Very Personal Blogs

gmkb · ‎07-29-2012

Compliments to QVC for pretty much eliminating the very personal blogs of the hosts.

Those blogs about the private lives of the hosts led, in my opinion to a lot of criticism of certain hosts. Now the blogs are more benign relating vendor info about their products, recipes, and upcoming shows. These topics do not bring criticism.

My own opinion is that I do not need to know or want to know about their personal life. I read all the blogs and have to say the current blogs make more sense for all concerned.

I want the hosts to be pleasant, calm, mature, dress neatly, have good information about the products, & enhance the vendor who might not be savvy before the camera. So I thank you QVC for stopping those personal blogs.

@gmkb. I agree 100%. I think they are starting to realize everything isn't all sunshine and roses with posters on the hosts blogs and Facebook.

I enjoyed reading the blogs before, now I have no interest in them. They rarely seen to be updated. I do like when Jayne Brown shares a recipe.

The personal stuff was the only thing I read. It was very nice of Kerstin to share her adoption story for example.

@jaxs momand @mac116 I used to enjoy them to, much more so than the personal lives of the bloggers, that's for sure.

@gmkb how do you know QVC stopped them, as you say? Is that confirmed somewhere? I thought hosts could write whatever they want. Perhaps they post less personal things specifically here on the Forum.

The hosts still post plenty of personal information on Facebook and Instagram. So it cannot be that QVC has stopped them from sharing or "over sharing."

It could be, and I'm only guessing, that maybe TPTB, told the hosts not to post too much information here, as not everybody is on Facebook, or Instagram.

I'm sure they are nice people, but I'm not at all interested in their personal lives. Sharing too much just seems like a cheap sales tactic, and I'll bet they were encouraged by QVC to do it so they would be " relatable "

I read them once and a while. There are always going to be negative nellies twisting what the hosts post. I chose to ignore them. I liked Kirstens post about the new baby. I don't buy more because of a post though.

@Plaid Pants2 Perhaps, but the hosts are always trying to get more & more customers over to their FB page and their other social media sites.

There are lots more people who do access FB than come here. QVC has over 2 million people following their page. Each host has a great deal also. It may be that Forum users don't access FB, but there are far more FB followers than Forum users.
