QVC SETS

vctoryann — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 20:10:31 GMT

When is QVC returning to its traditional set? The absence of brand reps in the actual studio has caused QVC to seem to have lost their soul. It feels so vacant psychologically. I have to conclude it's still connected to the covid situation. How long are we going to let this dictate our lives and our businesses?! There is something missing terribly to not see people together on air, not virtual, but present. It is just not the same! I just recently checked out QVC again because I just couldn't handle the vacant feeling of the presentations. Please, please return to your identity! We all need this as we are social beings!! Thank you and God bless! Mary

Huh? I don't even notice the set or care what is or is not there, except for that atrocious, ugly avocado green banquette. My attention us on the product, not the decorations.

@vctoryann You seem very emotional about this, my goodness.

I could not care less if the vendors or in studio or not.

Please don't say "we all need this." We don't "all need this." Speak only for yourself.

I tend to agree with the OP. I miss the vendors too and do not care

for the remotes. I suspect it saves a lot of money in terms of travel,

hair and makeup staff, security and food services.
I am betting the vendors never come back live.

Another thing that is odd is that the vendors ' look' so much better

with the remote lighting than do the hosts? Anyone else notice?

@vctoryann You're correct. I'm a very visual person and have noticed the decline of the sets. It used to be very relatable and added interest. I wouldn't want to walk into a concrete warehouse to shop for high priced items. I chalk it up to how things were and how they are now. I still shop at some boutiques, or stores, that have beautiful couches where I can rest or gather my thoughts.

Welcome @vctoryann to the Forum.

I don't think QVC will return to what it once was in years past.

This subject has been discussed here before. Some don't like Skype's quality. Poor sound, unclear picture. QVC probably found a lot of money is being saved by having vendors present from their homes.

Your complaint will go nowhere here since we haven't seen changes Forum members have been suggesting.

You can try "Feedback" at the bottom of this page, but I don't think anyone from QVC is listening.

My suggestion for you is to get used to it, shop online, or shop elsewhere.

Hope you return to the Forum again.

I never even notice the sets. I could not describe one. I am only interested in what is selling at the moment. I do not care if the room was empty with only a place to put the clothes so I can see the colors. Remote vendors do not bother me at all.

@Janey2 Then you're watching the right channel.

I was watching Jim Shore, last week on FB. He hinted that it will be soon that they will actually be back in the studio along side the show hosts. We'll see what happens.

The sets are awful! Pink cabinets, orange floors, ugly rugs...a few sets remain that look good but most are a mixture of things that do not coordinate and look like a decorator mistake. Vendors add almost nothing because colors are off, sound terrible, and mostly a repeat of what a host says...if the vendor gets in two cents worth. Maybe try vendors and no hosts! We do not need both.

When qvc finally has brand reps back on the set, I would rather they don't start the fake kissing again. It's so idiotic & unprofessional. You can be friendly without adding the kissy stuff.

As others have mentioned, people have been complaining/inquiring about the lack of in-studio guests for a while now. Personally, I would like to see them back in the studio as well. While others aren't bothered by them not being there, I feel they actually do add to the presentations.

The quality of presentations are lacking when vendors are not there. The lighting, visuals, and audio aren't that great. My other big problem is the fact that sometimes the vendor has all of the samples at home and the QVC host only has one in the studio. It's very difficult to make a decision on things sometimes when you can't see the vendors samples clearly. We aren't able to see close-ups (unless they walk up to the camera) or a true color picture when they are at home.

That being said, I know everyone is doing the best that they can. It hasn't stopped me from buying, but it can be frustrating. I do hope they come back to the studio, but I'm not hopeful. Only time will tell at this point.

I feel every word you stated...YES I feel the same. The world turned upside down and though no fault of Covid changes necessar at QVC,,,,They made too many changes that didn't need be. Whatever the case...They better get their act together. Macy's.com has a lot of petites too and sending back is no charge,.....By the way get those models back we miss so much..

I've read Facebook postings from several product representatives indicating that return to studio may never occur for most of them. It could be a rare, occasional event.

Josie sold her Pennsylvania farm during the shutdown and doesn't need to commute from her St. Barts location.

I prefer people stay healthy and don't spread covid/variant to a health-compromised person, or to anyone.

I can't imagine caring about sets, vendors on stage, skyping, hosts, etc.

I find the new set designs very distracting. For instance, on this mornings AM Style, Lean was presenting a handbag. They had the handbags displayed on the back of what appears to be a "booth" in a coffee shop. I had to laugh out loud because Leah couldn't figure out whether to sit down with the handbags behind her or stand behind the booth. SMH. The person who designed this set really made a mess of the presentation. I also noted that Leah and other hosts are constantly asking for set directions because they can't figure out how to maneuver on the new sets. And finally, I am not fond of the color schemes of the sets at all.

I also can't figure out why someone saw the need to have several bathtubs in front of which models pose and presentations take place.

Just this past Friday, during David Venable's Coffee Talk Live video he has on Instagram, someone once again asked him about vendors coming back into the studio.

David said it was highly unlikely that they were coming back any time soon. He said a lot of the QVC staff isn't even back in the studio, and he could not imagine vendors coming back before employees.
