Happy Birthday QVC. :cake:
I am one of the original QVC members..who joined, in the days of the mis-matched wooden chairs, chipped edged QVC rulers, and dodgy graphics. Watched Paul Lavers in leotards, Jilly & JR in shoulderpads, and various USA miracle products (who could forget the transform metal into gold solution, and the microwave crisp maker - my 'crisps' set alight as they rotated on their tray - which melted)
So if like myself, you have been a QVC buyer since the start... what is your opinion as QVC grew, and 'blossomed' from a little baby, into now, the final year of being a rebellious teen?
Personally I think it is not as great as the good old days.:wonder:
My top 3 Gripes:
1. The respect for the customer.. considering it is US who have kept QVC on air for so long, QVC were quick to forget this, as they continue to make ££$$££ profit
2. The Diamonique -(a later thread to come) The quality of diamonique has gone from 'awesome' to 'acceptable' to todays effort, which is, at best, christmas cracker "oh! I've got a ring in mine!" gift
3. The integrity of the sales pitch -- virtually zero
I will praise - The ease of ordering today. I remember in the old days, if their ONE order line phone number was jammed because of a fantastic offer on air - it was jolly hard luck! A bargain of QVCs was A HUGE bargain in the 90s
oh & the endless 14ct gold tennis bracelets - hmm which one shall I have? Peridot, blue topaz, garnet, amethyst, citrine? I cant decide!
Over to you! :rock:
