Personally, my interest in Lisa and her 'new adventure' has waned considerably. I liked her on QVC so I was curious to see where she'd go and what she'd do when she left. I now know and am not particularly interested. I am not a member of her tribe and rarely visit her FB page anymore, now that it's focus is sell-sell-sell. I might have been interested in seeing her Christmas decor but even that took a back seat to marketing, as is her right.
As for posts about Lisa here, I don't have a problem with them, given that we all elect the threads we visit. If we don't want to be subjected to them, we need not be. If we derive some sort of entertainment value out of visiting them and commenting, either positively or negatively, have at it... Moreover, these boards are fraught with discussions of other hosts, hosts on other networks and 'personalities' of all types. They are also filled with discussions of non-QVC merchandise, so again, that Lisa and her 'company' command a presence here isn't a big deal for me...
I don't think QVC is going to deep-six all Lisa threads because I believe she mentions some QVC vendors on her FB page and occasionally notes when they have a TSV or will be appearing... It's free advertising for them.
It would seem that Lisa's seemingly once thick skin has either eroded or that she's otherwise become somewhat snarky, perhaps even a bit arrogant, in her responses to apparent criticism. While this is something she might get away with where her tribe is concerned, if not kept in check, one would surmise it will ultimately turn off customers who aren't necessarily part of her fan base... She took a lot of heat while at QVC and clearly couldn't respond in anyway, so perhaps she now feels it's her due. That's up to her, but customers want to be able to say what works for them and what doesn't and any retailer, including this one... and Lisa... really ought to listen to feedback that is more reasoned and less emotional.
@stevieb....I agree with your post.
I am a member of Lisa's tribe, though not obsessed nor do I visit her FB or shopping site but maybe once a week.
I have purchased a couple of her Christmas items and enjoyed them so much this past holiday season. I have not ordered any jewelry because I have too much now and do not need anymore for anywhere, not even the Q or HSN. That said, I do think Lisa's prices are much more than I am willing to pay, but that is what "shopping around" is for, no matter if on-line or in B&M stores. I do not like the fact there is no
"reviews" listed on her shopping site. I understand that there are comments on her FB page, mostly pro, but I like to read reviews. I guess maybe the reason she doesn't have a review section is that once an item sells out, it very rarely is re-ordered.
But, I like Lisa, I wish her well as any other business person and I hope she continues to succeed. Right now, I think she is, but one has to keep at it and hope customers are satisfied.
In regards to that photo, yes, it was not one of her most flattering ones. I also noticed what a few others posters stated about her back teeth.....I think she should watch smiling so broadly because it does show missing teeth in the back and only gum. I was surprised at this, even though Lisa is very pretty, she always seemed to delight in her teeth when presenting whitening toothpaste on the Q. I had no idea she was missing teeth, oh well....we all can not be perfect. I do have mine in the back, minus my wisdom teeth, lol.
I did not see the particular comment on her FB page, only reading it here, but I don't think it is that rude. She just stated that it was an "interesting choice of contribution"? ...nothing rude about that. There have been some awful posts there, just as here, and I think it reflects more on the poster than Lisa herself. JMO and you are entitled to yours.
