Sales people

Last night during Fri-yay the host tried to selle a hot pink Dooney bag. I wasn’t going to buy it but the way she tried to sell it made me feel like they think I don’t know fashion. The host was wearing a striped red jumpsuit and navy shoes with some trype of design. The host put the hot pink purse on and said “I love a pop of color with color”
Nobody in their right mind would put that outfit together. Shawn does it as well with Isaac. She puts crazy prints together and they both gush over how it’s “killer”
I don’t get it
What am I missing? Jen Coffey and Leah don’t do that. They present outfits a person would actually wear. I felt like the host last night will do anything to sell. I guess she doesn’t know her audience. This is how I feel. I have been watching 30 years. I don’t want to look like a clown and I don’t want a host pushing crazy outfits on me to sell.

I don't care what they push, if I'm not going to be comfortable wearing it I won't buy it, I only buy black, brown, or an occasional navy purse. I don't like to draw attention to myself. I'm not into "pops of color". I guess I'm boring but I don't want to change out my purse everyday based on my outfits (even though my outfits are shorts, tees and sandals). I don't want other women coming up to me and commenting me on my purse.

I agree with you. I have one hot pink top end bag, bought over ten years ago. It was bought at an outlet, on sale and to top it off a special discount for October, Breast cancer month for buying PINK!

I was very active in this cause at that time and used the bag all during May, for spring and October for Breast Cancer awareness. My outfits all based around the bag.

When I bought this I never thought I would use it so much, love it and get so many compliments on the handbag!

Pink has been trendy the past few years, one reason, it's one of Millennials' favorite colors. Now, I think it has caught on with other age groups.

For those things some of us don't like, there are others who do like them even though we wonder why they do.

They will say anything to make you buy!

No sales person can make you buy anything...it's all you so don't make them your scapegoat.

Re: Sales people

Gavgav — Sat, 17 Apr 2021 14:27:40 GMT

I didn't buy anything

im not making them a scapegoat

Salespeople try to sell. I saying they think their viewers don't know style and try to push stuff.

Yes, when I make my weekly run to shop the produce aisle I must present myself in joggers, scrappy shoes, lace peeking out from the poncho/hoodie and collar popped. And I must decide on the hobo bag or crossbody and just maybe I need that rfid water bottle thing. Oh, my hair! Well I guess I will wear that headband with matching mask. It kind of clashes with the yellowish pink army green camo I got goin' on but hey, it works! Oops, almost forgot that round box chain with message pendant. Hoops...oh yeah. Pinkie ring a must. Am I ready yet? Oh no, it is raining. Gotta get the water repellant jacket on and take the cat print umbrella. There...I am ready. Sure hope they notice at the cereal aisle!

Just my opinion of course. It is the salespersons job to sell. That is what they were hired for. If people don't buy that means they are not doing their jobs properly and will be sent to QVC2 or nights or out the door. They need to do their job or else.

I am a person that gets turned off by aggressive sales people, both online and in person. I mute most hosts and vendors, when I watch, look at the item, check dimensions and make a decision. I mute videos also. I was interested in the D&B show but couldn't listen to the host. Ended up turning off anyway.

On QVC I think it started with th LOGO line. That particular vendor LOVES to rant "Everything goes with everything. Be playful. Have fun with your clothes." Well, there is a difference in having fun and looking like a bag lady. Just my humble opinion.

Remember that QVC has MILLIONS of viewers. Different cultures, different ages, different styles...

I am very elegantly fashionable, but I also like fun and playful..

I adore pops of color, and sometimes I am completely colorful!

I have enough self-confidence in my own style and my own choices that no host could ever make me feel uncomfortable.

Yet, I also respect the hosts' opportunity on air to be creative and share.

I do not mind any ideas or styles that the hosts share--thinking out of the box is a useful experience.

I think saying things like "Nobody in their right mind" is silly and reflects only the writer's lack of style, not the hosts.

"A pop of color" is one of the hosts' go to sales pitches along with " buy one and then get one in a "fun" color."

@FancyPhillyshopper - Completely agree with your post. It's nice that there are choices for everyone. What a boring world this would be if everyone like the same style and color.

One poster said she had an issue paying 200.00 for a purse. We all spend our money in different ways. I am glad to spend 200.00 plus for a purse - namely Dooneys - because they last a lifetime. I don't switch purses out with every outfit and I need a purse to last a long time.

We're all different.

I have a hot pink Brahmin bag that I wear with everything in the summer. I didn't see the Dooney show but I doubt I'd flip out over it. Remember, hosts will say and do anything to make a sale.

One of the ways the Q gets you to buy their more-expensive-than-anywhere-else Dooneys is to offer them in Q-only colors. They latch onto a popular style and offer it in thirty colors, as they did with that logo lock hobo. Then they tell you to buy a color you don't have and wear it with everything; as they try to convince you that that bizarre color you just purchased is really a neutral!!

They will say anything for you to buy!Even say "I bought 20,(yes she said) of this a few years ago.Come on we are not stupid!
