I came out of my sugar coma (thank TheraPony and XXXXXXX for being perfect enablers) and thought I'd wander over to the the forums to see what's the haps. Always interesting before, during and after a TSV WEN-a-Thon. This might be the best response to why QVC gives WEN so much time. Clearly there response is from a very savvy business person:<br /> Statement: Ridiculous. It's become the Wen network. How many hours of shampoo can people watch. I think their programming needs a real shake up. Every show is the same<br /> Response:<br /> They don't schedule their programming around people watching QVC for entertainment.

Statistically, the type of people, who watch shopping channels all day long, for hours at the time, are NOT necessarily Network's best bet selling product to.

Who buys the most from a product line? Yes, that's right - people who like this line and use it's product! People who have money to spend on their favorite product as well.

These are usually busy, working people, or people running their business, often with large families to buy a product for also. In order to target these types of Buyers QVC plans their programming schedule.

Normally, buyers able to afford purchasing plenty of favorite pricy product, are NOT the folk watching QVC for hours. They tune in to watch a program of their interest, and tune out of channel when it's over.

Such important Vendors like Chaz Dean have a capacity of bringing a lot of money during his TSV, his product is very good, like it or not. Here is your reason why a lot of time is given for Wen shows this Weekend.

Network wants to get REAL BUYERS of product, and catch them in between their busy everyday schedules. Additionally, network is trying catch attention of newcomers, new watchers and new potential buyers, thus running repetitive shows on the weekend, when most folk are off work and able to catch a show or two.

If QVC was not a Home Shopping Channel and would schedule programming entertaining folks, they could run soap operas, or something. Though it's hard for me to miss, there is plenty of drama already happening around Wen, right here on Q's boards!

Bruingirl this is so very true. I do not sit around and watch QVC all day long. I am thankful for all the shows as I am lucky (not so much this time) to catch even one live show. Q

QVC is NOT in the business of entertainment- they are in the business to SELL. That is why they aren't changing their programming for all the complainers about the "stale" schedules- those people (admittedly) aren't even buying very much and are watching for all the wrong reasons.

QVC is in the business to make money and apparently doing a good job of it seeing as how long they've been in business. I don't watch 99.9% of the shows QVC has and as such, I don't beeyotch about it constantly, spending hours posting narratives about the QVC programming. That is just a waste of time and energy on something as silly as a shopping channel which, again, is not in the business of entertaining me for hours on end.

thanks HD! Did you see the comments on the other thread I posted this on? some have been poofed interestingly enough Smiley Wink

well my guess is technically Q poofed cause someone posted a link to Dooters FB page…and that same someone …well I took a screenshot so I will email you tomorrow and you can see what was posted yourself. I had a feeling someone would hit the report button if you know what I mean….guess some just don't like truth and would rather keep believing what they believe….I mean that thread was about Q programming and I was offering some insight….but some don't like it I guess….

Actually, this was my post #36 on this thread. I posted it in response to an above comment. Bruingirl saw it on Dooters page and re-posted it here.

But I am glad it's being discussed.Smile

I've probably watched the WEN segments two or three times since I started using WEN (thanks to my friendly enabler Nicole WI). I've missed many due to the hours I work. But anyway, one day a month (week? Not sure how the scheduling goes, really) of an all-day run is not that bad so people can catch it at any given time. Other stations have an informercial that lasts for several hours.

Anyway, thanks to the power of the internet, you can browse the QVC shop, looking at things you want instead of the things you can't stand.

ah gotcha! The usual suspects. I can't wade through all that silly kwap on those threads so I haven't checked them out in a long time. It is old and tired- same rants, different day. Some just have to find purpose in their life and these types of things must be theirs.
