Re: QVC Mgt -> Take Heed! For Q Success (ALDI success strategy)

@JoyFilled Warrior.  Yes, QVC has for sure changed.  However most of the complaints here are about common superficial things that any business could experience. I've had plenty of gripes about Macy's,  for instance.

 

QVC's operation is very complex, much more so than a b&m store.  They order goods, to be delivered on a set date, from Asia where there are problems with labor, obtaining raw materials and transportation.

 

There are a million reasons why the shipment might be delayed or may get canceled, all beyond QVC's control.  You can see the potential for multiple snafus and delays in delivering to customers.

 

I don't know the job title of the person in charge of getting shipments to the warehouse.  Expediter perhaps, but he's probably running around with no hair, having pulled it out.

I would be more than happy to use a larger font if the web designers would simply make it stick for each person's acct.  EASY fix!

Yeah, I've been struggling with a consistently sized Font here lately, & surprised when I proof on uploading the same response.  The Font is all sorts of sizes, on the very same post!   *shrugs*

Totally different businesses and business models.  You cannot compare the two but I find it amusing that you think all QVC has to do is watch a commercial to turn things around.

The thing about Aldis is it is a good store to go for some things that you find that you like. But these things will change and won't always be there. They have good basics and also some interesting dips, excellent inexpensive wine, sometimes great breads and always wonderful chocolate and flowers.

Their canned things, snacks, are just as good as any brand name.

Their produce though limited selection is actually very good.

But you can't get everything from there and their coffee, vitamins, wipes, staples like that are not always cheaper.

 

Their parking lots are always easy to access and large and not very crowded.

 

Whereas, it is sometimes impossible to get into a Trader Joes Parking lot. You have to go at odd times-very early and not on a weekend or very late. They rent in small parking lots with small stores and I think that helps them to keep prices lower.

 

Aldis really can't be compared to QVC but I think Aldis is hoping to compare it to other grocery stores,

in their commercials.

 

I don't know why QVC has changed so much. Maybe their prices are overpriced because they are hoping people will buy things at these prices in hopes to making up for deficits.

Re: QVC Mgt -> Take Heed! For Q Success (ALDI success strategy)

i am not a big fan of ALDI.

i dont find good quality produce there.

i dont like that they dont have a bakery or fresh breads.

i dont like that they dont have a deli.

i dont like that there is not a big selection of anything to choose from.

our ALDI has a small parking lot and is in a small shopping center.

 

i DO enjoy QVC......and i DO enjoy shopping with them.

i enjoy it sometimes a little too much. LOL

Aldi is relatively new to Arizona...only a couple years.    I went in ONCE and was not impressed...      

 

OK....it was clean and neat...but I prefer a wider selection of brands and products.
