I always hear how QVC is working to get the attention and the dollars of Millennials.  Presenting clothes for what they think we like and wear.  Making their presentations all phoney with drinking wine and laughing and chit-chatting about inane stuff.  Hey, the thing is, we are not making that much money right now!  We are paying back loans and trying to build careers.  So like if you bring down your prices a bit, we might shop.  We're not rich you know.

@Northray , as a retired person, I was once where you are. You’re on the right track giving priority to paying off your loans and advancing your career. Stay focused and if possible try not to be tempted to purchase stuff you don’t really need. Honestly, that stuff really doesn’t make you happy anyway.

 Paying your loans back promptly will free up money so you can sock it away for retirement. There are so many ways that extra money can be made to work for you and therefore increase over your working years. When you get close to retirement you will be SO glad you stayed the course!

Thank you, good advice.  That's what my mom says and I agree with both of you.

My son is a Millennial and so is my niece. My son makes plenty of money and has no school loan to pay off. He will not buy from the Q because of the S&H and return charges. My son buys just about everything online, but with free S&H and free returns. I remember one time it took him 3 tries to get the right fit on the very expensive shoes he ordered.. My niece is a Q shopper, but not for fashion, she buys home and kitchen items.

Can I meet him?

I have three millennials in my family....I am sure there is very little, if anything, they would wear from QVC...just not their style. The more contemporary lines they can buy many other places for much less. Am not sure the millennials I know would find watching wine drinking and chitchat on tv to be very entertaining.

@Northray  You don't want my son, he's too high maintenance.LOL

[sunshine45]

my three millienials do purchase items from qvc.....not as much as i do, of course.

they are not always looking for a bargain, do like beauty products, love electronics, and have found some clothing and accessories that they like from qvc.

2 are still in school, all three are working.

they enjoy going out, social time, traveling, sports, social media.

2 have loans and are currently paying them......no other bills other than their credit cards.

i dont think you can generalize overall what they are buying, how much their loans are (if any), and what their priorities are.

hmmmmm @blackhole99  i may have a girl for him.

my daughter loves fine food and fine wine.......and loves traveling.
