Some new shows for QVC

* A duvet cover hour. There are 236 listed if one searches "duvet cover." There are solids, patterns, stripes, all colors. Wow! While warehouses seem to be loaded, I've never seen even an hour devoted to them. How do they (realistically) think they will sell them? Why even carry them if none ever see the light of a broadcast?

* A kitchen show showcasing items of fewer than 15,000 and 5+ colors of whatever item shown, but instead a real variety featuring (more than 4-6) actual smaller items for the kitchen. No shoes, food, Temp-Tations, LocknLock, LeCreuset, ovens, mops/vacs/ ice machines or other larger kitchen aplliances. How about some nice microwave food covers and hot bowl holders, colorful pot holders, trivets, silicone jar scrapers/spreaders, whisks, turners,etc.? Even an upside down butter keeper, the kind you put cold water in and the butter is in the lid. Whoever is doing the kitchen show buying needs to rev it up--too much the same old, same old.

* For small kitchen tools, for "one hour only," have a buy one, 2nd ships free (for less or equal shipping cost, i.e. 2 for one $3.50 or $5.50).

* An outdoor "bird" hour, with feeders, including humingbird feeders, bird houses, hummingbird swings, various styles of bird baths, maybe some special bird seed mixes. There are even people (shoppers!) living in apts. and condos who may have a patio or balcony to where they would enjoy attracting birds.

Besides being a (happily retired) librarian who would plan events to get more poeple to visit our library, I also worked at a car dealership where I helped generate sales and service promotions. Then there was my first early education career in which I created themes for curricula to keep little minds engaged.

I have shopped for well over a decade here and believe QVC is languishing, where programmers/buyers have grown complacent and out of touch, not to say the powers at the top. They could, and should, do so much better to move products and revive interest. All this, of course, is only my not really humble opinion!

Several years ago we were asked by one of the members to list programming ideas of interest.

We came up with many. Haven't seen one.

However, that was when the previous CEO announced QVC was targeting Millennials. "Youth is where it's at." Their interest hasn't been captured either.

There are thousands of items online that are never presented on air. Why not??

QVC should just become an online retailer and perhaps their bottom line would improve.

@kaydee50 Agree!

They used to have quilt shows which I enjoyed. Also, instead of gourmet holiday, how about holiday table decor? I know the answer - I'm in the older demographic they aren't aiming to please.

What about the ADULT THING on the first Friday of every month with Colleen - HSN ? I only saw it once but they talked about and sold everything that they received from a high end

adult store.....

Remember when Judy used to sell cars in the middle of the night ?

@laluzdelmundo You have some creative, as well as good, new ideas.

I would like to see many of them implemented.

If they are languishing and overhead is eating them alive I don't understand why they don't consider merging QVC and HSN and bring them into one cohesive unit combining the inventory and overhead into one unit. Surely that would help the inventory issue. There may be legal issues of which I have no idea, unions, contracts.....
