Re: What made you start watching QVC?

I started watching back when it was still CVN. I had just got cable TV and a shopping channel was new! inventive! exciting! ingenious!

I couldn't not watch.

It was a couple years before I finally ordered something -- an Italian silver necklace, that I still own and wear. I got hooked on Jill Bauer's Silver Style show on Sundays and bought more silver than I needed. Oh my!

I may be a little late to the party, but I started watching QVC back in 2013. I passed by the station just as Susan Graver was presenting two dresses to purchase that supposedly wouldn't wrinkle. This was February and I had a trip to Florida coming up in April, so I'd figure I'd give it a try. The dresses came in, I rolled them up, put them on a shelf until the week before my trip in April, and was amazed when I unrolled them that there wasn't one wrinkle on them. I've been a QVC customer ever since then, and I have quite a few (ok a lot!) of pieces of Liquid Knit in my closet. I personally have had such good luck with the clothing and jewelry that I've bought over the years. I've already done some Christmas shopping for this year! I love reading all of your comments!

to be honest I am a channel flipper and never was a loyal watcher. Maybe a minute or two here and there unless they were showing something I may have been interested in which was seldom. Over the years what I have seen has turned me off with the hard sell and deceit that I rarely purchase anything except for the few items I like that I can't get locally. The one thing I will always remember was when it was suggested that I purchase a $500. vacuum cleaner for each floor of my house. Well a cellar, the main floor and the second floor. I don't think so.

Some time back in the 1990's. My mom was watching it. She worked, but she put it on when she got home. Then she started recording shows. Slowly I started watching it. But I got distracted by all the 18K gold I saw on ShopNBC and hooked on it. Then I discovered the monthly 18K shows on QVC. And that was it! Didn't really start buying stuff (other then the gold) till about 2004. Somewhere around there. I have never ordered anything from HSN.

my cable went out, and when it came back on, it was between watching the weather channel and QVC I remember Lisa Robertson was presenting something Christmas in July-ish, and then the next show was fashion. I didn't know that the Q had fashion! From that show on, I was hooked!

In 1992 when my son was born I became a stay at home mom.When I was home alone with him I liked having the tv on in the background. One day I was flipping channels & found QVC. The rest is history.
