How do QVC choose who gets to test their new product ranges?

[cheetycat]

Now maybe this has been asked before but I wondered if anyone knew how they choose the people to test the new products. Often when there's a new beauty launch or a beauty TSV they have people phone in to the studio who have been sent out the products a few weeks before to test them and give an opinion. How do you become one of these chosen ones? :wonder:

Never, ever, send anything back and fawn over the phone! :hi: Sorry, haven't a clue. Someone will though.

I asked this a few weeks ago, possibly on the Babyliss TSV thread and someone kindly answered (sorry their name escapes me)

Someone on here said a few years back in London, QVC had reps out on the streets getting people to sign up!!!!!!!

Never seen it mentioned on FB or their website. Perhaps they pick people from the customer events they hold(which most of us never get invited to). I would say that is mostly likely, but again not everyone who goes will get invited.

Well they certainly don't like inyourfacers!

QVC have a customer panel, they get sent products from QVC for free to test. If you google 'QVC customer panel' it will bring up a link then a survey to fill in, at the end of the survey it says you will be contacted if you are successful and if you haven't heard anything within 4 weeks you have not been successful.
However, at the moment it won't let you fill in the survey, it says they have enough applicants.

As you can probably tell, I have looked into this, a customer rang in during a beauty show and they already had the TSV to test, so I thought hmmm I wouldn't mind testing a few products for free, I did the survey but didn't hear anything!

Debenhams Beauty Club on FB have a VIP thing, which they open each month for people to try new brands and products. You can only apply when the announce it is open. I tried once but was not picked. Will say QVC have enough names to do the new century.

I think they should recruit one or two from the collective here.

I would be a good choice to test the cleaning products. Would happily put the products through its paces but they would have to take both positive and negative feedback. Seems that the customers they send things out to never have anything bad to say, its always a glowing report, anyone else noticed this?

Good thinking LL. I am sure there would be a queue. I wouldn't say no.
