For me, July is way too early to be thinking about Christmas decorating. I get revved up for Christmas decorating the beginning of October. Wish I could get interested in July as the many who do like to get a head start on Christmas have a large seclection to choose from. By the time I'm interested in October, many of the items are sold out. But I just can't get into it this early, I'm just barely thinking of Fall mode. I saw some cute things when I did my daily check of "New" items, but can't start thinking about what I may do for my Christmas decorating yet.

I don't see why, people who enjoy days on end of fashion or shoes or handbags or beauty, can't allow others who have different tastes, to have a few day event with things that are of interest to them.

Maybe I'm not seeing it, but I don't hear people whining and complaining about the days on end of these other things, but if it is holiday, they come out of the woodwork.

The bottom line is sales.

QVC airs what is going to make them money. Most all of the year that must be beauty and fashion, as it is day after day after day on multiple channels.

But in the second half of the year, they must make a lot of money from holiday merchandise/programming, so it is what they do.

The only thing they are going to 'hear' is the 'cha ching' of the 'register', when something sells, and that is what they are going to air.

I don't watch that much, only when nothing else of interest on the tube. But, twenty-four or more hours of anything is a bit much to take! Perhaps if they aired other venues on Q2 it might address the repetitive issue.

You're totally right though, QVC wants to make money and will continuous aired whatever achieves that goal. They're not here to entertain. Unfortunately, oftentimes weekend programming on all stations leaves much to be desired.

I enjoy it, and it don’t even celebrate Christmas. Its different. It’s always hot in summer where I live and exceptionally so this year. It’s nice to think of cooler days ahead, if nothing else. And QVC is far from the only place that does a Christmas in July theme.

My only complaint about it is pretty much the same as any of the other product categories—I’d like to see more diverse selections and less of the same things on every show, every year.

If you change the channel you won't have to suffer.

Handbags, beauty products and vaccuums bore me to tears. There are other things to do than watch QVC.

I agree 100%! I thought when they opened up two other channels, especially one dedicated just to beauty, we would be able to tune in and find very different things being aired on each channel and any one given hour or day.

But very often that isn't the case.

I've tuned in many times to actually find the same product line on all three channels at the same time, and tuned into Q and Q2 to find the same category on all day (usually fashion related) on both of them.

It makes no sense, and I've complained before.

Three channels would seem to be best served, by showing three completely different kinds of products at the same time, to capture more people who tune in and don't have interest in something. Using them all to air like things at the same time seems counter intuitive, but heck, what do we know? LOL

I pretty much watch only what I think I might buy although right now I'm really trying not to buy anything. However, I did tune in for most of the 2 hours of Pat and Susan on Thursday. I probably won't watch anything else for days.

If QVC has buyers for CIJ, I think they're smart to cater to them. They're not going to survive trying to appeal to me.

Regarding others doing Christmas in July; Well, Hallmark has their Ornament Premiere today and the place was packed with people buying tons of Christmas ornaments and decor. Don't tune into Hallmark Channel either because they have Christmas movies on...wouldn't want anyone to suffer. I always wonder why there is no complaint with seeing Halloween in Michaels, At Home stores, Hobby Lobby starting this month...but oh mention Christmas and everyone turns into Scrooge.

I enjoy CIJ & everyone should realize that Holiday sales keep retailers in business. There are lots of items & vendors on the Q that I have no interest in but realize others do so that's their time to enjoy-shop & I'll do something else. I don't understand all the complaining about CIJ, use the Programming Guide to avoid the shows. My small town had CIJ in really hot humid weather, it was a well attended fun event & 2 garden centers were Winter Wonderlands, they sold lots of trees & decorations....I look forward to the event every year.

Ha! They've really put it in overdrive this time around, haven't they!

I tend to not watch ANY of it, but did it always start in, full boar, on the FIRST day of July? I thought it started toward the end.

All I can figure is that it must be a huge money-maker.

It.s 90 degrees here...why not have summer items on sale.Personally I do not watch the Christmas shows in July, I choose to enjoy Summer...and when the cold weather comes,I will enjoy Christmas when it gets here.Why does it need to be rushed??

Re: LESS CIJ PLEASE!!!!!!

Bri63 — Sat, 14 Jul 2018 18:41:00 GMT

I can't stand it.

Instead of putting things on sale, they start in with Christmas now. It's getting earlier and earlier every year.

WAY LESS CIJ, please. I won't watch and I won't buy.

Re: LESS CIJ PLEASE!!!!!!

AuntG — Sat, 14 Jul 2018 18:54:54 GMT

My guess is that it is popular and will continue. I'd rather see a Christmas tree TSV than a vacuum or Vitamix.

I love Christmastime!!!!! I shop all year for gifts.

That said, this programming is overkill! Yes, I know, marketing wants to be the first to get your money. Blah, blah, blah!!!!! I don't even turn it on or look online. Too much hype for too long a period. Variety in programming is nice. I enjoy jewelry and fashion programs.

Re: LESS CIJ PLEASE!!!!!!

eddyandme — Sat, 14 Jul 2018 19:44:57 GMT

That's so right on @Mominohio!

Three channels and they waste the programming opportunity - duh! Can't get the Beauty channel on Fios in my area. And, Q2 is often, or at least when I've checked, just re-airing previously taped shows. Why? Guess the POBs know what they're doing; but, imho, offering diverse programming might attract a larger audience.

I miss the QVC is years ago: plenty of brands, diversity in products and enjoyable to listen too - hosts were knowledgeable of the products, no hard-selling techniques, used proper pronunciation, spoke in a normal tone and at a normal pace. The product/sizing, whatever was thoroughly described; the hosts strived to sell the product, not themselves.

Merry CIJ!

I love Christmas DURING THE ACTUAL SEASON. Can't we just enjoy the season we are in? We start to plan for Christmas in September. That is four months of the year dedicated to one very stressful holiday. They have changed all the school years so that kids go back to school at the end of July. We only have 2 months of summer - lets enjoy it while it is her instead of being force fed another month of Christmas.
