Oh, Puleeeze

I think the powers that be sit around and think of ways to make us watch less.

The latest is to keep calling the TSV----"The find of the day".

Think I may have to not love it and leave it.

Whatever they're coming up with to do it, it seems to be working on me.

At least I haven't heard as much of the ""when it's gone it's gone"" phrase that used to be a host favorite for an item that was being retired or not reordered.

Well then they should call it the FOTD...and I think I just did.

My favorite QVC mantra used to be a favorite of Pat James DeM, a host I really like.

She would always say, "Buy as many as you like," even if the TSV was an uber expensive diamond necklace or a patio dining set.

I still hear her say it and always wonder why. Was there ever a time when QVC limited the amount a customer could purchase? I've never heard of such a limitation.

I'm sure she put an "um" before it, in the middle of it and at the end of it too.

I ""find"" the ""find of the day"" a little weird... I noticed that last night when they introduced the TSV. I ""found"" that I would not buy this ""find of the day""!

Well, this is a devastating development! I don't think I can face the rest of my day knowing that QVC is using such an awful phrase! Guess I'll have to go back to bed and pull the covers over my head.

Buck-i-Nana, you make me laugh.

Re: Oh, Puleeeze

hennypenny — Sat, 28 Mar 2015 22:50:38 GMT

Buck, I am laughing too. But just you wait 'til you hear this phrase repeated over and over.

My "Powers that be"? It is called a DVR and it allows me to "watch what I want and watch it whenever I please". Might want to look into getting one of these "Powers that be", much more viewer friendly.

It's called marketing.

I won't hear it over and over. I shop QVC on-line only. Once in a while, if I know something new is being introduced and I want to see it shown and demonstrated and it's something I think might sell out, I tune in. Not long enough to get burned out on phrases or host/vendor quirks.

Besides, for whatever reason, I'm an easy mark, so I don't watch so I can't be convinced that I can't live without whatever they're selling.

I did enjoy my nap though...

I don't care about the phrases. Todays TSV is simply an overpriced T shirt.

Re: Oh, Puleeeze

I don't shop at the Q any more. What excited me is gone. I used to love to watch, now I can't with the silly hosts and loss of designers. I am not a plus size. I'm looking to other companies for beautiful things. Nothing is the find of the day. Everything is overpriced. For the price of one top, I can buy something really nice from Pendleton on sale, stunning actually. With every turn the CEO makes crazy decisions. I have 2 GILI bags. After this last stunt of theirs, raising the prices, I will not buy another.

Yes....it is a shopping channel and they depend on sales so I guess they will keep throwing phrases out there as the sales roll in.
