Sometimes I think presentations just go on too long. More items could be presented each day if presentations weren't so long.

ad nauseam presentations consisting of little useful
Yes agree presentaions could be more brief

I agree. Remember in the olden days when there were those shows w/the shorter presentations?.

It must be a real challenge to talk about that mundane TSV sweater for 30 to 60 minutes. I could say everything I thought I needed to say about it in 2 minutes or less, and they must do it repeatedly all day.

My personal opinion
I believe the longer presentations are on products that are NOT selling well.

I think the presentations are longer because they don't have a large variety of products to sell.

@Group 5 minus 1 I don't actually remember those days, but I think you could be right that presentations were short and more items were shown. If you're talking my first decade of QVC experience (the 1990's), before they added Internet late in 1996 the TV presentations were all there was. See it on, buy it if you want. Made sense to show more faster- but I think it led to plenty of impulse buying.
Companies are losing billions of dollars every year to returns but we'd have to have access to far more data to begin to know whether most returns were for defects or came from an impulse order or a multiple made with the intention to return whichecvr duplicate lost out to reality.

There is no show I can just sit and watch. Long drawn out presentations of few products. QVC is not entertainment to me and I dislike hard sells and frivolity. Screaming hosts are a turn off and I'm not muting and reading closed captions.
If I need something and think QVC may have it I will search the site and watch video if really interested. New vendors I will pull their products up. I also will look at things suggested by posters. I like innovative and positive changes but in MHO Q has regressed.

I think it's because they spend more time talking about everything else but the product.

They stay so long b/c they're pushing and pushing the sale, and they don't want to leave until the numbers tell them they've sold enough. That's why they keep telling you how many have been sold, how many are left, they're flying out the door, these won't last, there's not a lot to go around. All selling technique to keep pushing and pushing to sell.
