TOO LONG OF A SPECIAL VALUE PRESENTATION

[ Edited ]

In all my years watching QVC I've never seen a presentation as long as their Saturday's Today Special Value--HALO BOLT JUMP STARTER AIR COMPRESSOR Woman Frustrated They must have an ENORMOUS stock that they want to get rid of to go on and on and on with a longer than usual TSV presentation.....It started at 6:00 AM I got bored and turned the channel, checked back in with QVC and on Leah's Show it continued with another way too lengthy presentation.......In this day and age of quick technology folks want information fast and furious and dont want to see slow and repetitive presentations like this...And it looks like they are even rerunning Justin's earlier presentation from 6 AM .Whst happened to Leah?????. YOU'RE BORING YOUR VIEWERS QVC...SHEESH!!! ..this time when the presentation appeared I didnt check back in with QVC, I found something else to watch..If you want to entice viewers to buy your products as Holiday gifts you need more variety in your programming/presentations instead of an infomercial!!! Woman Frustrated

  In my opinion .  All their presentations are too long if the Hosts have to fill the time with  nonsense .

Just do a  full cmplete demonstration and show us  viewers  how to  use, assemble , and clean items  such as  vacum cleaners,  new Flaus flosser,  Halo ect .

I love when HSN has their 5 in 5 segments.  Five products shown in five minutes.

 

You get enough info to make a decision if you are interested or not.  If you need to know more, you can go online and check further.  No time for needless chitchat or personal stories about family......or screaming or laughing.  Win, win.

 

I wish both stations did this at least once an hour.

I think an entire hour is too much for any TSV but the vacuum ones are the worst for me. Maybe it's the phone calls that make the Halo ones easier for me to tolerate although I know most people hate the phone calls. And honestly the only way I'd see the entire hour of anything is if I'm doing something else and it's just background noise.

QVC is no longer expecting viewers to watch entire TSV presentations.  Most of these kinds of products are TSVs on weekends or holidays when people may be watching sports or other programs and channel surfing during commercials.  That's why they're long.  Marketing 101.

There was a Duraflame hour yesterday with ONE Duraflame heater the entire show.  Not a TSV either.  It may have been a Big Deal but there are other Duraflames in inventory.

Don't need to listen to an hour about how to vacuum the floor and mouldings..Or see how far they can stretch a pair of pants!

 

During the summer..I think..I watched 10 minutes of Halo Bolt...decided my kids needed to have them...ordered them and didn't watch again..Hopefully my kids will never need them.

That's the truth! And it's sooooo boring! I'm not watching much lately. It's mostly hard goods....things I don't want.

As much as HALO is presented, I’m surprised if everyone don’t own one. I mean- how many HALO products does one person need.
