@Johnnyeager . Social Media? The QVC viewers are probably on the older side of 50 than not. They are also not addicted to social media. No one in my family or friends on the younger side has even heard of shopping channels on tv or would buy any of the products they show.
Doesn’t matter how many young hosts they bring in, they will not attract new younger viewers, so just keep the old ones.
How many posters on these forums do,you see that say ‘I don’t do Facebook’? Social Media, really?

@proudlyfromNJ - I thought @Johnnyeager was being sarcastic and joking. If not, I certainly don't agree that the 50 + crowd needs to be shown the door.

IDEA: When interviewing potentials, you might close your eyes and just listen.
If the voice sounds calm and pleasant, this person will be a candidate.
Then, make them laugh.
If it sounds like a donkey hee-hawing, this candidate is a no.
You are so right! A pleasant voice and a calmness is so important.

I totally agree. It is so awkward and a waste of time. Plus if the same vendor comes back with three items, they have to kiss each time. Also, the vendors have names which aren't "sweetie", "angel", etc. (Yes, Angel is a vendor for QF, but that isn't what I meant.) I think most professional people, would prefer to be called by their name. Why don't they just say "We welcome back Linda Jones with XXX product." No need to kiss each time, or hug, or hip bump.

@Its Me LuLuBelle2 Yes, Lisa Mason was a great host. Another one was Judy Crowell. Neither of them acted loud, silly, etc. and both had a calmness and very pleasant voices.

Also, when there is a host, vendor and models we do not need the "inside jokes", but we do need pertinent information about the products. Length, chest measurement, regular fit or go up a size, can go in washer and dryer, etc.

Poise, confidence, knowledge of the product, pleasant speaking voice, professional demeanor and attire.
