I don't watch those 2 hosts --they drive me nuts but have to say--text-tomonials are hundreds times better than the call ins!!! I hate those!!! And yes--am surprised that didn't happen way before now.

I don’t care for the calls but maybe some of these people are lonely & if it gives them some happiness, I tolerate them. Many watch a lot of QVC & probably feel connected to the hosts.

I've heard them mention text testimonials a couple of times but not once did I hear them say they would "replace" the phone calls. Did you actually hear them say they were a replacement @Caaareful Shopper ?

 

In fact, as I am reading this forum and watching the Q, there is a phone in testimonial right now. 

 

At this point I don't see it as a replacement but an "addition" to the phone calls. They also read some reviews from online. Just another selling technique from what I am hearing.

@cjm61  Hello.  I said, "So not just phone calls into the shows anymore."

 

I mentioned not just phone calls, as in it's an added feature, not a replacement.  They'll be something I won't mind at all, as compared to the phone calls.

 

Just another selling technique indeed.

I'm in the minority.  I don't mind the phone calls at all.  Even the ones most regard as "cringeworthy".  Although I do sometimes feel for the hosts on a time limit if they get a caller that won't stop talking.

 

I don't mind them reading the texts or reviews either.

 

But just like the chit chat between hosts and/or vendors, I expect a full description of the product along with all that.

At least text reviews should eliminate tales of widowhood and surgical details and horrors.  They will give us the option of ignoring them.


Hilarious!! 😃😃😃😃

@Caaareful Shopper 🌸


I believe the reason is just what @Estellee posted.


It seems like people prefer texting rather than talking on the phone.


The Q was smart to add in this communication option.


And I really don’t mind the callers, no matter what they want to talk about.

I don't mind the callers either, some people just need to talk to someone.

I could not believe one of Kim's last callers. She must have gone thru five or six recent and close deaths. 

Strangely when people grieve, they turn to shopping.

@Caaareful Shopper    I saw it first time today.  I agree with you in the cringe call in testimonials.  I hope they deep six them all together
