much better when the makeup is being applied in the QVC studio by the older cheek blown up models?
I can't imagine any of the before and after images of any model helps sell the product. I'm shocked at how often they look better in the before picture, no matter how hard Q try to make them look awful with sad faces, bad lighting, pre-show sad hair etc. Not just Tarte.much better when the makeup is being applied in the QVC studio by the older cheek blown up models?
Your post means....If it's still on qvc then it's selling. Ditto for Kim &co. You may not understand why but qvc is in this to make money so they must sell, and stay sold to keep coming back! It's not a popularity contest or a public service.
Remember when AY used to say she would not work with models who had had work donemuch better when the makeup is being applied in the QVC studio by the older cheek blown up models?
I'm thinking if the presentations were better quality they could sell more than they do. But their slap-dash efforts appear to be "good enough"...and they may want to improve their stock management before trying to improve their sales beyond what they get today.Your post means....
I do completely understand about retail.
Neither do I think there’s a popularity contest or public service.
Thanks

Yes, I'm sure they have a baseline "performance" expected, by time of day, type of product, and average viewership for the time of day.Simon Wilson, the infamous seller of costume jewelry, said it in a nutshell to Kabler (I'm paraphrasing) : "If you, as a presenter don't reach your quota of sales, you're fired, and if the brand doesn't catch on with the qvc customers, it's out the door." Hence, Ruth Langsford's sweaty desperation and the presenters' threatening, hard sell tactics. "Check out your baskets now, or someone else will grab what you want."
There have always been targets for staff in retailing, most supermarket checkout staff are expected to check through a certain amount of customers per hour.Simon Wilson, the infamous seller of costume jewelry, said it in a nutshell to Kabler (I'm paraphrasing) : "If you, as a presenter don't reach your quota of sales, you're fired, and if the brand doesn't catch on with the qvc customers, it's out the door."

That drives me mad too, and Superdrug is particularly bad "Do you have a beauty card?" No "would you like one" No....would you like to try one of our fragrances today they're normally blah but today they're....no...just serve me and let me go thank you!I hate upselling! Superdrug are the worse along with the Post Office. You try to buy a stamp, and it's board band, insurance etc. Superdrug have stuff at the counter, and they always ask if you want to buy whatever, No! I always feel like saying no I am not interested before they even start. But I just let they ramble about whatever perfume is on offer, body spray etc.
