ShopHQ (Evine) in Trouble
Dimitri James (Skinn Cosmetics) and the Beekman guys left just in time. Following is a snippet of an article that appeared in today’s Star Tribune in Minnesota (ShopHQ hdqtrs): “But the company remains in the grip of a difficult turnaround, as Peterman and Invicta’s Eyal Lalo try to return it to profitability. The retailer is in third place behind QVC and HSN in the home shopping market, and reported a worse-than-expected loss of $21 million, or 31 cents a share, in the first quarter.”

Shophq is getting worse all they show all the time is invicta watches skin care and fashions to where im totally sick of them. They neeed to have more of electronis and kitchen and outdoor stuf a big variey mostly electronics like hsn. I have 1 more flex payment to go and i think im done with shop hq. It is sickingto have all the time invicta watches whic r cheaply made and thats the reason they sell them so cheap. I owned some had to get rid of them at a big loss. Shophq get your head on straight . Start selling more variety such as electronics. They should change the name ro freaking invicta watch instead of shophq

Love Chuck and others but the
exit of Demitry and Beekman projects
jets have made a big difference. -
I also called Evine the “watch channel”
I’ve written and complained twice. I refuse to even check their schedule any longer because I know it’s going to say,
“INVICTA”. I can’t believe they are profitable any more.-
Invicta gave ShopHQ/Evine 6 million dollars this year. Do you really think they’re going to get rid of the Invicta watches? Research it.

What good is it going to do if it sinks that shopping channel——maybe a tax write off? Hasn’t improved ranking

Evine is known as the watch channel. Get rid of the watches—-how many times a day can you watch Invicta

Evine is in trouble!!! My opinion…
There GREAT FOR JEWELRY….LOVE LOVE LOVE MICHAEL VALATUTTI
AND CHUCK CLEMENCY……the clothes are not fashionable BUT LESS EXPENSIVE THAN QVC AND HSN!!!
QVC HAS BECOME VERY EXPENSIVE IN THE PAST YEAR. Purchasing less-
Michael Valatitti(?) jewelry made in Canada and it’s a pain to have to get to
Post Office make out Declarations if you have to send anything back. Has happened twice to me and will not buy from him again. -
I love ShopHQ/Evine. They have the most gorgeous jewelry…Chuck Clemency, Dallas Prince, Victoria Wieck to name a few. You can also find some higher end designers such as Marc Bouwer. I have never had trouble with their customer service. With what I spend, I would think I could keep the network afloat.

I still buy from HSN, but I must say the S&H charges are a bit much. I have the same issue with ShopHQ. QVC’ s costs are a little more reasonable.
I will say, ShopHQ’s C/S reps need
to be retrained. Rather rude.
Wonder if Waterford will stay with
them. -
So, what do you call HSN, getting rid od Show Hosts and Vendors? They may be number 2 but losing LOTS of customers because of bad business practices. QVC isn’t in the clear either. With the advent of Amazon and other on line etailers, tv shopping may be a thing of the past.

I was thinking the same today. Most of the products can be bought elsewhere and the shipping takes too long, and most companies will have free shipping over a certain amount, or on special days, Amazon is free 2 day and now 1 day shipping (where I live because we have a warehouse here now) and I am a prime customer and I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon. I really do believe home shopping networks will be a thing of the past.

I still like to see the demonstrations or how a certain item fits the models. You don’t have that with amazon. I’m also a prime member.
