I was looking at the guide and there are very few vendors selling their products. It’s the Same Ones..Nakery has been on so much in the last 2 weeks. There are not many Vendors and only a handful of the same hosts selling sometimes for 3 hrs at a time. Ugh.
Don’t care for most of the hosts with their insincerity, fakeness and high sell techniques. I had to laugh when I turned on and “Hard Sell Sarah” was on and she raised her voice when she went into her hard sell..😂 Hurry Up, Buy more than one, as she primp’s in the camera.
Someone had commented that she did that and I chuckled to see it in action. Needless to say, I don’t watched hardly anymore because of bad show hosts.I guess the blessing is saving ALOT of money..

HSN is the Nakery channel and QVC is the Kim Gravel channel.

  I love the comment regarding Nakery and Kim Gravel. Kim has to be one of the most annoying show hosts ever. The way she never shuts up and is constantly attempting to sing. I don’t watch QVC very much but every time I see Kim Gravel she looks like she has had more work done to her face. I like her sister much better. She is more natural and is not so obnoxious.

  I use Nakery but I’m tired of it being on all the time. Also, Liz has so many products. I am looking for a line where a few products get results. Any suggestions? I rarely ever returned items but I am going to start.

  You’re welcome! Yeah M Asam is great too! I really liked their serum foundation…. I agree that i spend sooo much money trying out so many different products! I usually always go back to the Perlier youth elixir serum, Nakery double retinol cream that was the special yesterday and Korres body butter! Love the body butter for my neck and chest! I can really tell a difference when I use it☺️

  Skinn or Dr Denese. There are a lot of products in all the lines, but you can choose the non-negotiables and be just fine with either line.

  Thanks, Sharon and hol. I use M. Asam and it works for my skin. I’ve tried just about everything. Some Nakery products I like and some haven’t worked for me. I feel like I am spending too much money so I need to decide what few products work and stick with those.

I guess I meant to say companies, like Curtis Stone, Beekman, Lancome, etc. At one time HSN had so many people selling different products and now it is getting less and less, hence the change. Actually been changing for a long time.
I’ve been watching for over 20+ years and they say change is good, but not in this case. Miss the Old HSN!!!

  I think most of us do. But people have been complaining for awhile that it’s the same products over and over. Possibly, they might take this move as an opportunity to go out and find new products and lines to sell.

Be careful! You just summoned the Sarah and Emily fan clubs!

But a lot (read most) of the vendors live in the St Pete area. Only a few, Julie Truster, Lori Leland, Lou Caputo, etc fly-in to do shows. Terri Toner is testing the waters to see if it’s financially feasible for her to fly in to do shows for Earth Brite and Nellie’s. Deb Byer is not doing the fly-in, which is why Improvements has a new rep. Jeni Bond moved to West Chester. Rebekah Wood is training to be a host so she’s no longer repping products on the vendor side. I know there are others. Some, like Doris Dalton and the lady from Korres, actually live near the PA studio. So, short answer, logistically and financially, it may or may not be feasible for them, since they have to pay for their airfare and lodging.
