I looked for a thread on this, but didn't see one.  Excuse me if one has been started.

 

There, is a nice article on today's Yahoo, about QVC.  In some areas, it is very interesting.

I tried looking for it and couldn't find it.

What was it about? Do you recall the title? May be easier to search.

“We are going to have product for her [QVC’s shopper] that’s compelling, that’s a great price. It’s going to be the best price the first time we show it, so she doesn’t have to worry that we are going to put it on sale the next week,” said QVC CEO Mike George.

 

He added, “We are going to give her information and inspiration around that product — how to really use it, how to make the most of it. And we are going to do it in the atmosphere that, hopefully, feels a little more relaxed than the mall.”

Re: Article about QVC

[ Edited ]

I found this article positively, totally absolutely HILARIOUS!!! 

Download laughing 16Download laughing 16Download laughing 16

 

 

The company doesn’t offer discounts but bets on the convenience of shopping from home. “We are going to have product for her [QVC’s shopper] that’s compelling, that’s a great price. It’s going to be the best price the first time we show it, so she doesn’t have to worry that we are going to put it on sale the next week,” said QVC CEO Mike George.

 

SERIOUSLY---Mr. George...other ONLINE RETAILERS offer BOTH the SAME convenience of shopping from home, but with actual discounts and better shipping, and no "try me fee" (when you return something you lose your original shipping and have to pay for the return label which amounts to around $10).....

 

And as far as "compelling products" all I'm seeing is the same ole products they've been showing all year....and even some products that returned from past several years ....Download rolleyes 10  and adding a color an then calling the entire product "new" just doesn't do it for me.......And haven't seen anything truly NEW an COMPELLING!!! 

 

As far as the "best price"....not so Mr.George....group of us all chipped in and bought a Ninja for a friend....sorry but both Best Buy and Costco beat you......AND to top it off, this wasn't even a sale price, this was their regular price....

 

These are the reasons I'm watching and buying a heck of a lot less from QVC these days.....Woman Frustrated

 

Que up the song "Dream On" by Arrowsmith because that is what QVC's CEO is doing---JMHO!

 

@stevieb  Oh I'm just waiting for your take........

 

 

 

Edited---this is the CORRECT link...

@JCF

 

Just a future tip---all you have to do is highlight the url click COPY come to the forums and click the paper clip and paste the url in the box....

 

Sometimes you can just paste the link right on the Forum without using the paper clip..
