Re: Why does QVC give Linea such Rotten hours?

I wish they'd put Linea on during prime time and order more inventory so that the size small & medium would be available when he's on. Other posters are commenting about June being WEN month. Why can't we have a Linea month? I'd settle for a Linea week or Linea weekend. Smiley Happy

Re: Why does QVC give Linea such Rotten hours?

The last one I can recall they put Linea on during a time frame that worked for both the East coast and West coasts was last fall. There was a 2-house show at (I think 9-11pm) hosted by Shawn and was a total sell out. Had to end early.

Why this is not done more often is probably due to the dollars per minute requirements of the Q. If you sell out of Linea and the total sold is 500 units, or if you sell out of Graver and the total is 1500 units, during the same 5-minute presentation, therein lies the answer.

Louis is probably on in the middle of the night to get rid of limited merchandise. Even Ripka, Joan Rivers are on in the middle of the night for clearance, low quantities and limited merchandise. Louis has already shown his spring summer line.

Maybe they are trying to protect him to assure that only the followers can order the whisper knit pants (and have them altered) and that unsuspecting folks won't order - and then return - when the click here measurements are significantly off.

Same with the jewelry that might arrive broken. The followers understand and will either live with broken beads or restring if necessary.

If Linea is not sold in land stores and QVC sells it in off-time slots, maybe Linea is going out of business.

Or, why doesn't the Linea line manufacture more clothing for everyone.

It's not going out of business!! It has to do with the budget they (the buyers) are handed from QVC that determines how much inventory is available.

Susan Graver and Denim & Co have more of the budget pie because of those lines being 'in house'.
