Yet another part of the battery of selling tactics... these are becoming so blatent and so frequently used they really lose their power if you're a regular watcher. Maybe the real reason why they keep wanting to attract shiny new customers is that those customers haven't clued up to these tactics... yet!

You know, in German shopping television it is all the same.

I think it's pretty standard. But they rely on you not noticing they're doing it... and as we watch (and read this forum) we get wise to their wiles!

They should not underestimate people.

I do so hate being underestimated!!

I've already said I won't be watching tomorrow... and I don't buy any TSVs ahead of the launch. I want to see at least one presentation of any TSV I'm thinking of buying....

I therefore will miss being told to "jump to the phones", that the lines are busy so tap the app, or use q-cut. I will miss the truthful but contrived price comparison to the single item prices for the individual items also available on QVC. I will miss being told it's prestige or premium luxury british spa brand. I will miss being told that you could buy it for a woman or a man. I will miss being told that everything is suitable for all skin types. I will miss being told which celebrities are using it. I will miss being told which of the QVC presenters/production team can't live without this or that product. I will miss the adulatory texts, the tweets, the pictures of peoples' collections being shown on screen. I will miss being told what a highly desirable item the (in my opinion) hideous silver bag is. I will miss being told how many gifts I can split it up into, or alternatively how many I should get for the mother/mother-in-law/uncle tom cobley and all. I will miss being told how many orders Keeley's been asked to place for members of her family or friends.

No, actually, I won't miss any of it... any more than QVC will miss my money going into their coffers for this TSV.

And let's face it, in a few weeks it will be back on our screens at an introductory price anyway, so I really won't miss anything at all!!

I got the sample & tried it after my shower with skin nourishing shower
It smells quite strong to begin with but fades to a nice fragrance,
I hated the British botanicals & wish elemis would make the Christmas TSV s suitable for more people & put things like milk bath & sharp shower in them & not so overpowering fragrances.
I will get the sweet orchid TSV as I use PCMC & apricot toner every day although I probably only need the PCMC

They are already flogging this on QVC Beauty.

it was always schechuled to be but to be honest it should of been on the main channel in the saturday night gift show not on Q beauty

Its on the home page as the TSV now what happened to Bose.

Oh my god how ridiculous, just tuned in to the Kipling hour and they're wearing rosettes with Team Orchid on. Get a life, it's a bloody skin care TSV, not a sporting event.

 

[SUPERCOOLWILLOW]

im bored with it already & its not even fully launched on the main channel

You said it!

QVC do know how to take the fun out of things at the moment, don't they? They think it's so cool and hip to do this team nonsense. How old do they think their customers are? Just shows how utterly out of touch they are... aided and abetted by their adoring sycophants on social media. That gives them the illusion, and delusion, that they have their fingers on the pulse of their customer base.

They have got to shift the stock or the Elemis girls will be coming to get the remaining stock. It seems a bit superficial in the light of the latest world news. Maybe its me being miserable but I just don't get the hype.

I haven't seen it but are they quoting the 30ml price for the PCMC at £50? I do wish they wouldn't do that. You can't buy the 30ml anywhere other than QVC so its twisting things to say what its worth. They should price comparison it ml for ml with the 50ml.

Argh!
Launch is on mute. What on earth has Alison Young got around her neck???? Hideous thing on a chunky chain with a star and a ring below it. Switched off - much better :mysmilie_47:

31,000 sold already!

Apparently she went shopping at the Butler and Wilson store especially to buy something for today's launch. I think it was on Twitter with the photos of her trying different items of tat on! The piece she chose does not go with her midnight blue dress. l think she would look nice apart from that thing round her neck?it

I like Alison Young, but honestly, she needs to be kept away from making any clothing or jewellery decisions for herself - she always seems to make dreadful wardrobe choices. I think the rings she's designed for QVC are actually more to the credit of her hubby Simon.
