That works when you are working one-on-one with a customer or are getting feedback from a substantial number of customers. It does NOT work when you have millions of customers watching you on TV with a variety of preferences. And the forums do not make up a substantial number of the QVC customer base.

 

Sales numbers tell them more and there's a reason they want their hosts to be energetic.

Most polls are taken from a random sampling of people, say for example the Nielson TV ratings, millions of people are watching but they can't poll every single person. Maybe the same is true here, we're a random sampling of the millions who watch the Q. So that should mean something.......I think.

I cannot watch, I only shop via the website.  I need to know sizes, dimensions, etc. and do not care to endure the drama (I get that at work).  Many times the information I needed to know before purchasing was not stated forcing me to the website.  And it's where I've stayed.

But sadly a lot of important information on a product is missing from the website.... and questions posted there are for the most part left unanswered ....the website includes mostly sales "fluff"......


@Spurt   Very true!  Very true.  But for me it's better than enduring the drama of the on air presentations.  If information is missing from the website that I need, I call.  I ask my questions and then ask the customer service rep to relay to their manager that the information needed is missing from the website. It is the best I can and hopefully it helps another person as I'm hopeful they update the website.

Yep, just like the surveys we get on retailers and businesses so those who respond and make comments are the ones the companies notice...

Re: Some hosts should calm down

Some vendors need to calm down too. And when they put a hyper host together with a hyper vendor, it’s a headache-in-the-making for me!

Re: Some hosts should calm down

that is the beauty of QVC.com....you don't have to watch the hysterics; sometimes I can't even make it through the video....
