QVC 2018

TX-starlight — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 05:03:52 GMT

I am SO hoping QVC remembers complaints about the stale programming the last few months. Especially wishing they would change the Monday night line up with LOGO & IM. I have not watched on Monday night in 2-3 yrs. Please have a make-over QVC!!

I wouldn't expect much to change until the upper management is changed. After all, the ones currently in place aren't likely to admit their theories on running a shopping channel were sadly out in left field. Can't wait to see the 4th qtr financial report.

@Kachina624 Did management change recently? I don't research or keep up with things. I would also be interested in 4Q. I am not watching much these days, but programming seemed horrible this past yr. I've watched for 25+yrs, 2017 was worst I have ever seen. I don't bother watching, just check "items recently on air", to see if anything interests me.

Stale lineup of products, presentations that go on far too long, drive people away. Much easier to just look at what has been on air. Add to that, too many hosts who feel the need to yell, or babble about anything except the product, there's no reason to watch. One host always feels the need to style, instead of giving a basic product description. The most she will do is state the color. They just need to take her off the air, and let her style the models. That would be better than inflict her on viewers who are forced to listen to her roll mints all over her mouth.

Why?

Hoping for dismal sales?

I would think when sales go down they would not continue to show what isn't selling. I prefer to check out QVC online and just watch for a bit when channel surfing. Before the internet, watching QVC to buy was the only way to order but I'd sooner watch other things on tv.

The TSV is on wayyyyy too much....that is the turn off for me

I agree it was the most boring holiday programming ever. I did enjoy Valarie's shows and the fashion. The electronics bores me to tears, there is way too much of that. That type of thing I wouldn't buy online because if there is a porblem with it they don't always stand behind the product......and of course the problem always occurs after the 30 days!! Yes the TSV's constantly on every 20 minutes is nauseating.

Q's Monday night lineup just plain stinks. LOGO _ LOGO _ LOGO starts it off. ZZZZZZZZZZ

@fthunt

Apparently Q is doing what works for them, and that’s fine. We are not required to watch, right? LOL If we don’t care for the programming, it saves us money! There is so much here I would never buy: cosmetics are too expensive, prefer to buy electronics locally, etc.

But I admit I do wonder about Logo. It all looks the same to me, all those ruffles and fabric around the hips, garments so long. Looks like something hippies would wear. I assume it is a style for more youthful, flamboyant people.

I'd like to see them change up the hosts for the Monday night lineup. I like IM and his line of products but I don't watch much since I'm not willing to put myself thru the pain of listening to the host who wants to talk about everything BUT the product.

Re: QVC 2018

GinaV24 — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 14:49:49 GMT

Ha @fthunt actually no, Inspired Style kicks off that Monday line up but since I am over being annoyed at the overcaffeinated host which then rolls into Logo show, I never watch.

Re: QVC 2018

bonappetit — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 16:08:44 GMT

Same-ole music, sets, hosts, same chit chat. Nothing new! Why not change it up. New sets for Isaac & others. The music is so stale & so boring QVC. Even retail stores change their window dressisngs to draw in customers.

I agree @GinaV24 and there's nothing particularly inspired about it anyway... Essentially, it's nothing more than that missing third hour from the old PM Style show that departed along with Lisa...

@Kachina624 The 4th Quarter results aren't going to matter. Sales figures have been more or less tanking for several years and I believe last year's 4th Quarter figures were bad and yet, still, here we are with the same moribund array of schlock and the same stale leadership.

As for the Q doing what's working for them, I'm not sure it's working, in fact, based on sales figures and viewer feedback... it appears that it isn't... But, I'm not sure the aforementioned stale management knows what to do or is willing to do anything at all...

I am bored to tears with QVC's programming for the last few months, so blah, I have been watching MORE of HSN lately because they make presentations seem fun and they allow the actual guest to talk more than QVC does. I know QVC bought HSN and since then QVC has sucked, really bad from A-Z . . . what the hell is going on ???? You need a makeover and new hosts who don't talk so fast and yell and talk over the guests. I have looked at the program guide through January and it all sucks, except for the CC tsv, cause Meredith is the best thing to happen to QVC !!!

GOOD LUCK QVC

My suspision is that eventually electronic retailing such as QVC and HSN will end at some point. Back in the 1980s it was new and exciting and I believe they have made their success mostly on those that were around then and have shown loyalty to them. The newness has worn off and has become quite stale for a lot of folks. It is my thought that most younger shoppers do not care for qvc, they are more inclined to use other retailers on line such as amazon, ulta etc. I seriously doubt that a lot of young females are interested in the clothing they offer. They may pick up on handbags or makeup like mally. As time wears on, I doubt in years to come this type of shopping will be as appealing to those that are working and not on a fixed income like a lot of retirees may be.

Things change. I remember when the thing to do on weekends was to head to blockbuster to rent movies and you know where that has gone.

@Puppy Lips agree. I have yet to see anyone in my opinion that looks good in logo. It must be appealing to someone since they seem to sell a lot of it. I would think it would only really work for tall thin young ladies but I do not see these young girls being strong qvc shoppers. I have never seen anyone in my local area wearing anything like logo.

I think back to the 1980s and occasionally you would see a teenager into vintage clothing with an artsy personality wear a long ruffled top, beads, high heels, jeans and a hat. Cute on some girls back then, now , not so much. To each his/her won. if you like it , go for it. I personally can not see how it would flatter anyone who is curvy, has hips, or is older than 25.

@TX-starlight Have you watched the Monday night lineup? Look at the numbers they are selling. Nothing will change here.
