Does anyone else miss that we do not know in advance whata the TSV is? I wish it was posted.

I can't say that I miss that, but I really miss showing the host names on the program guide. I don't know some of the newer hosts by sight, so it helped to see who they are on the program guide.

I actually kinda prefer it this way.

Yes. It's silly and childish to make it a "big secret."

Idiotic and moronic. Another marketing blunder.

I frequently purchased a TSV on pre-sale.

One of a multiplicity of poor marketing ideas.

Actually, its kind of a relief not to have to read discussion about it before hand. I'm rarely interested in buying it so really don't care what it is. I've ordered and been disappointed too many times.

No it does not bother me. I actually prefer it. It actually became confusing and not worth the supposedly big deal of a TSV if you can purchase a week before and a week afterwards. Frequently, I want to see the presentation. They had so many overlapping TSV's that sold for days I just stopped being that interested.

I don't really care one way or the other, but I didn't like that pre-sales could deplete stock/colors/sizes.

I prefer it. Several times I've waited for the first presentation only to see that the size you need in the color you want, or the makeup shade you think might match has already sold out?

I actually kind of like it. It's reminiscent of the early days of QVC when you didn't know until midnight what it was, although you can get an idea by the program guide. I don't buy very much anymore because I just don't need much now but I don't think it's their worst idea. You can comparison shop in minutes just using your phone or computer now so it's not like you have to run around town to see if anyone has better prices. I don't see how it hurts. I just wish they'd get more unique items in and less of the same old things all the time.

It doesn't matter to me personally. I rarely buy the TSVs anyway, so I always assume they won't interest me.

Even if I knew and I was able to buy the TSV in advance (like we used to), I always waited until the actual TSV day to make the purchase because I like to see a detailed presentation before making my final decision.

The Big Deals have taken on the way TSVs were treated.

There are multiple ones available at the same time and frequently the ability to buy before it is debuted.

Very little difference between a TSV and a Big Deal, other than the TSV inventory may be larger.

Yes and No ...... we got used to it, so its a change. They call it " TODAYS Special Value" for a reason. Some people see super upset over this - talk about First World Problems, right?

Re: TSVs

wifey2qt — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 09:46:13 GMT

@Johnnyeager silly and childish? Like your post?

Re: TSVs

Caaareful Shopper — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 10:35:43 GMT

I prefer the TSV actually being just midnight to midnight [minus 1]. Why even call it a TSV if it's not just the one day?

There seem to be several Big Deals concurrent on any given day. That should satisfy those that want to ponder over an item that is supposedly more value-priced.

Re: TSVs

Johnnyeager — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 10:43:49 GMT

Yeah, absolutely. No doubt about it. Without argument, that Q decision is most decidedly, firmly and profoundly silly, amateurish and childish.

Like keeping a child's birthday gift under wrap.

Ooooh! Big Surprise! Thanks Mommy QVC!

chrystaltree — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 11:08:16 GMT

I don't care. I always waited to see a full presentation anyway.

Re: TSVs

FranandZoe — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 13:53:33 GMT

Did anyone see Ali just before midnight "hinting" at what the TSV would be? Talk about silly and childish. Jennifer seemed annoyed with her. But I don't think Jennifer knew she was still on camera.

I liked having a "heads up" a couple of days before, but would not purchase until the day of so I can see a presentation.

I agree with everyone that the TSV should not be sold beforehand. For one thing, it is supposed to be a Today's Special Value. Secondly, it depletes the stock (colors, sizes, etc.) which disappoints a lot of shoppers.

I have chimed in before on this topic and will reiterate that I don't like to be an impulse shopper. So, knowing a day or two ahead gives me a little time to think about it and check reviews, if there are any.
