LISA ROBERTSON CHRISTMAS TREES

12andcounting — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 22:13:09 GMT

Okay, I admit it. I looked at Lisa's products. The one I'm wondering the most about is the Christmas Trees she was selling. They had THOUSANDS of lights on them. Did anyone purchase one of these, and if so, what did you think of the tree?

I've never seen a tree with so many lights on it!

I'm sure there are people who purchased the small ones. I saw several comments on FB that people just couldn't afford them in anything but the small sizes, no matter how much they might want one.

They are beautiful trees, no question, but people have pointed out that very similar trees can be found from other sources online. Did you know the return policy on the trees is only 15 days?

No, I had no idea. I didn't even check any details because I wasn't planning on making a purchase. I was just curious about how they looked in person if anyone bought one. I was surprised to see trees that had that many lights. I certainly wouldn't purchase anything that only had a 15-day return policy. Geez.

WOW! She even sells Christmas trees. It must be a large company! That's nice.

@Annabellethecat66 It is not -- she is working out of her basement. The trees are so expensive , you better have some big bucks to get one. Only 15 day return policy.

The most beautiful Christmas tree I have ever seen was a neighbor's which was absolutely covered in lights. She had it in the front LR window and everyone talked about how gorgeous it was every year. I think the more lights, the more beautiful.

I must admit I'm somewhat confused with Lisa's Christmas decor she's selling on her website. While on QVC, she decorated her home with the most gorgeous Christmas trees ever! Her house looked like it was out of a display window at a major department store. However I've noticed now all her decor is scaled down big time and nothing seems to be overly gorgeous. Just mediocre at best. Her trees just have lights, no fancy decorating. Her garland, again, just basic decor to dress it up a little. It's all so weird but it just confirms Lisa "loves, loves, loves" whatever it is she is trying to hawk at the moment.

I am not a watcher of live QVC. I don't know any of the newer hosts, just the older ones, many who have left a long time ago. I am just asking.... if she really likes selling why did she leave the Q. I am sure she was being paid well.

bonnielu, Lisa left a lucrative job because she did not get the extra money she was asking for. She called Q's bluff and they declined her. It's obvious she had no plans on what to do after she left. She is now running a mini QVC out of her home. It doesn't matter how Lisa spins it to her tribe but the bottom line is I think she's even more busy now than she ever was at Q. Her, Katie and Nancy are her only business partners, they are swamped. Lisa will always make it look like what she's doing now is a better deal. She never wants to come off like she messed up.

Katie and Nancy are her business partners? Did Lisa say that?

Her QVC decorating was over the top because it wasn't her dime. Now that she has a financial interest or has to answer to financial backers, she has to dial it back a bit.

Nancy and Katie are not her business partners- just employees. Lisa mentioned in one our chats that she had one business partner that is a 50% investor. She owns the other 50%.

I didnt think Katie and Nancy were her business partners.

I always add lights to my trees. I am never happy with what they provide BUT I am not going to pay that kind of money on a tree. Unless your rich it is stupid.

@sunchild- I imagine that business partner is Dr Denese...just guessing....I am guessing maybe she asked a number of QVC vendors...this is purely speculative but Dr D seems very interested and has a warehouse in NJ.

@Stray@BalletBabe@bri20@bri20

The trees and string of lights are very pretty, IMO.

Having a very narrow return window is unsettling.

Perhaps someone with lots of years ahead wanting a reliable, well-lit tree would be willing to pay that.

I like the cashmere poncho and the Morganite ring (sold out). Time will tell me if her things are good for the price.

She has new and more stuff up today.

I say kudos to anyone making a small business work.

@LTT1 that's the question likely to never be answered, as far as quality, reliability and longevity of the products (any of them) or whether there are ever shipping or return issues.

There is nowhere on the website to leave an actual review, good or bad, any less-than-it's-wonderful comments about anything are usually deleted from her FB page, and questions asked there pre-purchase often go unanswered. So you might see praise for items on her FB page but you won't see anything more. That in and of itself would make me uneasy.
