I suspect the individual AD wreaths will be offered at some point broken up as I'm sure a number of people will cancel their ADs or return them.

 

I am hoping for some good As Is pricing on the returns.

When I see most of what Valerie is showing I am not interested. Have become very selective in what I buy. Made all my wreaths years ago. Change them up as needed. I treat myself to one thing a season. This year it was an old red pick up truck . Bought a tree to put in back. Love it! For Spring it will be a rabbit. Oh maybe a frog. Can’t see myself ever not wanting just one or two things.

I was watching Alberti present in the last full hour of VPH tonight, and half way through the show, I swear he said at that time, they had only sold about 22,000 TSV's.

 

That is so very underwhelming! I know it is January and they aren't going to sell 100,000 of something right now, but boy is that low.

@Mominohio...thank you for your kind words. I’ve so enjoyed when you share the personal stories behind your beautiful decorating style ... and how you blend beloved heirlooms with new treasures.

 

I definitely believe that decorating our homes provides us with the opportunity to honor traditions while creating new memories.

Maybe it’s because this style of wreath is readily available elsewhere.

I'm sure that was a big part of it!

 

And that spring style was really beautiful, but I think maybe not as neutral or updated (really all the choices) in style as a lot of people are probably looking for. 

 

I have to expect, with such low sales, the various ones might be available separately at some time this year.

@Mominohio I also wonder if it was just too early to expect folks to open their wallets again. We've not even received our Christmas bills and then on January 9, they begin the spring shows. I can't remember the timing in prior years, but this just felt early.

I was wondering about that also....but then I had another thought...what if the Q does this auto delivery program to insure less stock they are stuck with and having to reduce it/clearance?  THis way if you didn't sign up for auto delivery they already know how many of these wreaths to make.  No or very small amount lost to returns or as is/clearance?

 

I am thinking the summer (which I thought was kinda ugly) is only made based on AD orders placed.  Same with the other 2 for fall/winter which I thought were attractive.  I did think the Spring was beautiful too.  

 

Oh well only time will tell....I'll watch the as is area and see too!

I agree! I don't ever remember them doing spring anything this early in the year. 

 

I'm not complaining mind you (LOL), but I agree it was probably too early. Just look how many people are posting here about purging and being on a spending freeze. 

 

If it was considered a 'failure' by QVC that won't bode well for us to get more home decor shows and spring shows in January in the future, so in that aspect, I'm really sorry if it didn't go over as good as they were hoping. I really want more of that kind of programming rather than more shoes, clothes, beauty and fashion!

You could be very right. I thought the same thing too, that the upcoming offerings might be made after ordered. That would make sense, but sometimes the turn around time to get this stuff from China might mean that they are already done and in the warehouse too, as waiting would not allow enough time to get them made and shipped.

 

I really don't know which way this one goes! Both senarios are possible for sure.
