TSV SUGGESTION

ma42 — Sat, 20 Oct 2018 01:36:20 GMT

Please cut the time on the TSV's. An hour of them are too much and 20 to 30 minutes in the very next hour is just outright overkill on the subject. It is very irritating. Ir really does not make me want to buy it.

I can remember when the TSV was presented 20 minutes after the hour for a few minutes and 20 minutes before the hour for just a few minutes.

It is just to much so I just change the channel.

There is an old expression "Enough is Enough."

Believe it or not, yours is not an original idea. We've begged and pled ad nauseam for shorter presentation but our pleas have fallen on deaf ears. We always wonder how many viewers they lose during these long, painful presentations.

QVC has become a series of infomercials.

It would be tolerable if they actually gave us pertinent information but it's all blah blah blah and let me go over colors again.

I stopped watching after the first presentation...I enjoy the hosts and vendors demonstrating the products but every hour is too much..I am thinking they show all of the presentations to catch those watching on different time zones. If I need to go back and watch again I just go to youtube!!

I do over-dose on QVC. So so so repetitive --- and BORIING!!!! Most of the time I change the channel when they show the TSV's --- and I'll watch another program and turn back to QVC 20 minutes later - and they're showing the same product. EEEEEKKKKKK!!!! I find myself yelling at the host to "Shut Up." I think they hypnotize the hosts -- normal people couldn't keep yapping on and on and on.

Sure it's probably way too much for anyone watching continuously and more for entertainment. It's a shopping channel and not a movie!!! I can remember back when they were not shown much and if I wanted to see a presentation again if interested I had to wait and often never bought because I had other things to do so for someone like me it's a good thing it's presented over and over. Those complaining probably rarely buy the TSV's anyway. I find it a good thing to show it often for those who just check in off and on and those channel surfers. I would bet that is how they sell the most and not to those who watch and watch "ad nauseam"! The main object of doing this is to sell and not placate those complainers who insist on watching all day and don't buy much anyway. They surely would loose sales by showing the TSV's less!!! Some act like QVC is the only channel they have!!

I get tired of theTSV being shown so much, tooI

When I change it over to Q2, and they are showing a rerun of the TSV, that really irks me! Why would you have different channels and show the same product on both?

Idiots!!

I turn the tv off and get busy reading or doing crossword puzzles and don't think about turning it back on for hours.

I'm sure not missing anything.

Yes, yes, and yes! Please no more than 10 minutes. The long presentations drone on and on......I change the channel.

ITA! In the morning I usually keep QVC muted in the background while I wake up and become functional. They just finished a half-hour presentation of the Halo TSV at the end of AM Style. Okay, it looks nice and sleek, but what does it have to do with Style? (I think Leah just wanted to finish early today. 😉) Ironically, the first item in Saturday Morning Q was Cuddle Duds fleece lined socks, which would have been appropriate for AM Style. A half-hour is way too much time to devote to a single item in a multi-item show. If I’m really interested in seeing an item’s presentation, I’ll wait until later and view it at my leisure online.

I agree!!!! 10 minutes max; show the item in detail including colors, sizes(if applicable), uses (if applicable) and move on. No need to create a story about the item or how the host's family uses it.

If the point is for people to tune in and continue watching (and buying) then the programming should facilitate that scenario, not discourage it. Hours of repetitive showings hogs the air time to the exclusion of other items When the TSV is a dud it gets worse—the hosts get increasingly hyper as the day progresses and the reasons we should buy it can cross over to ridiculousness.

Sustained presentations obviously work or they wouldn't keep doing them. HSN does the same thing at midnight, drives me nuts, in fact I don't watch for them anymore.

Re: TSV SUGGESTION

SunValley — Sun, 21 Oct 2018 23:55:03 GMT

I think they buy so darn many of the TSV that it has to be shown incessantly to sell them all. Years past the TSV was bought in smaller quantities and they sold out, so the presentations ended earlier. The smaller quantities also meant a higher degree of quality control. When they order 150,000 TSV D&C pants or 100,000 pairs of Clark’s, quality suffers.

Clark’s has really been zapped by reviewers who are tired of fit issues. And I believe 2 recent TSVs were pulled from inventory. I know I have sent back ill fitting TSV pants (as much as 2” length difference between 2 pairs of pants of the same size).

Remember back in the day when you could only purchase 1 TSV - and they often sold out early in the day......and the TSV used to be a value as well - those days are gone.

Re: TSV SUGGESTION

hsawaknow — Fri, 26 Oct 2018 01:22:35 GMT

@Mom2Dogs I remember when the TSV was presented and it was a brand new item and they would spend 10 minutes on it, as opposed to HSN which spent 30 minutes on their TSV. I remember Lisa Robertson selling an Iolite ring and it sold out in 8 minutes. The phones where jammed, automated ordering was jammed, I had to keep calling over and over until I could get through, and then my ring size was gone and wait listed.

I haven't seen that happen in years......

OK, this whole TSV air time has gotten ridiculous. HOW many times do these people need to REPEAT themselves? Customers DO have brains - I think we get it the first time!

This constant ranting and repeating have gotten totally ridiculous!! I have no idea how anyone can make it thru watching an entire show featuring the TSV, much less any other show of late either!!!

What are they babbling about half the time? - NOTHING that has do with the item!

I do not care what the vendor says - all is fantastic to them, and I do not care what the host thinks either - they are there to sell.

Move on to another item!!!!
