Re: Over the top super hyped excited sales hosts

While they may be attempting to cater to younger viewers, I wonder how many younger viewers actually watch any of the shopping channels?

I agree with you the younger viewer does not fit the demographic. Unfortunately a lot of viewers love when the host goes on and on about their family. They actually think they know the host,and many times defend them here on the boards as if they have a personal stake involved. This is definitely a very deliberate strategy on QVC's part to increase sales. You get comfortable with the host, trust them and that translates to $$. 

 

The problem is many of the hosts go overboard, and don't know how to turn it down. They are not celebrities they are sales people that happen to be on TV. Bottom line you don't know the host you should not trust the host remember they are there to sell period.
