They were the networks which thought "We can do this", and tried.  Alas, in the end, they went off the air.  Some with a fanfare, some just vanished.  Today a look back at CDN (Consumer Discount Network), Sky Merchant, The Caravan of Values, and the National Shopping Club.  If you're saying "I haven't heard of those", you're not alone.  Video can be found on the Shawn Wilsie youtube channel.  Tom Oszman's TC Media Now website Shawn Wilsie's youtube containing the clips played today and many more

Using the term in a gender neutral sense, the show looks at the best "pitchmen" of all time.  Some started on the boardwalks of Atlantic City, most were unknown, until their ability to sell took them to another level.  

One of the oldest things Infomercial and TV Shopping networks do, is actually taking a page from the pitchmen on the boardwalks in Atlantic city in the 1940s.  When you hear "but wait, there's more!" or see a price drop, it's a classic sales technique, which is examined on  this episode.  JTV and ShopLC still use them, but QVC, HSN and ShopHQ have given them up.  But there's a good case that these tricks, still work.  

A look back at the highlights, lowlights, and movies created by (???, whatever...) QVC, HSN, and ShopHQ in 2023.  What worked, what didn't work, and how does 2024 look for the industry?

It's the late 1980s and the attitude is "TV shopping is easy to do", so everyone does it.  What happens when the "Playboy Channel" cable network decides to try a tv shopping show?  I think you know the answer...

Donna's speech from the 2023 Kentucky Entrepreneur Hall of Fame ceremony in Lexington, KY on November 2, 2023. Donna Salyers President and Founder, Fabulous Furs Beginning with a faux fur sewing kit she designed and assembled in their basement, Donna Salyers Fabulous-Furs has grown into a majority asset of Salyers Group, a diversified investment company. Her products are sold through catalog, Internet, retail, and wholesale accounts in over 4,000 hotels, stores, and boutiques including Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, plus TV shopping networks Shop HQ and Australia's TVSN. Inspiration occurred in the late 80's when, on her way to purchase a mink coat, Donna chanced to hear a broadcast describing kittens being skinned alive for “mink” teddy bears. Instead of buying a coat, she set out to create a luxurious alternative. Known as the World's finest faux furs, her designs have appeared in hundreds of Broadway productions, movies, and TV shows, plus every major fashion magazine. Donna was profiled in People Magazine and twice in the Wall Street Journal. A retail showroom in Covington houses Donna Salyers Fabulous-Furs and Fabulous-Bridal. Salyers Group opened Hotel Covington in late 2016 and added 23 suites in 2023, complementing the Madison Event Center they opened in 1989. Donna wrote a syndicated newspaper column for 17 years, leading to a video series, a national TV show and eight books.

The show begins with a tribute to the recent passing of one of the industry pioneers, then the conversation turns to a stream of consciousness chat about what happened to ValueVision/ShopNBC/ShopHQ/EvineLive/Evine/ShopHQ which caused the bankruptcy of its parent company, iMedia.  

This show is dedicated to addressing the comments left, and questions asked about the TV shopping industry on social media, after episodes of this podcast.  From drinking wine, to shipping costs, to the dress codes, many different topics are touched on.  Then a look at the new shopping app Sune, which might be doing it right, before closing with two quick stories Shawn has from ShopNBC.  First he addresses the famous incident where he tossed a watch box around, and then answers the question "what ever happened to Johnny?"

A busy show today as a series of podcasts about TV shopping and the law begins, QVC/HSN results, ShopHQ stock, and the death of the professional broadcaster in TV shopping and on television in general.

Could this really be it?  The press release and CEO call regarding the iMedia results for fiscal year 2022?  

It's the big day, when iMedia FINALLY announces their 2022 sales.  Are you a betting person? 

It's the second attempt at the numbers coming out for iMedia, the parent company of ShopHQ.  Plus before it was ShopHQ/Evine/Evine Live/ShopHQ/ShopNBC it was ValueVision, and it's time for a look back at how it all started, on the TV station which launched "Mystery Science Theatre".  Shawn will play some audio from ValueVision which hasn't been played publicly since it first aired, and a look at how the company came closer than anyone on TV in being the online leader.  Also, a conversation about the listener reaction to the past three shows.   Shawn Wilsie's Youtube Channel 

ShopHQ was scheduled to release their yearly numbers on March 22, so the show begins with a discussion of that.  Following that is a look at why taking on-air phone calls can be a terrible idea, and when a show concept goes wrong.  The remainder of the show looks at how marketing can affect a brands image, as several podcast listeners have asked about what is going on with how Invicta is presenting its product.  The show closes with a quick discussion of TikTok.   King Of Shower Beers TikTok

Continuing the conversation about the bad news at QVC/HSN and what can be done, if anything, to right the ship.  Son of QVC founder Joseph Segel, Marvin Segel, joins the show.  

Nothing but bad news for TV shopping networks QVC and HSN, as they close their fiscal year.  Special guest Marvin Segel, son of QVC founder Joseph Segel, joins the show to unpack the disappointing sales numbers, and discuss the sad layoffs of 400 employees.     Joan Rivers salutes Joseph Segel  The Wellness Kitchenista

In the 1980s, television experienced a renewed interest in "Bingo" because of the direct-response connections.  Once Home Shopping Club (later known as HSN) took off, it was almost inevitable that someone merged the two ideas together, in this pre-QVC world.  For three months in late 1986, "Money Mania" was broadcast into 40 million homes.  What went wrong with an idea which looked amazing on paper?  That's our focus on this episode.  

The planned show, what some shopping networks are doing right, will begin after a very deep dive into what's going on with Qurate stock, the owner of QVC and HSN.  Plus, what might be a contender for worst holiday commercial of all-time.  The show closes with a sad farewell to a small business who tried very hard to make a go of it on Facebook Live.  

QVC is getting into making movies, could this be a mistake?  Plus a listen to a QVC host selling an iPad after telling you not to buy one before.  The ShopHQ numbers are out and they finally tell us where Shaq is.  All wrapped around a theme of Christmas and Santa is waiting for you to call him.

961 Victoria's dream was to study literature or art in college, but her parents urged her to consider business instead. After making so many sacrifices for their children—giving up a comfortable life in South Korea and starting over—they wanted to be sure that their children would end up with secure jobs. She worked full time while completing a BS degree in Economics from UCLA and an MBA from USC. After graduate school, she was offered several jobs in New York but took a marketing job at a jewelry manufacturing company in Los Angeles to stay closer to her family. Much to her surprise, she ended up using her artistic talents a lot more than she ever imagined. Believing that there was a market for high quality, stylish jewelry at affordable prices, she formed her own company in 1989 on a shoestring budget. Over the next three decades, her jewelry career allowed her to travel to many places she'd only read about ever since she was a young girl. Victoria's jewelry designs are inspired by her extensive travels, soaking in history, cultures, and architecture. Today, she is a successful jewelry designer with her own TV show on Shop HQ, connecting with millions of viewers regularly. ________ Want your customers to talk about you to their friends and family?

TV shopping meets facebook, in this episode which could also be explained by the old adage "everything old is new again".  Today Shawn examines the small businesses who are taking to facebook in a way, almost identical to how the founders of the tv shopping industry were doing it forty years ago.  

First there was TV, then cable TV, then OTT (over the top) TV and now it's all about CTV.  In this episode, Shawn looks at how the future of all the cable shopping networks could be in something similar to an app., which QVC is already using on AppleTV.  

For many, their introduction to the world of shopping on TV wasn't QVC, CVN or the Home Shopping Club, but the syndicated "Telephone Auction Shopping Program".  Auctioneer Chuck Huggins guided the viewer through a frenzied hour, which couldn't epitomize the 1980s more if it tried.  

Good friend of the show Marvin Segel, son of the man who created QVC Joe Segel, returns to discuss the current state of affairs at QVC/HSN, in a very frank and honest discussion with host Shawn Wilsie.  

What can go wrong when you're doing a live show, from a remote location?  Only everything.  While some networks over-produce what they do, some under produce.  We'll listen to what happens when you don't plan enough; and when you send a guest to work with a celebrity guest on location, and leave your star host back in the studio, alone.  But first, more of the listener-voted annoying commercials.  (don't worry, this episode if free of Hy-Vee commercials)
