Going by all the sychophantic tweets and comments on social media and presenter blogs, it's obvious that there's a lot of "cranially challenged" people out there. Whilst they've got people who are daft enough to buy 100 sets of cozee home bedding and phone in and talk about it. They've got people who are daft enough to think "If it's good enough for Julia then it's good enough for me," and not worry that she hasn't had to pay a penny for it. They probably think she's earned it - it'll continue . It doesn't make sense to you or me, but they clearly recognise the stupidity, and dare I say vulnerability of many customers, and are exploiting it to the hilt.
There you have it, it says a lot about them. Shame on them.
If I remember correctly during the first Paris bombings they were very very very slow on the uptake rather they went into hard sell mode. In fact was it not only after customers gave them a hard time that they actually did anything. For once SM was useful as phones and QFB was overrun with complaints.
Maybe this question is redundant, but how do we know about the 'freebies?' Do the presenters ever discuss it ? Are they bribes ? Most of the women presenters wear Gok's plaid jacket, for example. Did he give them the jackets and ask them to wear them, hoping doting shoppers would buy them ? Certainly, the presenters are doing themselves a disservice by telling people about the freebies.
I don't want to beat this to its death, but why do the presenters get the freebies ? What is the reason that, for example, they would get a Kitchen Aid or a mirror and pay nothing for them ? The well known phrase. 'search for the money' comes in here somewhere, but how and why? Do the QVC bosses know about it ? Are they in on it too ? Trying/testing make up or skin cream makes sense, but the big bucks items you don't have to try, do you ?? Something stinks in the State of QVC. I wish I knew exactly what.
Queen Julia's blog on 20th November was entitled 'I think you'll find that's mine' & there was a photo of her cat in the TSV Centigrade coat. This is the first sentence:
Guess at least she's tried to make an effort! and if she's not been instructed to try and justify her freebies one could say that at least she's got a conscience. We'll never know. The cat looks great in the coat!
Merry your words - '...make an effort' & '..at least she's got a conscience' show that you're a much nicer person than me.
It's nearly Christmas, the season of perpetual hope, however, I'm going to be really mean & ask the following question. Does the mirror make her look slimmer?
I doubt it toI doubt very much boffy they’d give their staff £1000 Samsung TSVs, £500 Kitchenaids and £400 Dysons, £200 Le Crueset, amongst other expensive goods. away as freebies.
