Fantasy Home Shopping Network

It seems that many of us are less than happy with the hosts, the products, the vendors and just about everything else about our favorite shopping network.

If you could create your very own "fantasy" home shopping network, who would you pick as hosts, what items would you sell, and what would you do to make it a success?

I'd change a lot, but I'd keep their customer service as it is. I find them to be the best!

I'd also have promotions, real sales and clearance items, older models in all shapes and sizes for clothing and makeup demonstrations. I'd definitely keep the cost of shipping down by combining a day's worth of purchases and drastically discounting the total cost. And, of course, lots of FREE shipping on selected items.

I'd keep some of the show hosts who I think are good, and also get some new ones, also in different age groups to cater to all demographics. I'd also beg Kathy Levine and Steve Bryant to come back {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

There's so much more...what would you like to do with your fantasy network?

Preds,

With absolutely no need or use for one I want a Ram truck with Firestone tires because of his voice. LOL.

The first thing I'd do is bring back Polish Stoneware Cool

They don't make things visually appealing here. When they did Polish Stoneware presentations they always showed a beautifully set table. I liked that, it was inspiring. They could do something like that for many of their shows.

The hosts could say something intelligent about what they were presenting, more than a "stripes are trending for summer." Just my opinion, but I think they'd sell more clothes if they showed how to put things together. I know, they try, but it's usually only one liners. And show accessories that would enhance it.

All Pet stuff, all day...

A man I know is Baltimore City P.O who often saves animals during his shifts...

I would like for him to be one of the hosts...

One more thing... I'd have an updated website, not the mess they have. Too many times I've gone to order online and it's down. They lose money, they need to wake up.

Get young people with ideas to spruce up their webpage. I see a header like "New Tignanello" and it's comprised of bags they've been pushing for maybe six weeks already. Another thing that's not visually appealing.

Re: Fantasy Home Shopping Network

Bring back some of the unique items they used to carry and stop selling stuff I can find elsewhere for less. Offer free shipping to customers once they spend a certain amount of purchasers whether it takes two months or six months to reach that spending level. Start giving real,measurements on clothing when a item is presented Instead of making me try to figure out these stupid click here measurements. More models that represent the opposite ends,of the size spectrum (petite's & Plus). Models that represent the average woman height of 5 ft 6 and not 5 ft 9 or 10. Hosts that don't use silly words that they make up and who can prounce words properly. Hosts that don't spend their time dancing, singing and twirling around.
