Q Talk

[Lisa now in AZ]

I think people seem to beleive that QVC management wants people to watch all day, so of course, it's repetitive programming. I don't think that many people do that, so it makes sense business-wise to show the same product many times throughout the day, so they can catch people just dropping by for a quick check. I persobnally hate when they show the TSVs that has nothing to do with food or cooking during the cooking shows with David. I usually turn the channel and forget to come back.

I do think that the presentations are far too long. Especially the TSV ones that last 25-30 minutes and are featured multiple times during the same 3- or 4-hour program. I know that since David seems to be a top seller, they throw everything in his kitchen shows, which is annoying. But, they must get some data that shows what is working. 

I also think that this is a dying breed of programming. The long-time viewers mostly don't like the silliness and singing and forced 'entertainment' exhibited by many of the hosts. This is not the demographic that will keep QVC afloat. The younger TikTok generation probably laughs at the fashions, electronics, and housewares featured. I am sure there are some younger viewers, but TV shopping still seems to be a big joke.

I was just thinking about the lack of variety in programming and products.  I started watching because of 50 in 50.  There were loads of interesting products.  Maybe it's the tariffs, since most of the products seem to be made in China.  We're hitting them with the highest tariffs.  They deserve it, but I'm hoping we start to buy from manufacturers elsewhere.

I have enjoyed all of my recent purchases from QVC.

A Rolling Bed , blankets , Geckos for outside wall decor , boots and a few  other things.

All the products have been exceptional .

I know that I can find items that appeal to me and serve my purpose.

The Q does repeat many items. How many new items are out there ?

So many people complain . Send a list of items you want to see and send it to the Q. Maybe you will see some results.

Yes! I couldn't agree more. The past few months I've noticed that he's not as focused, talks over the guests, gives misinformation, is extremely phony when tasting the food and looking into the wrong camera to boot. Maybe he's just tired, maybe he has something going on in his life. Don't we all. It's just very distracting and lately not so enjoyable to watch.
