Program Ideas for QVC

fortune — Mon, 17 Aug 2015 02:43:34 GMT

When I posted about the excess Christmas programming on QVC, I didn't give any ideas as to what programming I'd like instead. Here are some of my ideas as to what I'd like to see on QVC.

-Victorian home

-Baskets

-Pet supplies

-Paintings

-Antique reproductions

-NASCAR

-Country home

-Gold jewelry - investment pieces

-Collectibles

-Wall decor

-China (dishes)

Anybody have any more ideas? What should QVC bring back?

Clothing made of NATURAL FIBERS ~ silk, cotton, linen, cashmere

I agree maybe once a quarter nice china made by a real NAME manufacturer.

Since they travel so much why not 2 or 3 times a year quality hand made products (not just jewelry) from the countries they visit.

More items made in the United States. What a novel concept!

I would like to see some shows return...I miss Fenton Artglass (they pretty much just make beads now ), Polish stoneware, Linda Dano decor, and more Valerie Parr Hill

I'd love to see products made by women and craftspeople in developing countries.

I used to love when QVC offered items from other countries: Spain, Egypt, South Africa, Russia, U.K., Germany, etc. They weren't expensive at all but items we would buy for ourselves or give as gifts. Perfume bottles, steins, dolls, decorative boxes, stuffed toys, etc.

What's wrong with Pima cotton from the USA, some of the finest in the world? I don't want high end European anything.

Adelina just posted her opinion, as all of us so far have.

(hand up in air) Me, me, me!!!! I'll take Kachina's high end European rejects!

As much as I love and adore "my" Italy, I would like to see more American jewelers showcased by QVC.

And I'd love to see more colorful or interesting items perhaps from South America.

There is so much cool stuff produced in Argentina and Brazil, it would be interesting to see more of that brought into the mix.

I think everyone on planet Earth is three-quarter-sleeved/capri pants'd out.

And unless the pieces get more exciting or "unique", even an Italian gold chain is just a gold chain after a while.

I'd also like to see more e-z or portable furniture pieces made available. QVC seems very sluggish in bringing that to their programming. But there is a huge market for it.

I think they are in a programing rut too. Every Sunday is ITKWD so is Wednesday evening . Friday is fashion day, Monday is fashion day and more and more hosts are getting multiple shows. They need to bring in new vendors with new products instead of same old same old.

Today it was 104 degrees I am not interested in CIJ or a lamb leather Jacket.

There have to be markets for items all over the world. Great post. Of course, the Q would have to want to go hunting and find them. That is what QVC was when I first started watch in 1995.

Caaareful Shopper — Mon, 17 Aug 2015 11:10:49 GMT

I like this thread!

NFL clothing & merchandise (more diverse than the limited supply online)

Pet supplies (ditto)

Mens clothing & shoes

More REAL fashion designers and less celebrity name fashion lines

Home decor that is less cookie-cutter and more unique (i.e., artisan items from all over the world)

Quilts and shams - made from real honest to goodness patchwork - not printed on!

Quilting/crafting supplies

Affordable handbags that are not made of cheap nylon

Open stock dinnerware

Rugs - with a different look than Royal Palace.

Exotic decor from around the world.

**************************************************************************

Same merchandise - change in presentation:

Currenly they sell an item like tablets one at a time, usually giving it a full hour to itself. Most of that time is devoted to why everybody likes tablets - you can do skype and blah. blah, blah. Same thing is said about everyone they present. I think it would be more interesting if they would show an hour of tablets and present 3 or 4 different ones, and actually point out the DIFFERENCES so people could make more informed decisions. Because the way they do it now, whichever one they are showing is always the best.

I would like a lot of different Adult Coloring books. I have one I am coloring now that I got at Micheals and it is full of wonderful nice fancy long gowns...all the ladies are standing among green leaves and flowers. Some of the ladies are wearing cute hats. It is very relaxing.

Sure they can have different coloring books but make them darn good. Really good coloring books.

Also good coloring pencils with a sharper.

Also would be good to offer a nice carrying case for the books and pencils so we can take with us if we are going to be hanging out waiting for someone or traveling hanging out in airports.

I did go look and didn't find what I am looking for.

Found one at Micheals.

Wow! I'm amazed by some of the suggestions. Pretty much nothing I'd want to buy, but it's really interesting to see the ideas.
