30-45 minute tsv presentations are getting ridiculous, especially when you are doing more than one in a 2+hr show

I agree...and the hour TSV presentations during the day are too much also............can't believe they don't realize the audience gets bored...changes the channel and might forget to come back and see other products presented......

years back they had quicker presentations...and didn't spend all that time on the TSV's............and that is when they were fairly new and flourishing....now one long infomercial these days...

My suggestion is, if you are going to have these infomercial type presentations, show more detail. For instance, if a product needs assembly, give me an idea of how extensive the assembly is. It would let one know if it will work for the individual, and save on returns. If you are going to spend all of that time on one subject, do less oohing and aahing and  do more demonstrating.

i agree they go over the same thing about 50 times? and how many people really need a air fryer not me? every channel has one hsn and shop nbc both had one as a ts one time this week.. people do not want the same ts over and over again. find a new product a different one people will need and want. we will be seeing vitamix kitchen aide and dyson about three or four times before chirstmas on this qvc, I own a vitamix and I could not live without best kitchen tool i ever bought. did not buy it here.

It's CRA-CRA for sure.  There's not that much to know about some of the products they spend a whole hour on - like chocolates.  Really?  It's getting ridiculous.  I'm glad others feel the way I do.

32,000 of the airfryers have sold, so somebody is watching.

I agree they are are a bit much - WAAYYY too much! How many ways can one find to say the same thing .... 

I purposely sat there watching Albany and the presentation - I was like pleeaaase just shut up and move on to something else... total overkill!  I just turned the video off and said to myself they really must think people are idiots or something, repeating and repeating for what?, to drill it into our brains a hundred times?!?!

You do not have to watch every single presentation nor do you have to watch QVC all day.  Surely, you have something productive you could be doing.

 

While people here refuse to accept it, QVC does not schedule its programming to revolve around you.  Millios of people wath across multiple time zones, most tuning in sporadically throughout the day.  As a result, in order to gain maximum sales and revenue, QVC focuses its programming to reach the widest possible audience.

 

While I am sure QVC hates to see a handful of peole ont its boards (who represnt a minority of its customers) bored with its programming, the fact that tens of thousands of TSVs have already sold more than outweigh the griping.

 

The moment you realize QVC is a retailer which exists to make money and is not our friend or family whose primary goal is to entertain us or alleviate our boredome, you will be much happier.
