Q Talk

[Caaareful Shopper]

There are several new shows QVC seems to be rolling out lately.  Wednesdays have three relatively new shows associated with a specific host:

* Discover Diamonique Jewelry (hosted by Mary Beth Roe, upon her return)

* At Home With Jennifer [Coffey]

* Jane's [Treacy] Jewelry Favorites

 In name only?  Oh it would be nice if new products will be presented.

The point is, whatever show comes out will have Jane or Shawn attached to it. Correct me if I am wrong, but there is like 7 or 8 solo shows between them. Um, last time I checked there is more than 2 hosts listed under the hosts home page.

@Caaareful ShopperAs long as they don't go too far with it.   I think I've made more purchases during the first 4 months of 2016 than in any year since I was shopping way, way overboard about 5 years ago-  and every one of those purchases was from an "old" line -  Philosophy, Perricone, my first Ripka ever, and Dooney.  Not one item from anything relatively recent.

Then again, I shop that way almost everywhere -  I know which I like at Nordstrom (and which I actually want to pay for!) and that's the only part of their stores or online I browse.  And when I do head to the malls or strips, I rarely walk into stores I haven't already purchased from.

Retailers are alwayds in a juggling act -  how to keep those of us who already buy with them while enticing new buyers.  Not easy!

you got that right Zita ...  A little overload on all three of them ...  If there is one more Jane show I'll scream !!  She tries too hard to be young and cool ...  Everyone loves Alberti, but seldom see him !!  Shame ...

Shawn has had at least 8 shows with her name on it and  2 of them have been with the leading male sellers.  She has most lost all of them.

Since Lisa Robertson left Q seems to throw s*** against the wall and hope it will stick.  It looks like they follow her on facebook and tend to make sure they have  whatever she has going.  

Zullily maybe a priority now - they can sell the stuff that wont sell on Q's site at a cheaper rate and still keep the high prices at Q.

Owning the world is probably a part of Q's  reason, I also think outlet and those  who shop on the Internet before we commit to Q.  So many of us were such loyal Q customers we only bought from them for years because we trusted them.  Now with so many inferior products . excessive high pricing,  high shipping and returns costs many are shopping else where.

@Caaareful Shopper  Now that you mention it we do see an awful lot of these show host's but as long as they don't bounce around the room like the Monday night shows I can live with them. I get dizzy watching Amy and Shawn on Monday nights. Amy runs around the room like she is on fire and Shawn jumps from one chair to another back and forth. Amy, please honey slow down and take a breath and Shawn, please stay in one seat or stand.

I hadn't paid any attention to a change in lineup.  I watch less and less these days.  Most of the time, I check the website (when that's up) and if I want something I may order it that way.

There are some hosts that I simply can't be bothered watching, no matter what they are presenting, and the Monday lineup in particular, along with the stultifying weekend lineup that has caused me to not even bother checking to see what QVC might be presenting on live tv.
