Caroline And JR

Caroline on with JR, and orders a bracelet while on air. Tells producer, while on air"order bracelet for me, and put it in as a check,Talk about tacky. It's enough that she orders on air, but a check, really.

So this is what selling has become??

I was surprised to see Carolyn doing a JR show. Wonder if someone else was originally scheduled? Nothing against Carolyn, just not used to seeing her doing a jewelry show.

Why tacky? They've been doing that since LR was a host. Some hosts will do it and others will not. Depends on how bad they want it.

Can't remember the last time I wrote out a check! Don't even remember where my checkbook is!!

@makenaI agree. Nothing tacky about it. Putting it on check is actually classy of her - if enough outside customers want her size, QVC can easily give up her order because it won't be processed until they receive her money.

If it's just a sales tactic, it's not one that entices me to spend nor does it bother me. It's a shopping channel, not a museum. I expect the host and the vendor to work to sell product.

Another seeling tactic is to say when it gets close to selling out, that now there wont be any left for me.

I don't know why a check is tacky; but in any case, I really think this is just for show, and no one is actually ordrering anything. JMO, I have no proof of course.

Carolyn owns every item she ever presents....did you ever hear her go on & on (and sometimes multiple colors!) -- so maybe she didn't have that 1 JR bracelet😉 Gotta get it before it "sells out"!

I own many beautiful silver pieces from JR from the first few years she was on Q - then she offered beautiful quality things.

True....host order while selling...but they never say put it on check order...i figure she said that so she can cancel it as soon as she gets off air...but meantime her followers will scoop it up...selling tactic for sure...

The thought occurs to me...do the producers really have the time/interest to put in an order for a host? I wonder. They are very busy when the show is being presented. Do they have access to a host's account?

Second, don't the hosts see the products before they are presented?

Yes, and at prices that were reasonable. I also have a few pieces from the past but will no longer purchase anything Ripka. Looks like cheap, over-the-top costume jewelry, IMO.

Yeah, like I believe the hosts give their credit card info and Pin numbers to co-workers who they probably know only very casually. That's pure BS and a cheap sales tactic. I love Carolyn but not when she pulls a trick like that... Her credibility plummets.

I've heard other hosts tell the producer to order for them while on air. If QVC allows it what's the big deal about using a check?

How is this a selling tactic?

That is so true. She must own every item she sells. When it comes to D&C line she owns them in multiples. She must have a very big house and closet. I don't believe a word she says anymore. In fact, she is one of the hosts that I will not watch.

I enjoyed Caroline today with Judith. She seemed to really like presenting the jewelry. She even mentioned that she would get into trouble if she ordered the earrings I ordered rhodolite garnets with pink mother of pearl (no diamonique). She was hoping that her husband would order them for her from what I inferred.

In defense of Carolyn, she orders a lot but she also donates a lot . She has a big home with lots of space. I think she is an enthusiastic person who enjoys everything she owns.

How do you know she donates a lot of her items? Also, have you seen her house? I don't understand why someone would buy a lot of items and then donate them. It does not make any sense. It is nice she is enthusiastic but is she believable!! I am sure she will buy everyone of the capris on Saturday so she can donate them to the less fortunate.
