TSV presentations are WAY too long! - Page 2

Totally YES! They ARE way too long. The worst are presentations like My Pillow - for 20 minutes!?

Totally agree but then IMO all the presentations are too long. Evine seems to do the best with this. I've rarely seen a presentation there that lasts more than 10-15 minutes.

I was flipping around Tuesday and when Shawn came on with a 1 hour presentation of the Dyson hairdryer, I changed the channel and never went back. 1 hour on a hairdryer? Ridiculous.

Evine does do a better job with clothing and beauty for the most part but they can get too carried away with other household, cooking and home items.

JTV is the one channel that really moves along.

I agree and I also believe the manufacturers are moving out products that will eventually be discontinued in order to introduce new items. I've seen it happen. QVC will push 10s of thousands of 1 item that's the best, the greatest.

A couple of weeks later, it will turn up again but as a new version.

Years ago a TSV was special, now I never bother to look.

Except some jewelry. But electronics or kitchen appliances, nope.

Makes me wonder if some of these "on all the time for hours at a time several times a day" companies are buying air time. Maybe a QVC live daytime/early evening infomercial pays off better for them than a middle of the night recorded one.

I so agree @CritterKeeper.

I agree with most things but I do like longer presentations on things like computers, tablets, anything that consumers would have a lot of questions. I do like when they take questions while doing Facebook live. They get away from the bullet points and there are things that the vendor or host don’t think to ask. I learn quite a bit from them. But, I agree for like My Pillow, a lot of cosmetic stuff, clothing, etc. it’s just too much.

I agree with all. TSV presentations are too long and too often! I realize the Q is trying to reach everyone living everywhere. But the shows are so redundant, tedious and boring! And yes, I do use my remote...often.

I can understand if it's an item that needs a demo, like a beauty, haircare, appliance, electronics. But for pillows, clothing, jewerly and simiar items they don't need to devote half the show to it, especially if you're able to go online and watch. If it's a TSV I have no interest in and I'm home, I change the channel. They never used to devote so much time to it, I'm not sure why that's changed.
