Re: What is QVC To Do

[ Edited ]

I don't know what they are doing, LOL.   I just watch when there is something I like on which is generally fashion or jewelry.  I always scan the program guide and that dictates whether the tv is on or off that day.  Sometimes I do have it on in the background but I'm not watching or I just will pop in here and there........today it's football so I'll do my domestic duties this morning, cut and chop for dinner later and chat with my sister for a bit.  After that it's me and DH in the La Z Boy's with the big screen tv!!!

 

All in all whatever they are trying to accomplish, it doesn't bother me at all, I do agree that it has changed a lot though and I also like to switch over to HSN often.

I always say it is what it is.  They are into selling and we are into buying.  They do have to try and keep things rolling but also my choice to join in all the hipe or not.

 

Some love it and some don't.  

Some days I am into it and some days need to get away from it all.

I like the Age of Possibilities shows as well as the 50+ shows. I'm probably in the minority, but to me it's enough to keep me interested. I get bored with vacuums, Vitamix, computers, anything cooking or foods and electronics.

I guarantee if we all stopped watching and in one year popped in to check it out again,

it would be a different scheme to lure sales.

It's the nature of the beast / business.

@QVCkitty1   It is a store to me. I do not watch for entertainment. I shop online for things I need/want and watch the recorded video about those things. I watch live presentations for items I'm interested in but I don't sit and watch to be entertained. If I am not interested in buying something, I don't click on the item at all. They might want us to think of them that way but it is all sales.

I watch so much less than I used to. The obnoxious, Annoying hosts being a major reason why. There are only 3 hosts that I will watch. Same ole, same ole vendors being another reason. I don’t watch a shopping channel to be entertained. The powers that be idea of entertainment is so, so different than mine. Crude and crass host behavior is Not entertaining. They should just stop with this nonsense of a marketing ploy. It isn’t working for me.

I like watching the presentations with the 'mute' button on.

It's been years since I've watched an entire show. Too much chatter about everything but the product being sold. 

I prefer to look at the items online.

I am just so thankful I had many years of really enjoying QVC while purchashing so many items and spending so much money.  It was enjoyment because yes the hosts did laugh and had fun during the demonstrations but they were never annoying.  The items were so varied and of good quality. Today I watch very rarely and usually keep it on mute. The world has changed and QVC has changed along with it. I wish the company well but it must be hard trying to stay on top of their game.

I really don't watch QVC. I shop on line and do a lot of research. I started with QVC in 1987 and my purchases have dropped. But shopping on line and if QVC has the best price will make the purchase. Now retired and don't need a lot of clothes but while working did purchase a lot of Susan Graver.Things change. But I wish the best for QVC.
