Q Talk

[Waterwoman]

Lately, everything offered is a one day only, or only good for this hour, or buy multiples at a riduclously high price

Why offer something that is going to run out in one hour.  So tiresome.

Also, why are all the hosts "Obsessed" 

Why do the hosts seem "Amped" up -sometimes just turn the channel -

You know the answers they are sales tactics.

Hosts are obsessed with what?  they are amped up because they are sales people.

Sounds like maybe another shopping venue would be a better choice for you.

Only solution  is  change channel,  or  put on mute or if you really want am item buy it because the prices on items change almost every day !

There really is a science to selling.  One aspect of it is to create an urgency to buy.  Hence, the one time onlys, the this day onlys, the TSV, etc.

What on earth is going on with people? The complaints on here day after day are so petty and stupid. For every valid criticism, I see 15 ridiculous ones.

Imaoldhippie!  You are so right - maybe I'm the only one who is tired of hearing how "Obsessed" Ms. Goldstein is with a certain color, top, ruffle,etc.  OR any other host that is "Obsessed" with a product - time for new word choices.

I guess you are right, I should find another venue - I am also an old hippie and getting cranky I guess

I've been watching QVC for as long as they have been selling stuff - I can remember hosts that could calmly present a product with calm & efficiency.  There are a few new hosts that appear to have had one too many cups of caffeine prior to their "sales tactics".

Thank you for your response.

Sorry you feel that way - my rant is the first one in over 40 years of watching QVC - I've seen many changes and just recently noticed the ones I mentioned.  It has  been very obvious in the last month.

I guess no one else noticed, so I'm very sorry if I offended.

[Waterwoman]

I understand sales tactics - lately the "urgency" to sell is becoming more & more pronounced.

I will stop posting these outrageous claims and read what others have to say & nod my head in agreement.

Enjoy all

I guess we have nothing better to do than express our disappoinment with a shopping channel that has changed (for the worse) over the years.

Shame on us - 

I didn't think I was complaining, I said it was a "rant" - just wondering if anyone else had noticed. 

Similar to the post about hosts interrupting vendors, or talking too much about their animals.....

Sigh......

Nothing wrong with ranting.

Odd how someone else's rants bother some posters.   I don't see how it's harming another poster.
