Magic Radio

I heard an advert for QVC on a Magic Radio programme this morning. Never known them do that before.

Probably desperation.

Keep getting advert for the Joy of Shopping on You Tube with Sarah Farter. Anyone know what it’s about? Maybe it’s a replacement for Qurio?

I excitedly clicked this thread thinking they will be selling a "magic radio", a gadget I haven't got yet.

Not quite what it seemed

Thought someone might think that when I posted it!

Yes it was weirdly addictive reading the messages. Weird being the operative word.🤣
Might have a look later to see who QVCs Sarah Farter is on You Tube as haven’t seen the promo again.

I did mention a while back that QVC UK’s profits had taken a significant nose dive - £19 odd million to around £2 million 😕

I was doing an online quiz this morning and QVC was one of the questions. “What does the V in QVC stand for.”

Value.

Wow ! That's a lot.
Surprised with overheads - the rent in Chiswick alone plus the cartload of presenters salaries that they're still afloat!

Value.

Apparently so, but sometimes that’s debatable when you can buy things that have aired more cheaply elsewhere.

I got the question right though. 😉

It is a difficult one isn’t it! There are TSV’s on QVC which are terrific value - especially around Christmas. Then there is the other times when I have found things cheaper elsewhere.

I would be sad to see QVC go, but the overheads must be significant 😲

Read this, gives a big spreadsheet of the ins and outs.

They are still healthy.

Look on companies house, QVC UK made a profit after tax of £89 million for the year ended 2023 and they paid dividends of £81 million. There’s also a number of other QVC companies quoted, all making huge profits.

Probably from the extortionate postage and packing! Oh and Ruth Langford and Elemis.
