How did you discover QVC?

[ Edited ]

How did you first discover QVC and become a customer?  

 

I discovered the Q in 1996 when I was in the hospital for a week.  I started watching  and ended up getting hooked.

 

What's your story?

My Mom found QVC, and, told me about it. I still order, but not like I use to.

Re: How did you discover QVC?

In 1987, I was transferred to a new city.  While checking out the TV channels, I stumbled upon CVN.  This concept was new to me and I started watching.  Shortly thereafter they were bought by QVC.  I've watched off and on until about a year ago when the company changed the way they wanted the hosts to act and they got rid of Louis Del'Olio.  Now I only watch WEN shows.

I think in 88 or 89.  It was not long after they aired.  My mother told me about it.  She made her first purchase.  Some type of figurine and was happy with it.  I started watching. It took me year to purchase something.

I remember watching it when it first started, here and there.

I didn't buy anything until the Princess Beanie Baby appeared late one night. So I guess that was 97 or 98.


I continued to be an occasional viewer/shopper; usually buying jewelry on my aunt's recommendation.

Started working and the late nights stopped.

 

I started up again as a regular around 2010 or so. I stopped on ITKWD and stayed.

I was channel surfing in 2000 or 2001. I watched a for about a month before I bought my first item, which was a garnet bracelet. After that, mostly everything I bought was from QVC.

Re: How did you discover QVC?

I believe I started watching it pretty much from the beginning!  I was single and worked a lot of hours and sometimes I'd come home and was not ready to go to bed as I was still wired up and needed something to watch.  I had no premium channels - couldn't afford them!  I came across the Q by acccident and thought -- wow -- this is pretty cool!  Way back when, they would have the speciality shows with the sets to match the products and often were in costumes and, of course, the original hosts.  It was so enjoyable and so much fun!  The Q kept me company and amused for many hours!

My mom. Back in 1986 I was at my moms and she was watching the most unusual television station. They were selling stuff and my mom ACTUALLY bought something from TV.Smiley LOL 

 

Well, the first item I saw was a  Diamonique ring. Somehow I got hooked. It was on all day as I did my chores around the house. It was something I knew that wouldn't have inappropriate things on while my kids were in the room.

I guess around 1988 or so. My sister stumbled on it and told me about it, but it wasn't available on my cable. When it was I started watching. My first purchase was from Steve Colantuno.

Re: How did you discover QVC?

I was channel surfing one Sunday evening and caught Kathy Levine selling Diamonique and it became a Sunday ritual for me to watch her shows, I remember watching Judy Crowe and Jeff Hewson as well, although it took me awhile before I purchased anything.
