I am not sure I agree with that evaluation because if you look at advertising going back many decades, it’s geared toward the lifestyle they think their customers will aspire to. That’s what marketing and advertising does. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have no problem with a company giving back to the community and I can make a decision whether I choose to support.

As for prices, qvc has never been the overall cheapest option.

Decades ago it was not uncommon to hear a host say to "shop responsibly"

I was just wandering around in Dillards a few weeks ago and this sales clerk who I guess was bored kept following me around suggesting things. She suggested I should carry a tote bag instead of a small crossbody, then she said I would look great in some kind of hooker sandals since I'm short instead of my sneakers. She just kept following me. After the shoe comment I just walked out. I guess she had a quota to meet but I certainly wasn't going to help here.

I see it as a take it or leave it attitude. If you don't buy it, someone else will. I suppose current lifestyles do take over but it isn't mine. Years ago I had item numbers written all over the place. I do miss affordable jewelry the most. And pleasant hosts.

You actually had a sales clerk follow you!  Good lord, I thought those went away a long time ago.  Be grateful someone is interested in your shopping needs.  All these stores that I shopped for in the past are only hiring cashiers so nobody is interested in me personally.  I have to many times hunt down a stock clerk to ask a question.  Thank Dillards for being old fashioned.

I don’t care for the personal care products or health advice by some hosts. I am also turned off by the over 50 campaign. Those of us over 50, did it with ease but I think the hosts over 50 have the issues with aging not the viewers.

@Sooner   QVC has never been a main source of clothing for me.  Image has nothing to do with my decision.  I just know that as long as I can find a few items locally that actually fit  both my body and my current life style, I will support local businesses or the workers in them.

I have enough wearable outfits for a long time.  In the past I might have donated them and bought new for myself.  Now I like figuring out new ways to pair the separates I have although I do keep a list of the specific items I could use. Absent those few items, I now come home from a shopping trip having spent nothing!

@Sooner.  I think your paranoia has kicked in, I don't see that at all.   QVC has always suggested that we could wear a garment to a barbecue, hay ride, apple picking,  or to the prom.  We simply ignore and wear it as we wish.  My lifestyle could use some oomph but I don't see it changing much.  Things in our modern times are always evolving, for better or worse.

Stores support certain charities which I also ignore and donate instead to the ones I prefer.  Don't tell me you feel obligated to give to one a store supports?

I know I will be buying less as prices rise because I don't support whats going on economically.  Many businesses tettering on the brink will go over the edge into bankruptcy.  Farmers will be hurt and may lose their farms or not be able to afford the equipment they need.  Rough times ahead.

@hopiYep. That's when I started watching. New baby times. 

I don't think the Q really stands for Quality OR Value much anymore like it once did. And the hosts...don't even get me started on their current (apparently corporately approved) lack of class and professionalism. Sigh.

@frenchieThe affordable REAL gold jewelry was the best! And it was sold by well-groomed hosts who carefully described it.
