If QVC Would Read…

If QVC read these boards, they might get some ideas of how to turn the company around. I've read so many great suggestions.

Their challenge is FINANCIAL... Doesn't have anything to do with the gripes on these forums.

@spabar

Actually, some companies have gotten very good suggestions from customers or "lower level" employees. There have been suggestions here that might have been considered. Many here are pretty savvy.

Corporations think they know better...even if it bankrupts them.

financials don't stand alone. Everything they do or don't do, sell or don't sell, affects the bottom line.

But often the reasons for the financial issues are found with the grass root customers, such as those that post here. As Simon and Garfunkel proclaimed: "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls." This board can be a gold mine, for better or worse.

They might not read our suggestions or care about complaints but as business folks they might ask why having two hosts and a vendor is budget worthy. They might ask if presenting ten fifty dollar items per hour is productive. They might ask if there are enough customers for the five thousand dollar fire light bracelets. They might ask if fashion presentations could be more than an item sale when selling outfits might bring in more cash. They might ask why there is no birthstone jewelry show every month. And finally they might ask why there is so much online that never sees airtime? So much could be better but who knows if matters.

Although many ask for more on air product variety, particularly with TSVs, my view is that offerings will be even more narrow.

Management has shifted and consolidated total merchandising and purchasing for both HSN and QVC under one executive. There was surely a reason for that.

Combined purchasing power with national brand manufacturers could result in even more frequent Shark, Dyson, Clarks, Kitchen-aid, Skechers, Barefoot Dreams, Vionic and so on as TSVs.

My thoughts of course.

I got a survey from QVC yesterday, wanted to know how I felt about the prices, quality, shipping, etc.

Hopefully more customers will respond to this survey if they get it.

QVC has millions of viewers, but not so many QVC forum posters.

The comments on these boards are only capturing the options of a few. And, of those posters on the boards, there are the same, even fewer people who keep up with the same complaints over and over again.

So, when you look at the complete picture, I doubt they take these complaints and suggestions seriously.

The comments on Facebook are very similiar to this forum. It's not just this forum that has these complaints.

These forums may be a small percentage of viewers, but they provided a free avenue of feedback for corporate as to what people wanted - more variety, free shipping, calmer hosts. Their Menopause Monday campaign was a joke. They shot themselves in the foot a long time ago.

Regarding the TSV assortment, I've always thought the TSV was a marketing offer paid for by the vendor (like selling ad space) and booked as ad revenue or a large(r) share of profit. That's why we see the same vendors over and over.

No financials don't stand alone but @Desertdi made a succinct and accurate post.

I don't think that most of the "suggestions" made here would have an impact or make a difference.

That vast majority, from what I read, want the 1980s and 1990s to return.

That won't happen; QVC Group is moving in the opposite direction.

Can you imagine being a long time host, and then management comes to you and tells you that you have to dance on air?

Oh, to be a fly on the wall.

Or they tell you that you have to act like some young, hip influencer using lingo that no one over 25 years old understands.

Anyone over the age of say...45 that does that actually has the opposite effect. It makes them look silly and embarrassing to me.
