QVC on NBC

millieshops — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 12:46:35 GMT

Because I'm watching the Today Show as I sit here, I was just reminded they are doing a QVC segment every day this week. Presentations begin tomorrow (9/29) and you can vote if you're so inclined on which product you'd like to see presented on QVC next Saturday.

Those looking for new and different have a chance to see 9 possibilities this week, but they gave no clues what might be presented, but I get the impression none will come from any vendors we already know.

I didn't know know about this, @millieshops. Thanks for the heads up!

QVC sales might be down and trying to get new viewers to watch and buy from them.

Why does somebody ALWAYS have to put a negative spin on everything ?

@millieshops, Thanks for this information. I have it to record because it is a 4 hour program. I can fast forward to see the fashions later in the day. Should be fun. Good for QVC for branching out into other areas.

I think it is a Jill Martin project (GILI)

That's EXACTLY why QVC is on NBC - so OBVIOUS.

I see this thread is 'featured' and have noted most of her posts tend to sing the praises of QVC, I continue to wonder, is Millie a QVC 'plant' or employee? And no, I'm not trying to be snarky here, it's a legitimate question.

Glad it's NBC. Love Kathie Lee and Hoda Live and other NBC programs.

No reason to doubt that- but there's also little reason that it's true.

I'd far trather believe optimistically than go with the constant negativity of these boards.

I can understand not loving GILI all the time - I'm not a fashionista, but Jill is a highly successful person. She happens to be a woman and like many successful women in our country seems to be held to some high level of performance than most men are How sad for young women in our country.

I hope the NBC venture finds a new female entrepreneur --even though that's doesn't sound like it's their goal. BTW- tomorrow's show is about home and kitchen, not fashion. For me, there might be something I'd actually buy if it winds the contest.

Does anyone plan to vote?

Hi @stevieb

I've seen this question posed before about different customers that participate in the forums. There are no QVC employees participating in the forums who are not clearly marked as an employee. There are also no QVC appointed "plants" in the forums. There are legitimate customers in the forums who share their happiness with QVC. On occasion we will feature a customer's post because we don't want anyone to miss the topic that was raised. In this particular example we thought many might like to know about the topic @millieshops had posted since we see many hoping for new items.

I hope my sincere response to your question is helpful.

I recorded the show and fast forward to see the QVC items. All three items are from new people showing their items.

My vote was : The shawl, that turns into a top, and scarf. It makes three designs.

The other item was a short slip over shorts. To wear under dresses or skirts that can be seen through.

The other item was a necklace that has the shadow of city buildings in major cities.

Today they showed the items around 1 1/2 hours into the 4 hour show.

Record to fast forward because that show is FOUR HOURS LONG.

Basically, its their "QVC Sprouts" program that they have been doing for a couple of years. They are just partnering with The Today Show for added visibility, and to drive traffic to the site. They did this before, about a year ago, but I don't remember if it was NBC that they partnered with last time.

I saw that segment today. I think they are going to show a total of 9 products competing for the prize. I think the next 3 will be household items.

the short slip with panties was made out of regular material and not a shaper. The presenter said you wouldn't get tired of wearing it since it wasn't tight and constricting.

the city skyline necklaces looked nice but I think it would be a gift shop item in the city it portrayed

the shawl cowl poncho whatever is something I'd never be bothered with. It had buttons all across the middle of the garment I guess to make it shorter or into a scarf.

I would call all three of the items shark tank losers

Next three items on the today show coming up at 8:18

Just saw the three items for today but they didn't wow me.

this is essentially what the sprouts program was doing on qvc. i guess this is an extension of it to bring these items to a wider audience. right now there are 72 sprouts items available.
