From the article.......

"She has a tractor-trailer-sized storage unit full of her mother’s QVC purchases she plans to eventually sort out."

I’m not sure what to make of that. Seems like a lot of trouble to track down each individual person — millions of them. It would be easy to see what state people are from because they have our address. But their age? That’s more obscure.

I wonder how they could know the average age of their viewers. I’ve never told them my age anywhere. Could it be a guess…

@Teddie.  They arbitrarily called and interviewed people.  Ask their age as part of the interview.  Probably asked if they were over 55.

@Puppy Lips No one can compete with Amazon.Americans have chosen to buy from Amazon rather than local businesses. Jeff Bezos is one of many billionaires who exert influence in all aspects of our life without accountability. The job losses will  accelerate when AI bots take over more jobs.

@Etoile308 ..  They aren't alienating their faithful customers.  Their faithful customers are getting old and their not buying as much.  And, there isn't enough of the next generation to compensate. 

They are well aware of the customers who have been with them for a long time.  That was one of the points in the article.

@Mz iMac ..  Did you read the article?  What did you think?

@Kachina624
Well, that’s another theory. They do a small sampling and then a conclusion. Not sure what to think but it’s another idea.

[Etoile308]

@Winkk , yes they are alienating their faithful customers.

They know which of us are not longer watching, and no longer buying...for a variety of reasons. If we are not buying as much, perhaps they should reevaluate what they are offering, and more importantly how it is being presented.

@Winkk  What I thought was that most of the woman interviewed have serious addition issues = shopaholics.

At least one woman "complained" about easy pay as she "thinks" she owes Q 5k. 

Another purchases so much stuff, she does not remember ordering! 

Another uses easy pay for every purchase.  She does not even know how much she owes the Q! 

Q has not even hit 1 million in new customers.  That's bad.

The "generation" Q is after do NOT

have gift closets

gardens

buys dust collectors & knick-knacks

buys so much stuff they stuff their closets w/unopened boxes/packages

rent storage space for excess purchases, etc.

I've said this before & it needs to be mentioned again.....

Q needs to get designers/vendors who think out the box, represent "people of color."  If they want new customers.

QVC should get out of its own way. Go back and review old (way old) videos and see how sales were handled. No crazy singing/dancing/yelling/personal stories/no shows with 2 or 3 host plus a vendor… and a wide variety of products NOT OWNED by QVC. Hosts behaving politely and with manners. Dressed well and programming that was faster paced and more items per time slot. I remember those days and the products sold. The host behavior reflected the job at hand not a carnival huckster atmosphere. Just sayin.
