I miss Joy! I didn’t know or think Iman was leaving. That would be a huge mistake on Qvc/Hsn! If you get rid of your unique exclusive one of a kind vendors what do you have… nothing! I don’t want to see crossover vendors from qvc to hsn and back. No! HSN is special! Don’t mess it up! I mean how boring! When you mix the two you cancel out the fun of shopping at one place over another. And by the way, I noticed that Marilyn Miglin’s 26 year anniversary was just shoved under a rug. No fanfare, no excitement. Why!? She deserves better!
I think these hosts leaving are just a tip of the “iceberg.” As I said above, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if they move everyone to Pa so that they can merge into one shopping channel. At one time these owners purchased HSN. However, later on, they brought in QVC as a high quality shopping network. All the energy went into building this new company leaving HSN to fend for itself. Yes, these are the same owners, just under a different company name. They bought HSN because they wanted to go against Amazon and Wal-Mart. So far, in all honesty, I have not seen the necessary changes. Shipping costs have almost doubled. Clearance prices in some cases have gone down a few cents. Vendors we have enjoyed are now with other shopping channels. The list goes on and on. There were other ideas that brought us to HSN. Coupon savings was one of them and lower shipping costs on shoes was another. There were vendors that made us laugh and vendors who were honest and stood behind their products. Now, we are back to another beginning where HSN is beginning to look like a basement store and QVC is still your Lord & Taylor. or Neiman Marcus. Many HSN customers have left and others are purchasing less. All the hoopla we say here seems to go in one ear and out the other. There are times when I wish Barry Diller would buy back HSN and bring it to life once again. Then again, why did he let it go in the first place. Guess all of us have been duped.
