Q has become stale

TSV's are repetative and stale.

Seems the Q is lacking innovative products and ideas for quite some time. I will check the website but can't say I watch the channel anymore.

QVC'S business model includes everything except creativity and imagination. That's why I rarely watch these days.

I wholeheartedly agree, cb.

The prices aren't too great either. Most times its only $10 or so lower than the reg price. The southern channel, on the other hand, pulls out all the stops on their TS and even prices it well. They put in a lot of effort on the homepage and into presentations. I swear the Q hosts seem as bored as we are when presenting.

I TOTALY AGREE. HAVE BEEN A Q MEMER SINCE THE BEGINNING IT HAS BECOME THE SAME OLD ITEMS HARDELY BUY ANYTHING ANYMORE THEY NEED TO UP THEIR GAME

I totally agree also.

I've been here since day 1.

The prices are through the roof now, and
honestly, even the cheapest stuff is always $19.99.
That seems the stock price for everything that's cheap!

I rarely buy anything any more and some of the
hosts prevent me from even watching, too irritating, too silly, and too animated. I just want the facts and figures. Not wanting to be entertained.
I don't mind a little light hearted fun, that's necessary, but not when it's the whole show.

I miss the old days when I was buying so many denim and company things. They were really so well made and I still wear them after all these years.
The prices are too high now.

That's how we roll in the shire..

I have to think that "the change" HAS TO BE financially driven.

I'm always shocked at how devolved the "walk in" store has become on the East Coast, presumably supplanted by online shopping. Therefore I don't really know where TV Shopping "fits" in the mainstream of money making.

One very obvious point is that if one is comparison shopping, some old standbys come up mercilessly short. I don't know whether the offerings on QVC have changed drastically or more gradually, but I DO know that years ago, I'd have my time to depart to work figured out to practically the last second, so I could see the TSV in its first morning presentation, (7:57, remember?), but lately? Definitely not so much enthusiasm.

I still shop QVC, but I also do online shopping elsewhere.

Maybe the whole process is cyclical? I dunno.

Totally agree with your first line, people are ordering goods here and only when the ordering declines will there be a change that we will notice on air. The CEO just go a nice paycheck, so things are rolling along and that is the point of any business.

For me, I do 99% of my shopping in person as I want to see what I am buying, but I live in one of the most dense shopping store/mall areas of the country.

The last thing I got was the Rinna TS and I was very happy with them

I watch the Q when I am home as background mainly

Posters keep telling me HSN is so great, but when I do surf in I seem to get voices I can't stand, bad camera work - can't remember the last time I got a close up of the fabric in a garment, and Tony LIttle is on more often than you all complain Susan Graver is on QVC - and he's just disgusts me (like any middle-aged+man in pony tails!!!) I'm sure there are more reasons I haven't spent one dollar there in the last dozen years.

Anyway - if you love HSN, go shop there. I look to QVC for its tried and true - I'm not in search of new and edgy - way past my time.

The other shopping issue for me - all this shiopping being available 24/7 just erases the newness any shopping might have had when shopping was a planned activity either for need or to add something new to the house or the wardrobe. Now, shopping for almost everything is like going for gasoline - just no big deal.

And it doesn't matter where. I live 2 minutes from a wonderful huge mall while I'm in Florida. This season my expenditures are about 95% less than they were three years back - I don't need so much, but also there's not much wonderful for me when I do look.
