Influencers Reviewing

Krimpette — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 17:52:48 GMT

I'm totally turned off by all the reviews being done by influencers. I'm guessing that they certainly don't need my review. I'm sure QVC won't miss my reviews, since I didn't do a whole lot of reviews anyway.

Me too. I find them to be biased.

That's their job. Influencers are sales reps.

@KrimpetteHow do I know if a review I'm reading on QVC.com has been written by an influencer? Do you mean an influencer from Youtube, TikTok or Instagram? I must be missing something.

@shoesnbags I've never noticed where the influencer is from.

@shoesnbags I was unable to continue with my post when I tried to edit. I wanted to add that as soon as I see there are reviews from innfluencers on an item I'm looking at, I move on to something else.

I thought there was a thread the other day where someone was complaining that only people who had paid for an item could now review. I didn't read the thread, but I assume they were complaining that they bought an item for someone else (bill to/ship to) and the person shipped to couldn't review the item.

Are influencers actually shopping at QVC? Enquiring minds.

@Krimpette

I must not have been clear - sorry. What I'm asking is how do you know a review that you're reading has been written by an influencer? What tips you off? I mean, it isn't signed "Sally Smith, Influencer". So how do you know when you read it?

Are the review issues from influencers or from the product's actual website? Personally I don't mind either.

I have actually found on Sephora that even when someone gets a sample or the product free for their opinion, they can be brutally honest.

@Tori3569

I've seen those kinds of reviews on a number of websites, too. But the OP specifically mentioned QVC so that what confused me. I've never seen a QVC review that said someone received a product for free.

@shoesnbags The ones I've see are clearly marked that their review is by an Influencer.

Thanks @Krimpette

I've never noticed that on QVC reviews before but now I'll be on the lookout.
