Host Ordering...

Puggirl — Wed, 14 May 2014 15:00:04 GMT

What's with the hosts ordering in the studio when they are trying to sell you something. I know they see the items before the show they can order it then, not while they are trying to get you to buy. Maybe a PR trick???

It's a PR ploy, puggirl.

its a childish woman thing....you never hear the men yell out...order me this GPS....Bose...or any of the various ""men-type"" products...Put that Dell on my card...throw in this car polisher product along with it....lol....

its very unbecoming...and does not get me to purchase...actually its a turn off...and it seems more and more female hosts are doing it...I heard Jill order some gold earrings yesterday...

I think it's a ploy also to push an unpopular color--"Quick Chunky,order me the crop pants in neon green" then neon green will start to sell

Maybe the rules have changed but back in the day I remember the hosts saying that they weren't supposed to order anything until they were off the air.

I remember them saying also that they were not allowed to order until after the show so customers get first dibs. But obviously rules must have changed because a lot of them are doing now so guess it turned into a sales ploy now.

Yes, only the women do it. It's very unprofessional & absolutely does not make me rush to order!

I wish they'd stop doing that. Yes, I know, I have free will & can change the channel. I do.

Ladybug is right; it's just a trick to stimulate sales. I always loved my co-workers but I wouldn't trust them or anyone else with my CC information and PIN number, would you?

OMG! I have to order whenever they say it.

I think this is childish. Obviously, the hosts can order this stuff anytime. I find it very irritating, and I think less of each host that does it. Do they thing we're stupid?

I doubt anyone has their cc info...if someone calls all they have to say its for whatever host and it can be ordered...as the cc info would already be on file...

LOL! I've never understood this as they must see what they are selling beforehand, and the items must be on qvc.com. Always thought it was phony..........Suddenly they are overcome and must have it? But didn't feel like that beforehand?

its really annoying when they say can I get this is xxxxs and all five colors - YES its a sales ploy. I wonder how many of the production people have their cc card numbers, they must all have them

It's like the hosts are giving everyone extra permission to impulse buy since they're doing it too. Crowd psychology.

Someone there must have noticed that they get a sales spike when the hosts talk about buying things. We're supposed to think, 'Well she should know. She sees all sorts of stuff everyday. So if she wants that thing it must be really good!'

Do you need a password if you order from your cell phone?

Whatever their motivation, it doesn't really bother me and it also doesn't make me rush to the computer to follow suit..., though it is rather transparent.
