Maybe they are leaving the choice up to the vendor.

Its 2022 and technology serves us well. There is absolutely no reason for a vendor to spend $$$$ and hours traveling. Flights are constantly delayed and Covid is alive and well.Vendors do just fine from home.

I think they're trying to save money. It looks like off site is here to stay. Does HSN have vendors in the studio now!? I prefer in studio myself but I don't watch enough for it to matter too much.

@rms1954 That would be my guess. Some live some distance away and still may not want the potential Covid exposure or the big hassle of flying. They're busy people and the trip could easily take a minimum of 3 days. Time is money.

Last thing I want to see is more interacting and babbling between vendors and the host. Show me the product, give me the details, tell me the price. Then move on to the next item.

It's cheaper for QVC. They won't have to spend travel times and places for guests to stay. I thought even when the pandemic just started this would be a permanent change for QVC. I think I'm going to be right. A few are in the studio, but I think they might live near by (like I think.... Gary) Other places like Gem Shopping had guests sitting next to them barely after the vaccines started. I can't tell with the other channels as I don't watch HSN or JTV, I can't see even Susan Graver leaving the good life at that marina in Florida to schlep up to West Chester like she used to do. It's great for the designer too. They can work from home.

I think there is less of the so-called interacting and babbling when the vendor is in studio. The presentation seems more focused on the product.

Valerie presentations are best done in a large space like the studio where she can do demonstrations and showcase her items. Clothes I have no issues with remote in fact I prefer it.
