Re: Judith Ripka premiering on HSN in OCT

So far it's been all one way;  QVC to HSN.  I'd like to see to Beekman sell here too and Iman.

I know, right?  It will be like a proverbial Ground Hog's Day of TV shopping!

@stevieb: l can't see the sense in spreading out the same repetitive merchandise over 5 channels. Oversaturation to the max!

 

It doesn't take an MBA degree to figure out that consolidation might be the best business decision for the PTB at the parent company of the two networks.

Yes.  The question will be if the vendors from HSN are coming to QVC. Cute emoji!

Just saw this in their program guide.  If old news please disregard!


It looks like HSN let some of the really good vendors go to make way for vendors who are on QVC?   Wow.  I really liked Emma Skye and it looks like they are gone, Victoria Wieck, at least I can still order her pieces.  HSN had a lot of good Jewelry vendors and most are gone.

I like all of my Ripka Jewelry.  I still buy her stuff.  I am more selective now, but I still buy her jewelry.  I have had no issues with the jewelry turning etc.  All of it looks as good as the day I purchased.  Clearly QVC and HSN are merging.  Rick Domier always says that Judith Ripka is the most successful designer of all time on QVC.  I am sure Colleen Lopez will be the first person to work with her.


I agree.

Reminds me of how Starbucks would put two or three stores on the same block. In business this is called "cannibalization."
