I was watching a PTR show yesterday morning and they were selling the set of 4 or 5 mask samples and it eventually sold out but the Host mentioned a situation where their personal dermatologist encouraged them to buy a product they were selling and the host said no way they were buying and noted how the provider kept insisting but they did not buy it.

Then the host started insisting QVC customers buy multiple PTR masks samples, 3,4,5 and give them as Christmas gifts etc. The host went on and on encouraging multiple purchases. I had to laugh just seeing how the host kept pushing sales. The item eventually sold out but I don't think it was during that show. So did you buy multiples because the host told you to? I know that's what they get paid to do but I didn't fall for it, I just laughed.

Have a great day everyone !

Only at the grocery store if it's on sale and something we use.

Of course not.  I don't know if I will really like it, so just buy one.

Good grief.   "Didn't fall for it?"     Seriously?

Don't people realize that QVC is  a SHOPPING CHANNEL ... and every host's job is TO SELL?

Some comments sound like they are watching a talk show and the hosts try to "trick" people into buying without realizing they are actually buying something.  

If you go into Nordstroms, Macys or any other retailer, the associates' jobs are TO SELL.  

We just had the CIJ thing, and now everything for Fall and Halloween are everywhere.   All the Christmas holidays gift buying has already started for some.  

KEY POINT:  if you don't want to be sold to, don't watch shopping channels!

JTV is the WORST at pushing "multiples"........"Buy 10 and your monthly  payment will only be $500"......

Same for me !

All the shopping channels encourage you to buy multiples, some people are gullible and just admire certain host so they are the ones that can convince an Eskimo to buy an AC....lol....not me🤣
