Asking a question via twitter.

[louise66]

At launch, I tweeted a question about the use of scented t lights, in plenty of time to be answered, and Julia ignored it. In Charlie's hour this morning, I tweeted the same question again within a minute of the hour starting - how do I use scented t lights? - despite constantly pleading, tweet me and we'll answer any question for you, he ignored my tweet. I will NEVER tweet a question in to him again, and think twice about tweeting a question I want answered on air, or privately about an on air product. I did eventually get an answer, after tweeting QVC, and Steven. This is one situation, where I can say we need specialist guests. If the presenters are not going to answer questions, don't use twitter as a medium for so doing. I have tweeted Debs Flint queries about many things/topics, which are not even on air, and she has ALWAYS replied personally. Initially, I thought twitter was so useful; now, it is so annoying, I don't think I'll bother. I can understand now, why CB gets on so many people's nerves. Craig Rowe is the same, regarding twitter. Just ignores the tweets. If they want to attract/keep customers, then satisfaction is paramount. If a customer does not feel they and their business is valued, they will not patronise a company. That is my view, anyway. Brook is still going on about sending tweets in! Normally, if we sent one in, it would be in the expectation of receiving acknowledgement of said tweet...........?

Start tweets with how wonderful they look , how there your favourite presenter etc and then ask you question , your bound to get a reply then .....:mysmilie_59:

It is just another spin word they have been taught without actually follow up - just like any other claptrap they come out with.

I have actually heard them say to a phone caller that they should have a good Christmas "if I'm not speaking to you before that" how likely is it that they will ever speak to Doris from Bradford again. They just open the mouth and it all flows out on autopilot. Same as the red button CB went on about long after it was no longer available.

I find the whole Twitter/tweets thing intensely irritating, so the fewer that are read out or answered and consequently the fewer that are sent in, the better for me. I'm just old fashioned I suppose.

Ask why Julian Ballantyne and Debbie Greenwood were sacked!!

Well I don't like twitter either, but on Q what really annoys me is the way they pore over the iPad and read out stupid names and loads of messages, often twice. There is no filter! I think this is my age showing.... I would be quite happy though if they got a list of the questions and read them out and then LISTENED to the answer, so people like louise66 did get an answer.

When they used to have texts scrolling across the bottom of the screen they were too fast to read and mostly apologised about as the presenters didn't have time to read them, or JR didn't have her specs! If sales have diminished then they have time to read them now and pad time out a bit with diehard fan waffle, or actually answer viable product questions and jib off the annoying iPad. Although, honest presentations, quality goods, non cadging presenters, fair p&p and no verbal diarrhoea interruptions would be a way to go, big time. I may actually put the sound up then. But I'd need my forum friends to tell me to! :mysmilie_520:

As others have said twitter is just the same as the texts and studio calls - never anything of substance only a load do brown-noseing

Louise66 what was your query about tea lights, and what was their answer? There's usually an informed candle expert or two on here who'd probably offer advice long before QVC bother to answer.
