i like leah, but i don't watch am style, nor much else either. had to stop. got tired of all the peat and repeat. i suspect that it's done 'cause the item or line is selling well or they want to make a line more profitable.
when you stop seeing a line so much, either they can't get enough product to satisfy qvc demand or the product or line isn't selling. based on reading the tv guide, josie is more popular then philosophy at the moment.
yes, they have several other beauty brands, but they aren't aired. seems like it would make some sense to have a 3 hours beauty show, with just 2 or 3 products from each brand. that would give viewers a larger variety to order from. and if nothing else, it may not be as long and drawn out, if that makes sense.
it's a given that the tsv brand will be on in heavy rotation, and now, all night, to try and sell it out and not to have to come up with as many other items to air.
what can we say? it is what it is. i don't have enough time in a day to be so concerned about what they do or don't do. lower overall sales should be a hint. way fewer sellout should be another. but apparently not.
while i guess this is frustrating to those that spend hours with one of these channels on, perhaps it's time to just let them be and turn to one of the probably close to 100 channels that we are paying for.
as some say, 'it's their world, let 'em have at it'. i'm not saying to change the channel to be mean to anyone that reads my post. i'm saying it because that is one of the metrics that they go by to get an idea of the number of people that are watching. if that number continues to go down, it should be an indication to anyone that is 'woke', that the 4th airing of the same product in 6 hours or whatever, could be overkill, perhaps things will change.
while on air, they can see the number of viewers rise and fall, or at least the producer can. this is one of the things that the producer tells the host, in terms of 'do/say more of this' or 'stop doing/saying this'.
for example, let's just say that every friday for the next 4 to 6 months, viewership was down 40% or more between certain hours, like 8pm to midnight. how long do you think those products or shows will be on? not as much come the 7th month or whenever they figure it out. as viewership goes down, so do sales.
here's another example. remember the last my pilow tsv, many months ago? it was a disaster in my opinion, because the pillows were not filled like they should be. at first i thought it was my imagination, until i put the new pillow next to an existing my pillow. it was missing at least 20 percent of the fill. haven't seen it back since. it is rare that i return something, but i had no choice as that was a defective product. now that it's the holiday, i suspect there will be another tsv, but i will pass.
this is the same reason that some tv shows get moved to different time slot and/or day. while the show may have enough sponsors, enough people aren't watching. sponsors will pull out if 'viewership' stays low and thus the show is cancelled. no sponsor, no money, no show.
