Chloe's Mum

[sharon-s]

Blimey, Chloe's Mum is giving Jill Franks a run for her money with all the products she loves and uses

 

[shopperholic]

Not watching but yes I know what you mean, she says her mum incase she gets challenged on something and of course she wouldn't be able to answer because you can see she doesn't use it. She obviously likes Doris but doesn't wear her make up so using her mum heaps praise on her without having to get tripped up over anything, apparently her mum uses a lot of Mally make up too, Liz Earle, bareMinerals and uses Babyliss and love Beverley C to name a few. Even when I watched QVC, shouty Everton I just couldn't watch, ever, I don't like presenters who lie..........pretty much rules them all out then. :mysmilie_17:

Not sure it's such a good ploy for sales though as it implies the products are meant for older people only. I'm not keen on her presentation style all-round though, I find her far too "in your face" for my taste.

What gives me the giggles is that everything is the best ever, nothing else is even close - until the next hour and the next, similar product! I was watching a bit of meCharlie with l'Occitane last night, and he was raving about it, using exactly the same vocabulary he uses for other products! As you say, if you have anything of a memory (and people on here obviously have very good memories!) it just makes the presenters look like pr$ts. No one can possibly use every skincare product they flog, and certainly not on a regular basis, so to help them out they bring in Mum - sister - friend uses it, hoping it will add credibility. They just hope people won't remember what they've said in the past - unfortunately for them, most people on here DO remember!

It's as the old saying goes "you've got to have a good memory to be a good liar.......and hope that the same people don't hear you say the same things to different brands" Oh ok then, I added the last bit. :mysmilie_17:

I think most presenters are guilty of saying that they get such and such an item for their family member or themselves. The thing that gets my goat as it were is when they say that they have been given a test sample to try (so of course they can then 'gush over' how brilliant the item is), they don't therefore pay for the items (can hardly see them returning beauty items or even clothes), thus they get the freebies whilst us punters have to pay the full QVC price.

I know that JF states that every item she views is a 'can't wait to show you this item' or 'I love that item', she is in my opinion the worst as it just comes across as false, where as CH, does gush it somehow seems more genuine (if that is not a contradiction), but the 'prize' if you like has to go to Chloe's mum who must have something from every department, either she spoils her mum to the nth degree or she is fairly well-off

Perhaps it was Craig (as they ARE quite pally) who gave her the 'Mum' tip. He's always used his Mum or his Sister/niece to add credence to the products - that's after he's used up all the space in his "I live in a small flat" with Peony and Kelly Hoppen and Cooks Essentials !!!!

 

[cheetycat]

What's really funny is if you watch the Q Beauty Channel. Obviously you're just watching random clips of previously aired shows. If it is say a "best of beauty" or "beauty gift ideas" show for example rather than a show dedicated to one brand you can sometimes catch the presenters showing an item from a brand and saying that's what they always use and how good it is ...... and then in the very next clip see the same presenter showing an item from a completely different brand and saying exactly the same thing!!! :grin:

 

[Hippygirl]

I have more sympathy for the male presenters using mums, sisters, partners, female friends as many of QVC's products are more female orientated. Having said that I am surprised by how much skin care Craig says he uses.

 

[Brissles]

So am I ! he probably slithers in and out of bed (no, erase that thought, - I nearly said his Kelly Hoppen !). I know we live in a changed world since the days when our Dads just had a bottle of Old Spice in the bathroom, but I find it difficult viewing to hear a man proclaiming the virtues of skin care and hand cream. When my late chap had dry skin he'd slap on the E45 - job done.

I thought Chloe's mum WAS Jill Franks . . . .

Just turned over to hear Chloe claim her mum would want the Gossip watch/watches. I wonder if her mums like that down the dreaded high street! "I want that!!" "I want that!!" "I want that!!" "I want that!!".............I'm only joking, most of us know that Chloe's telling fibbies.

I don't watch enough, to have a valid opinion. I did hear her mention her mum this morning - is it a regular thing? If the presenters - they are NOT salespeople - have sales figures to attain, they will do anything to manipulate the situation, to their advantage. In all the years of QVC UK, I have never bought an item, merely because of what the presenter has said. I work hard, for my money, and am not parted from it easily. (mean!).

I'm assuming it's a regular thing seen as though every time I hop on over (very rarely watch now as I don't buy from QVC any more) but every time I hop over, in the thirty seconds I watch she mentions her at least once or twice so it must be a massive coincidence, I'm assuming people who watch longer than me are better informed, I'm just commenting on what I hear in my brief, even briefer when it's shouty, visit. I agree, I will part with my money elsewhere based purely on wether I like it or want an item or not, that's it.

In some respects, I can't blame her for citing her mum. Her mum is more comfortably within the QVC customer demographic than Chloe. And whether she has and uses stuff or not, I dare say Chloe has dragged her into Chiswick Park, or brought stuff home, so Chloe can draw on her mum's reaction to things. Chloe does however need to remember when it comes to establishing credibility less is more. The more a presenter claims to use something, to be unable to live without it etc the less credible it becomes.

E45 is still my moisturiser of choice, that and also Nivea, so I'm definitely a cheapskate! I got the habit of alternating using both from Mum, she had fantastic skin and I certainly find they work - and my Dad used to snaffle the E45 as well - your post reminded me, brissles. He did manual work, often in the cold, and his hands used to get very dry; just a dab of E45 and that was it for him, too.

This is where the credibility goes to the wall. You then question whether anything they tell you is true (think I might know the answer to that one.....).
