PRODUCTS GETTING STALE

SheriLI — Fri, 22 Nov 2019 16:29:09 GMT

I understand the financial success QVC has had. The reason the run and rerun certain products all the time must be because these are sure money makers BUT .... it’s becoming very boring and predictable TV.
I used to ADORE the holiday season with QVC in the background. I do most of my shopping through QVC.
This year is just FLAT.
I either own everything they sell, or they aren’t developing new vendors.
ENOUGH Josie Maran, ENOUGH Breezies ENOUGH Cheryls ... and is that one Gingerbread baker the only interesting Christmas treat you can find in the WORLD every Christmas?

The international CHOCOLATE show was at Jacob Javitz in NY this past week. Unbelievable products (not only edible). They had hot chocolate machines, and other specialties from around the world.

Similarly, when Martha did her Christmas special from her Barn in Bedford .. everything sold out in minutes.

Your staff has to get on these trade shows and bring us some new and exciting products.

I agree and next year it will be more of the same. What's left to buy at this point? Nothing I want.

Maybe the "new and exciting" vendors are doing just fine by themselves, and don't want to share a chunk of profits with QVC.

I agree that diversity in products and shows can really excite the viewer!

I certainly enjoyed SHOP HQ the past few days when they were traveling throughout the United Kingdom and featuring shows and products from England and Scotland.

I might not buy a teakettle in the shape of a train, but it sure is fun to see!

Also, the castle settings were to die for!

There are hundreds of great products on line that never see the light of day. So tired of the same old products and clothing lines.

Shows are stale, too. Nothing new at QVC.

I agree 100% and have stopped tuning in looking for gifts this year. Just WAY too much FLUFFY! Throws, throws, every designer and brand on top of Berkshire...fluffy, fluffy...just way too overdone. I know the channel siezes on the latest trend and runs it until it dies but this seems excessive, even for the Q! Fluffy tops, socks, shoes, blankets, jackets, coats...miss the diversity of the old days. Am happy with my local Tuesday Morning, Marshalls and outlet mall this year.

I agree. When I see some shows or products coming up and just tune out. How much Josie Maran can we buy?

Let's face it, QVC has become synonymous with stale.

Q has lost it's charm. TSVs are not exciting and offered presale and aftersale. I used to delight in finding something new and inovative that I couldn't find elsewhere. Lately it seems every time I check in ,channel surfing I see the same stuff over and over. TSVs go on and on. Every time I hear the hosts bragging about kids and what they did and do and said , I am outta there. Sets are not special and from what I have read here ,getting raggedy and dirty.

I know things change but something needs to turn around here after all those years. I like to see products demonstrated, displayed and worn tastefully, decoration ideas. Hosts used to give specific measurements and Q even had their own ruler.

I couldn't agree more with all who have posted. Martha Stewart's show from her barn was a great example of good programming. Lisa Robertson used to do a special each Christmas and the items often sold out before I could write the item number down.

Each host's gift list this year has been the same stuff they have been selling all fall. And who wants to give or receive a vacuum cleaner for Christmas?

The VPH shows earlier in the season were interesting and quite a few on my list will be receiving something from her.

Stale is a good word for the current state of QVC offerings.

I have been reading the same complaining for a long time. I don't think anything is going to change. I had it on all morning while doing other things. Out of 4 hours all I saw for 3 1/2 was the cups they are selling as a TSV. They are causing people to turn off their Tv's.

I totally agree with you. It's the same old garbage all the time, nothing new but once in a blue moon. You would think that they would present new items every week since they have thousands of them on their web site, but oh no, instead we get Lock&Lock, Cheryl's Cookies, Kuhn Rikkon, Vitamix and KitchenAid. Don't get me wrong, I am sure these items are good but I want to see some new stuff! How about it QVC, show us what you got in your arsenal, all the things you have got tucked away that nobody ever gets to lay eyes on. ITKWD is getting very stale, just like an old loaf of bread that gets thrown out if it's no longer any good. People will start tuning out of your shows if you don't make some changes pretty soon and I will be one of them.
