QVC Sizing

Susanbelle — Sat, 03 Aug 2024 21:02:02 GMT

Does anyone know why Mary DeAngelis seems to be the only host that lists the sizes of an item starting with the largest and going down to the smallest? Maybe I am too critical but it sort of irritates me. What are your thoughts?

@Susanbelle. My thought is that this is unimportant and you're overly critical. Is there a rule that they must be listed in a certain order?

@Susanbelle

Yes, you are too critical. My guess is that you've never worked in sales, either. If that's your biggest problem today, good for you.

Just a theory here, but I notice that the last sizes to go when they've reduced the prices and the seasons are changing, it's always the XXS and XS seem to be the last to go.

That would mean (to me) that the larger sizes sell out first. It would be a good sales technique to first mention the sizes which seem to sell out most quickly.

Ive heard other hosts say it that way too & am thinking its to reinforce that they're carrying 4x & 5x sizes now. These sizes seem to sell quickly.

My thought is that the prolonged heat wave may having a deliterious effect on some people's sense of proportion.

@Susanbelle

I'm just happy when hosts go through sizes, give the lengths, describe the fit etc. These things actually help me to know if I want to order an item. My size always goes fast, so I need the details quickly.😃

It took you ten years to post something and this is what you enter the arena (forum) with?

How irritating is that? 😜

Seriously, that's a "you" problem, not a Mary problem.

Would it bother you if the host or vendor said, “Dress it down or dress it up,” instead of, “Dress it up or dress it down?”

@Susanbelle I have to admit at times the oddest things can bother me. When that is the case, I feel maybe I'm watching too much QVC and give myself a break.

@Tinkerbell3 I have to respectfully disagree that the XXS and XS's are the last to go. I was just checking the Primetime Specials and you can see below this is not the case.

I believe it is a pretty even playing field most of the time for sale items. I think it "seems" like the sizes we want are sold out. Every item I had any sort of interest in with Primetime Specials tonight were in the much larger sizes.

Doesn't matter to me, I just welcome that they give product information at all. That they give information on actual sizes is not important to me, I can see if my usual medium size is available when I look online.

I think Leah has done that too, if I’m not mistaken. At any rate, it doesn’t really matter how Mary says it, she’s getting the info out there and that’s what matters most.
