WOW TOO MUCH OF THE TSV

BalletBabe · ‎03-05-2011

I tuned in at least 10 times and the Amazon Fire is on all day. No wonder no one wants to watch anymore.

No surprise really. It's a TSV. That's the usual MO.

You are aware that not everyone watchest on your schedule, are you ot? QVC broadcosts to 100 million homes actoss multiple time zones. People are constantly tuning in to QVC sporadically throughout the day. As a result, QVC must put the items with high profit margin and the TSVs on frequently in order to reach the most people.

While I understand it can get boring if you are watching QVC throughout the day, the fact is that when they sell tens of thousands of the TSVs, they will continue to do it, and they will repeat the TSVs as long as they continue to make significant sales.

The thing to remember is that QVC is a retailer -- nothing more. Would you go into Macy's and complain that every time you go into the store, you walk right into women's clothing? Would you complain and tell management that they need to move things around to suit your needs because you are bored or tired of looking at it?

QVC exists to sell us things -- nothing more. It does not exist to entertain us or alleviate our boredome. Surely, ins 2016, we can find more productive and entertaining ways to spend our time than watching a shopping channel for hours on end.

@BalletBabe That's the way QVC rocks these days, and why the week-end viewership is dwindling while they wonder why sales are off. They do it with the TSV every week-end. This is my season of non-watching.

In past years the programming for the 8 weeks before Christmas has been filled with flashlight sets, lame toys, cleaning items, and basically the same 15 vendors with the same products shown over and over. Ugh. So I gave up on the live programming. Instead of a chicken in every pot, QVC's slogan is a flashlight in every sock.

A Vitamix in every kitchen, a My Pillow on every bed, a Shark Vacuum in every broom closet, a Dell in every home office, a Lazy Boy in every living room....you get the idea. For the holidays, we get an extra dose of the same stuff we've had all year.

No matter what their mission or why they do it, it's become overkill...

Understandably, they've always made a big deal of their TSV, but not like they've been doing for the past several years.

While I'm sure there are some who watch all day, most of us don't, but when we see the same thing every time we tune in, the impetus to keep on going is pretty strong. Were they offering more variety, some of us might actually stop and potentially shop.

Oh but @Kachina624, they add those wonderful stocking stuffers, cookies and Poo Pourri to the mix, you know, just for the holidays...
