faithful.

Im 89, wheelchair bound, so QVC is a bllessing to me. Theres a lot of things I dont carev for, but I get a lot of channels on my tv, so i can not watch.

@PamfromCT

you are so right.......they could start the "new" QVC with a 50 in 50 tour...that would be great !

My biggest complaint is the same brands over and over.

I can't remember the last time I looked twice at the TSV.

Re: QVC needs a makeover!

Parischic — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 23:00:36 GMT

I always check "A" if I see something on the Q. I can always find it there usually cheaper and free shipping with fast delivery. Everything from clothes to makeup. "A" has their own brand of clothing that has amazing quality on its own.

Re: QVC needs a makeover!

Parischic — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 23:33:20 GMT

They obviously over purchased the Kim Gravel sweater TSV because they keep showing it and all the colors still at a special price.

Re: QVC needs a makeover!

Deree — Fri, 09 Dec 2022 23:44:11 GMT

QVC used to be a good value and reasonably priced. Now, there isn't a single item on Q that can't be found for less -- and often significantly less -- on other online sites. I think the popular fashion brands (Graver, Gravel) are ridiculously overpriced, but that's because demand is high.
