I can't rember who as it was on in background and not a show I was interested in but the presenter when through the whole "i so want this, I should have ordered" etc etc. then she ordered it on air and to make it even worse she then decided it was such good value (possibly OTO) that she went on to order it all over again.
That really should be stopped.
CH has ordered goods on a few occasions, while presenting, although I don't know if she was guilty of ordering something twice.
I don't watch QVC very much nowadays and that's partly due to the handful of presenters that grate on me (because of their presenting style,) but also because of the introduction of the use of the Ipads on air and the fact that many of them use them inappropriately (in my opinion) ... i.e. for reading out banal witterings from viewers who have nothing better to do than fawn all over the presenters, or for ordering goods they didn't bother ordering when they supposedly looked at/researched the products before they started the show.
Believe me ........ it takes a lot to get me riled/irritated, but I was brought up to be polite and, in my opinion, looking down at an iPad for much of the time while a guest is talking is anything
but good manners. There are a few presenters who seem to be welded to and fixated by their iPad. Would it be detrimental to their health if they actually put it down? Highly doubtful.
I did actually write to the CEO, when the use of them was non-stop, and they got in contact within a couple of hours. I was told that it would be raised at a forthcoming meeting. Things did improve for a while (with the exception of one presenter who still hung on to hers) but gradually the 'problem' is returning.
I can feel another email coming on. :wink:
