We all know what Clearance means; Kerstin says it like it is.  May not be a polished way of putting it but who really cares; clearance means clear it out!

@Catch71   Obviously the viewers care.  We expect a little polish in the manners and language of the hosts.  Some are lacking.   These are supposed to be educated professionals, not clerks at Walmart.

Last evening l had on a Susan Graver show in the background, on Q2, with Kerstin hosting. I heard Kerstin say, when selling an item on clearance,"We need to get rid of these from the warehouse." Then she said that new Susan Graver items are coming in. I never heard of a host referring to a clearance item that way. If the Q wants to clear out items from inventory to make room for new arrivals, there are many more satisfactory ways of conveying that information to prospective buyers. SMH.

That's been a sales tactic for as long as I can remember. I've heard it on QVC, I've seen it online, and it's been in TV ads my entire life. Usually it's tied into how they're need to make room for new inventory works to your benefit because of the clearance price.

I can't even tell you the number of times I've seen end of year car ads that have said they're dropping prices because they need to make room for new inventory and "EVERYTHING MUST GO!"

Yes, and Shawn either abbreviates words or pronounces them in a strange way.   It is a relief to see MaryBeth or Jill who act professional.

I understand this. It's just the way she put it, though. Saying they want to "get rid of" it implies that it's cr@p that they couldn't sell.

Oh you are so right ...

I think Kerstin tries way too hard to be cutesy and clever.......it does not work. I can't watch her.

[Big Joanie]

Totally agree..

Kristen and Shawn are so much alike.  I watch Kristen and she has exactly the same hand motions as Shawn.

Kristen also walks and flips around like Shawn.  Shawn must have been her mentor.

I don't watch Kristen the whole time she is on.  Can't take it for multiple hours.  Got to turn the channel or walk away.

I rarely watch Shawn any more.

Yes, Kristen does flub up a lot with her language and descriptions.
