       Vendors only !

 

Nicole Miller needs to  stay home & hire a Rep  who would  represent  her   clothes .

In almost all instances I prefer a representative only show.  There is almost always much  more detail and emphasis on the product. 

 

Many host solo on Q2 and do an excellent job.

 

Guests only, in my opinion is the future and the way to go.

 

But, as noted, not everyone is skilled enough (yet) to do so.

Re: If QVC wanted your opinion...what would you decide?

I think that would probably be the death knell for QVC if they dropped the hosts and just went to vendors. They built this brand around the hosts "coming into your home" to sell products and to get viewers to identify with the hosts. They used to say things like let us keep you company. And viewers got attached to their favorite hosts and would search the guide for when they were on. 

Based on the uproar over Dan and Carolyn being let go I think this is still going on. I don't think the TV viewing audience would go for just seeing a vendor. Most of the vendors mentioned here I have no idea who they are or way they sell.

Re: If QVC wanted your opinion...what would you decide?

I am not visual learner and I am not into presentations.  They move too slow and get boring.

 

I would rather see items in the inventory on the web and read about them.  Some items would do good with a short video where a model/ host/ vendor could show the product and explain it's features.  We could click and view if we wish.

 

Even if I see something I might want to order, I always read  about the product and also read the reviews.

 

I know what I prefer is coming in the future.  QVC is not doing well.  They cannot compete with Amazon and other retailers who only do business on line.

 

They are spending way too much money on the overhead needed for TV viewing, and less on actual shipping in a  timely manner.

 

They could offer items for less money and free shipping.  Even if you had to pay a flat annual fee for free shipping like Amazon, it would drum up business.

 

Shoppers want their items immediately.  They want their returns handled immediately and they do not want to pay a fortune for shipping.

 

QVC needs to catch up.  Their business practices are still in the dark ages.

 

Showing 4 to 5 products in an hour takes up too much tv time.  Many don't have the patience and time to watch that.

@San Antonio Gal   I truly hope someone in QVC management, or a seasoned host, can tutor Nicole Miller in her presentations.  

 

I think she's a great designer.  But I saw the one show with Pat yesterday, and I have yet to know what Nicole looks like.  She stood sideways looking at Pat and the clothes rack the entire hour, with her hair covering her profile.  I hope she's OK.  It was just oft-putting not to have the brand expert make contact with the viewer at all.  

 

 

I can't believe Pat left her by herself when she went to change.  She talked to Crystal as if they were having a conversation just between themselves and never looked at the camera.  It was strange @Caaareful Shopper .

 

She just needs guidance from the producers or someone.

One plus for me with one person presenting whether it be host or vendor/guest is no talking over each other.

Re: If QVC wanted your opinion...what would you decide?

For me I'd rather have just the host and no vendor!    I like seeing certain hosts do certain shows and feel they would be better on their own.   I do agree some of the vendors could become hosts but for the most part when I had Q2 (no longer have the channel) I did watch Angel at times with her Quacker show but that even became old very fast.

 

As far as Nicole Miller I haven't had the pleasure to watch her on live.  By the sound of it though she shouldn't possibly be on air, kind of like Jessica Simpson (HSN) who has to have mommy with her to do all the talking.......very odd and pathetic.

I would say it depends on the vendor.  Not all vendors are qualified to run a show by themselves.

 

Beth with Susan Graver is a great example of someone that could carry a show by herself.  Nicole Miller is an example of a vendor that could not carry a show by herself.

Her ombre maxi dress was beautiful!

Nicole Miller has had so many health problems.  It is amazing that she is still living.  She is an amazing person.

Hi! @San Antonio 🤗

I actually liked that Nicole was talking one on one with Crystal. And I’m sure it made Crystal’s day!!

Pat left to put on the satin like cargo pants that were a One Time Only deal. And I thought she looked GREAT in the complete outfit with the matching satin like bomber jacket!! I can see why Pat mostly wears black. The color is stunning on her! 🤗🤗🤗
