Last week, I had an email from QVC saying I’d left something in my basket and to click the link to check out. The item the email said was in my basket was something I’d never seen before (Slatkin candles), never mind considered buying. When I opened the Q website and looked, there was nothing in my basket at all. Anyone else had an email like that? I assumed it was just another QVC messaging glitch. Their webkids had had too much sugar or something.
Today, I had another email. Once again, never looked at the item (a Liz Earle set) before, much less thought about buying! What are they playing at? Trying to suggest I had looked at these things (and forgotten!) or just draw my attention to something by a different method, in the hope of a sale? I find it very odd, especially as when I clicked on their “take me to checkout” link, there’s still nothing waiting to be checked out so it’s not even an effective way of prompting me to make an impulse purchase or anything.
