How about some new kitchen merch

I was thinking the now your cooking day was laskluster, things used to be so more exciting. I think maybe you should look back at see how things were done years ago, the type of products you had. Think about bring people like the Deen brothers, Guy Fieri,Sunny Anderson, Jeff Mauro and other celeb chefs. get them to develop great products to bring on air. We need a rivaval of contertop appliances and gadgets, I think the customers would respond

First ... Welcome!   Woman Happy

 

Secondly ...  Back in the day, there were fewer online competitors, but now many can easily beat QVC's prices.

 

Thirdly .... With QVC on the verge of bankruptcy and restructuring, why would ANY celebrity chef want to get involved here at the moment?  

 

I certainly wouldn't.

Tara of Temptations kept saying how many of her items were new. I found her merchandise to be inferior quality.

Re: How about some new kitchen merch

I guess it depends on your perspective. There were actually dozens of new items presented throughout the Now You're Cooking Day event, including appliances and gadgets, but many were from brands that are on air quite a bit, so perhaps that didn't feel "new" to some people. I enjoyed the event and found a few new things I "had to have," so QVC continues to find success in reaching my wallet for kitchen sales.  Smiley Happy

 

FWIW, another thing that depends on your perspective is the presence of so-called celebrity chefs and TV personalities. For example, at least for me, all of the people mentioned in the OP are tolerable (rather than arrogant or unpleasant), but I wouldn't purposely tune in for any products they might bring to QVC. And that also happens to be true for most of the "famous people" who hawk their products on the channel.

 

It could be fun to have more vendor site visits or actual cooking segments or events that have a true theme with specifically curated products. But all of that seems a bit beyond what QVC appears to have in its plans lately.

Q needs new products for every line. They've been airing the same 20 products, or variations of, for years. Most of us could recite the presentations because they've aired so many times.
