I'm fairly new to the blog and forums with QVC. However, I have been a customer since 1986. I rarely contribute to these forums but find it entertaining with some useful info. I have read so many comments how people no longer actually watch QVC, they go online or just don't shop due to the hosts, the items, whatever. Here's my thoughts................
Years ago they had a game. There was a machine similar to lotto ball machines. Every couple hours they would draw new numbers through the chute. They did this in a 4 number sequence. If your QVC number had the first 4 numbers, or the last 4 numbers, you could call and they would give your account $25. Not only myself, but my entire family, cousins, aunts, etc. would watch all the time. You didn't have to actually see the numbers come up, they would put the 4 numbers on the description screen every few minutes. We had each others numbers and would watch to see if any of our numbers matched. We all actually won at some point. It definitely kept us all watching, and of course, ended up buying much more.
Don't you think people would watch more if they could win something? I miss it and think it would actually generate more sales than it would cost them. It really made it kind of fun to watch the hosts pull the numbers. Anybody else remember those days? Thoughts?

Why don't you email QVC corporate? corporate@qvc.com programming@qvc.com
You're not going to get anywhere posting here.

I give you points for putting forward a helpful suggestion. Perhaps for some it would be a motivator.
I do have to say that for me that I would not increase my QVC viewing for a chance to win $25.00. The incentive would have to be much greater like an airline ticket to a great destination to get my attention.

I do remember those days well and there was lots of fun going on back then. I think it would be good for QVC to do some kind of "throw back" contest or event on air. Us old-timers would get it and appreciate it, anyway. Ha! And would you believe I still remember my QVC number by heart...it rolls right off my tongue no problem.

I have no interest in watching Q & giveaways won't change that, Q is just another website that I comparison shop. My shopping has changed...I buy what I need, occasionally treat myself to a want & I don't pay full price for anything.

I also give you credit for putting this out there but IMO, I think the shopping channels are slowly becoming somewhat a thing of the past. It's just doesn't seem nearly as popular as it once was. I've been a longtime customer too, both here and HSN. I'm even getting bored with it.

I personally would not watch more often for that, but if they lowered their prices and had free shipping i would partake more often.![]()

Make that another positive for your thinking and suggestion. More points and Kudos to you!

Sounds like a retro novel idea. I searched on the internet for retro QVC images 1986 and this came up:
QVC's First Broadcast 11/24/86 - YouTube
Maybe you remember this? It's worth thinking about.

Thoughts? No.....I'm past the point of watching shopping shows....quality & prices ..one went DOWN & the other went UP.
