Why is there so many gourmet shows? Too too many food shows, & too over priced

Because the gourmet food shows are one of their most profitable endeavors.   There are people like me that like them and order products all the time.

Even when things are overpriced, people buy from the food shows for one simple reason ... the convenience factor.  It comes to your door, so it's a nice gift for many to give to others with little effort involved. 

 

For many, convenience is everything these days.

@QVCaddict101   Because there are people like me who think there are too many shows in other categories.  You obviously know what is overpriced for you.  I do for myself.  

 

I could name 3 very popular categories that I avoid buying or even watching.  Maybe QVC should also stop giving so many hours to my choices, too.

 

Of course, at some point they'd be out of business!

I enjoy the food shows. Some of the other show are very boring and uninteresting to me. I don't watch them. That's what QVC does, sell different things to different people. It's not all about one persons likes or dislikes.

Too many? Why would that bother you? I do not understand why a genre of shows frequency bothers people just because they dont need it. There are tons of fashion on but i never think " too many" just because im not interesred. The channel programs is up to the channel not me. Are you saying QVC is the only channel you can watch?

 

What i watch on tv is up to me.

We are approaching the precipice of the holiday season.  Food is where the money is.  They're not going to sell much outdoor furniture, gardening tools or swimwear this time of year.  'Tis the season. 

 

I used to often buy food from QVC and liked almost everything.  Since retirement, I rarely do that anymore.

Highly profitable programming. 

 

Strong and growing sales with high margins. 

 

Hope this answers the question.
