QVC's CHRISTMAS PROGRAMMING AND DECORATING

shell garden — Fri, 23 Dec 2016 19:07:34 GMT

I don't want to sound like THE GRINCH......

But....did anyone else feel like this Christmas season in gift or decoration offerings were not up to par this year at the Q?

There was just NO EXCITEMENT in anything....not even in decorating their sets.

If so, why and what do you think they could do to improve next year?

I don't know the answer why but it would be nice if they bring in new vendors, new items. Too much of the same old stuff.

Yes, considering that they were selling decorations, their own were lackluster.🎄

I agree. They need to do something different next year. It was so uninspiring and boring.

I know.....it was so disappointing this year. It was almost as if the Q had no holiday spirit.

Uh, that's not what I said. Perhaps if you had time you could re-read, but if not, okay then. I said it was disappointing.

I remember the days with Thomas Pacconi items....gorgeous and very well made. The price on these items were reasonable too.

I still have his large ornaments (table tops is what he called them) in the snowman family, nutcracker and Santa Claus.

Anyone remember these?

@shell garden lucymo in the Holiday forum posted pictures of a lot of Thomas Paconi's table top items that she owns, church, snowmen, Santas, etc., really something to see.

When I do watch QVC, it's sure not for "excitement"!!

I mentioned this on a thread about a week ago.....The Q. sets were drab and lackluster..the trees were far and few between none where decorated like in the past years...just plain boring...

The merchandise was the worst that i have ever seen....same few items repeated over and over every hour...all through the season...

I can honestly say I rarely had the Q. on almost all year...just sporatically....i would check the items that were already shown and found i didn't miss anything.....

Christmas on the Q and frankly, the Q overall, has been steadily deteriorating for the past half a decade. This year was just abysmal. The repetition and their insistence on 'practical presents' just isn't what I want to see. I don't think I actually watched a full program during the entire holiday decorating and shopping season. Going forward, more product variety, and fewer host 'dedicated' shows, particularly where decor is concerned, might help.

I think the Q tree with purple and fuchsia ornaments and yellow fake flowers was one of the worst Christmas trees I have ever seen. I agree that QVC fell flat in the Christmas decor this year.

@stevieb..I agree especially with all thosed "host dedicated" shows. I hardly watched the Q after seeing the dismal christmas decorating and the sets were just "blah".... I just lost interest after awhile.

@stevieb....you hit the nail on the head. I lost interest fast. I wonder if the layoffs had anything to do with manpower not available in decorating as festive as they have in the past. Just so "ho hum"

@saltysails...lol, you are kidding, right? LOL. Now purple is my favorite color but not on a tree.

QVC fell flat big time this year in decor. So sad.
