It seems like every time I tune into qvc, there’s a new model on.

Where do they come from? I know all about remodel Joy starting a business with models.

However these new models ummm..seem untrained. It’s as if a QVC rep sees someone walking down the street and says “Uou want to model clothes?”

I used to enjoy the old QVC shows. You know, the ones with Leah on Saturday morning. It had the same models on the show.

Anyway, why are these new people modeling clothes different so often.

I know it’s primarily about money ((everything always goes back to money); but some professionalism and continuity would be nice.

@Annabellethecat66  I totally agree with you. I get the impression QVC wants the clothes to be modeled on ladies who represent what " real" people look like. That is one way to think about it, but I would rather see the clothes on models who look really good in the outfits. Many times I see a model in something I was considering and she looks terrible in the clothing so I pass on it. I thought the point in selling is to make the product  look it's best. 
there is one model who models Denim and Co. and the clothes look terrible on her. I do not understand QVC's thinking process when it comes to the models.

I totally agree.  I want to be inspired by the clothing - not shocked as to why they are wearing it.  I also am not a fan of the new D Co rep.  She keeps saying she is a large - she's much larger than some of the XL and 1X models.  We don't need another one in a fantasy sizing giving presentations on fit.

Professionalism and continuity are rare in many areas today, not just on QVC.

So true @geezerette .

They seem to not be using profesional models these days, for the most part.  I never thought it would make a difference to me, but it does.

It's not just QVC. it's in commercials and all over print advertising. Certain companies want to be representative of ' real' women.  A lot of women cannot relate to a 5' 10" pretty 25 year old. 

What a model looks like doesn't bother me in the least.

It as been the same models for a long time then recently we had a lot of new ones.  I figure there were models that retired, took different modeling job, vacation, childbirth, health reasons, and personal reasons.  Cotia is now Mrs. New Jersey and I am sure she has responsibilities with that title.

The only problem I have with Joys  models is that the ones that are recorded dance and prance very fast in a circle.  Really aggravates me when I want to see an item I want to buy.  I did complain about it quite a while back and they seemed to slow down some, but lately they have become Taz at even a faster twirl.

IMO the models change based on availability and number of fashion shows; like a fashion weekend == you see a big number of models simply to staff the programming on all their channels.  Again, like real estate, anything will sell if the price is right.  To me, it all comes down to price not the models or hosts.

Models are just working for a living.  I assume they may independent contractors or employees of an agency.  Maybe QVC is unwilling to pay a good rate or is not known as a good place to work? That always leads to turnover.
