That is shocking! Didn't Invicta actually invest in ShopHq a few years ago?
Can Isomers be far behind?!

@Bookplate. Yes, at one time Invicta was giving them a lot of financial support.

There are still hundreds of Invicta watches on ShopHq.

Invicta basically 'paid to play' with their watches. Sure, you can call it 'investments' but really they just they wanted airtime for their product. They absolutely got it but it was to the demise of HQ. I'm sure they did extremely well with their 'investment' the first few years there. Unfortunately there was no way they could sustain sales at HQ with just watches. A silly strategy. Shutting off categories such as, home, kitchen, beauty and even some fashion for the sake of their brand was a massive mistake. Actually, an arrogant mistake, IMO. I'm happy to see them go. No love lost here. I hope the best for HQ after the last remnats of Invicta are gone. It was a great channel with so much affordable good product. I hope they can make a comeback.

I always thought a portion of Shophq's offerings were watches, but definitely not just Invicta. I only knew of Invicta shows on Tuesday nights for a while, but there are a lot of other hours to fill.

As far as other options, I get emails from them all the time with daily ads that aren't watches.

You make it sould like Invicta took advantage of the channel, which seems VERY unlikely. Why? Because there was obviously an idea that worked for both parties. If Shophq management thought the idea worked with their business model, before any shows happened, aggreement contracts were signed.

No one held a gun to anyone's head.

When a channel is in dire straits as HQ was/is and if one of their vendors offers to pump money into the company no one will say no. Of course it was both side. Invicta just took advantage of their position thus making things worse at the channel. When you wipe out 60% of your product categories and only show watches and product brands Invicta owns or are connected with in some way then there's a problem. No other outside brands can compete. As many here know many brands left HQ as they should. Yes, guns can't be held if one party is in such need.

Oh and you only knew Invicta as a Tuesday show. When their money came into play Invicta's time slots were almost everyday. How do you think HQ got the nickname 'the watch channel?' They didn't have it before the money was pumped in? Plus, Invicta had so much 'influence' at HQ they changed the companies colors to Invicta colors aka yellow and black. They also painted HQ's building the same. Money can do a lot.

Interesting that Kendy now works for JTV .... hmm.

When does this start? This has been in the works for a while.

I also thought that Invicta owned a percentage of the network.

@We rescue cats

A new owner for invicta or shophq? Not clear who you mean.

Shophq let Kendy go. Probably to free up a bucket load of salary money. I think when she signed on with Jtv, she was instrumental in convincing Invicta to make the leap to JTV. It's been obvious for months that Invicta's days at Shophq were coming to an end.

During the height of Pandemic, remember that it was Dr Dubrow that just about took over the network with all of his health products, at that time we all thought he had made a huge investment in SHQ.

I think he was the face for the brand Medic Therapeutics based out of Hollywood, FL.

Invicta's home base.
