I realize each product needs time to be presented but it is 8am and in eight hours QVC has presented 42 items...boring.  Can you imagine wandering a store for eight hours and looking at just 42 items?  My suggestion is to do double time and have one day a week where every show is fast paced and chocked full of products.

Good idea.   Even when they stay on a product a long period of time, they don't give the details, just bragging on how badly you need it.   They refer you to the website for more information.   So why not speed it up!

HSN is equally guilty of mis-spent time on products.  They were showing flashlights this morning and never once mentioned what kind of batteries it needed.  Just how much you need the flashlights, where you can use them, the colors, etc. etc.  More focus on the important details and less on what you can do with them.

From midnight to 8 am they presented only 42 items?  That's an average of only five per hour, or one every 12 minutes.  Sounds about right?

This is a fabulous idea.

 

Or even  single hour long shows spread throughout the day, that have this feature.

 

It could be used for items that are of limited quantity, or items that have been seen and presented over and over and over and over again.

 

Could be quite a challenge for hosts and vendors to stay on topic, talk about the important and relative features instead of droning on about their kid or their pets etc. 

 

Limit each presentation to a maximum of three minutes each, and get it done!

This is a fantastic idea. I like having a few hour long shows sprinkled throughout the day! Call the shows something like "QVC Quick Takes" and then hit the gas pedal and go!

 

JTV does something similar called "the 10 in ten".....ten products in ten minutes. You know now that I think about it I think I have seen that done on HSN before too....?

 

thanks OP for bring this up!
