The Phone Calls

I know it's been said before, but I sure wish both channels would get rid of the phone calls. I'd much rather they show more products if they need to fill time. I usually switch channels and maybe check back later after I think the call is over. JMHO.

Yes. What I dislike most about them is that, while they are talking, they only show the host's face instead of what they're sellimg. Excuse me, but I'd rather get a better look at what I may be buying!

ShopLC does have a better way of getting live customer feedback. They have a tablet right there with the host(s) where viewers can send emails to them. They can choose to mention them on air, or not. If a viewer asks a question, they usually will respond live.

They're almost always cringe-worthy. I always change the channel or mute it.

ITA, and they can get loose the tablet too with the constant checking Facebook.

I enjoy the phone calls. I learn quite a bit from listening to how others use a product or suggestions they have. I don't find them cringe-worthy at all.

I particularly like it when someone calls in about a product that can be used several different ways, like hair or skin products. I have picked up some good points and have incorporated some of the suggestions in my routine.

I hope QVC continues with the calls. I believe it helps break up the routine of demonstrating a product, giving the price, and how many are left; all of which can get monotonous after a while, particularly on the TSVs when they are an hour-long show.

I can’t remember what show it was on but the hosts were asking people to post on Facebook what they’re favorite vegetable is. Who the heck cares. How boring.

When someone phones in, I immediately change the channel.

I hit mute as soon as a call is even hinted at. Bertha's bunion in bodunksville is of no interest.

I know this has been discussed to death, but, in my opnion, if they eliminate phone calls, then they might as well go to all pre-recorded programming, like infomercials.
