Liz Claiborne - some changes are coming!

beach-mom — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 05:34:00 GMT

Just an FYI in case some of you don't know:

Today, Wednesday, February 24, 2016, will be Linda Davies' last show as the Liz Claiborne representative. She will still be on QVC as the Northern Nights representative. I found out when I read her blog, as I usually do Tuesday nights. Carolann will be taking over for her.

I try to DVR the Wednesday shows because I enjoy watching her with Mary Beth. I will miss her. But I think Carolann is great too. I also enjoy watching her.

Linda is moving on to something she really cares about, and I wish her happiness working with Northern Nights!

HERE is a link to her blog.

Thanks. I appreciate you letting us know because I never follow the blogs. LCNY is hit and miss for me but when it fits, it's just great.

WOW - this is quite a surprise, thought LD loved working with/for LC. Wonder how MBR will handle this change.

Anyway, maybe Linda will reinvent bringing back affordable quilts now in her new line of work. I'd love to see that happen. Miss all of the quilt shows that used to be on qvc.

It's crazy how these spokes folks move from one brand to another too - from women's clothes to bedding, very odd I think. Linda sold something else too before the LC line, can't recall what it was though.

No I did not know this. I really enjoy Marybeth and Linda together. I will probably always associate Linda with LC but Carolann does a good job too. I haven't seen a NN show in a long time and was wondering if they were part of the Q anymore. I do own a NN down blanket that I love, have had it for years and still as good as new. I will have to tune into Linda's new show. She is just a pleasant person to watch.

I wish her the best of luck. She is such a lovely lady and I admire her that she is pursuing new things in her life. She looks thinner to me and I wonder what she does to keep fit. I know that someone will say exercise to me but I go to the gym six times a week and somehow do not get thin enough for me.

What a shame. I liked her presentations and she always looked very good in the LC clothing. A big loss for the Liz Claiborne brand.

I think Northern Nights is another brand owned by QVC

Weren't there two sisters representing Northern Nights? I haven't watched one of their shows in so long. What happened to them?

Hmmmm, now I'm wondering if LC will be leaving qvc. Guess we will find out in time.

Re: Liz Claiborne - some changes are coming!

I'm wondering if LCNY will be leaving the Q too. I'm sad to hear Linda will no longer be Mary Beth's sidekick on the LCNY shows but Carolann always does a great job too. Wishing Linda all the best.

I, too, wonder how moving among the brands and different areas affects customers trust and confidence in a product line, (or in QVC in general)

It could go either way. If a customer has watched a vendor, been pleased with their presentations, and purchased (and happy with) the product, then the vendor moves on to another brand, that loyal customer may trust and follow, continuing to purchase what they are now selling.

Other customers may see this as the vendors are nothing more than a paid advertiser, not really an 'expert' this, or trusted that, and be turned off by the relationships that Q tires to build between their host/vendors and the consumer.

And I too, wish that Q would get back some long gone shows, like good quilt shows, Tiffany style lamps, and other home related things that have all but disappeared from their programming.

I have been wondering about them too. IT seems that every time I see a NN product, they aren't there. Maybe they moved to different positions with their company.

SharkE — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 14:25:03 GMT

She's on right now wonder if she will make an announcement about leaving Liz.

I like them. They are great reps, and one could be a host.

I am sorry to hear that, she is cute and classy! Glad she'll still be at the Q though!

Re: Liz Claiborne - some changes are coming!

apple1964 — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 14:44:21 GMT

I already read the blog and I wished her well there. I think she will be a good rep. for that product.

She was with the Motto line - not sure what it was befor that, Sorry I'm not a fan of hers it seems every line she gets involved with goes down hill.

Re: Liz Claiborne - some changes are coming!

SharkE — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 15:19:03 GMT

Guess she will still be at Q just talking about a different product.

" may see this as the vendors are nothing more than a paid advertiser, not really an 'expert' this, or trusted that, and be turned off by the relationships that Q tires to build between their host/vendors and the consumer. "

That's the truth of it, for most items with vendor reps. They're just paid by the company to be a sales face and that's it. No more expert or part of the company than anyone else.
