Host shopping

Please have the host shop before or after the work time. Many item details have to be searched online because they are focused on their personal desires. Describing the substance and weight or dimensions as well as showing the reverse sides would be more helpful .

I had to go online to find out about the items. i don't think they even described the items in the last show.

Agree 100%. I gave up ordering because I could not get the information on the item because the host was so out of control ordering everything.

I agree. I just finished a post about Shawn Killinger shopping for herself constantly. I was trying to watch the Peace Love World show and I had to change the channel it had become the Shawn shopping hour.

The “ordering” on air is a sales tactic only. Clearly it’s not working for everyone 😎.

I think it’s fun and cute when they do it. It makes it a little different to watch, and I like it!

Many complaints on QVC FB about this practice.

Facebook is the best place for complaints. These forums get "locked down" & deleted. Facebook let the hosts know, as well as TPTB

YES, this on air host ordering is an instant turnoff. If goal is to increase sales, it is absolutely NOT wor king with this buyer.

I am a fan of Shawn, but she ordered every single item (in multiples) on air. in the peace, hope, love show . It was so disruptive that the vendor had to do her job and was joking about it to get her attention back to selling the product. I don't know if it was too much coffee or what the problem was, but it was completely out of control, immature, and unprofessional. There used to be a rule that hosts could not order until after the show. Now that the personal shopping is getting in the way of presenting the items, perhaps it should be reinstated.

Agree, Agree, Agree. Success goes to their heads sometimes. The whole culture of QVC has totally changed. Everything is about MORE MONEY, MORE MONEY, MORE MONEY and LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME.

I am also a fan of Shawn.....and i only caught her in the Martha Stewart show ordering.....i feel like it is just a selling tactic also...not sure if i believe the hosts are actually buying each of the items they claim on air.....always felt Mary Beth was the worst with saying she bought so many items presented..although i never heard her do it while hosting...........................I remember when the claim was that they couldn't purchase until AFTER

the shows aired....but i never quite believed that either because once in a while a host would "slip" and say they had ordered the item already.....

Hosts do this as a sales ploy. LR used to do it all the time. I don't believe they are actually buying what they say.

I can't stand when the hosts order for themselves on-air. Are they selling or shopping? Jill about lost her mind yesterday getting her friend "Jason upstairs" to order her two T shirts from the Halston show. Surely she knew what was in the show prior to it airing. She could have made arrangements for someone to order for her then.

Why do the host feel the need to tell us everything they buy from QVC, I could care less what they buy, just stop the nonsense.

Re: Host shopping

Deanie — Sat, 03 Mar 2018 13:40:02 GMT

I too believe it is simply a sales tactic. They clearly have the ability to preview what they are selling. Otherwise it makes no sense. Sort of like getting the people worked up and caught up in the hype, if you buy this you will be like me. I turn it off when it starts. Anyway, this topic has been discussed before and there seems to be a consensus, but, what I find very interesting are the number of posters with a very limited history coming on this thread to post.

Shawn is out of control with this habit of ordering during shows. I wasn't sure anyone else noticed it...ha, glad you all did! She also did it during her presentation with Martha Stewart last night. JMO, I find it disrespectful to the Vendor. Hosts' usually mention they see their "line up" of merchandise prior to show. What's stopping her from ordering items then???

I had a thread on this before. I hate it! Shawn K. is the biggest offender. She started last night the minute her show came on; I immediately changed the channel. Martha was on with a top and Shawn was obsessing on ordering 3 colors for herself; very unprofessional. I don't think it is a sales gimmick with her; she is just being self absorbed.
