What does it matter if you lived in Florida? HSN is in every state. What are you talking about same type of people and merchandise? As what? I love HSN. Products I buy I love. When you get your information from? They have cheaper clothes n much more expensive clothes. You have a choice at HSN how much you want to pay n what designer you like? My favorite designer is Iman Globel Chic.
My 2nd favorite is G by Guiliana. I like other designers on HSN too. My favorite host is Debbie D. Susann Ruyan n Marlo Smith, all the host are wonderful. I think it depends on YOU And wether you can carry off a classy, expensive look.
I think your comment was tacky and degrading toward anyone who purchased products from HSN. Your email address will not be published. See below for more details. Amy started working at HSN in the year Amy is originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan.
She is married to her husband Stephen since Feb Diller's arrival as chairman of HSN created excitement and anticipation within the industry. Analysts expected Diller to continue to improve programming at HSN and to develop the true value of the company. For example, observers assumed that Diller, well-connected with high-profile designers and celebrities, would utilize his contacts to enhance HSN's offerings and contacts.
However, Diller's interests were varied, and the company moved in some unexpected ways. In a stock-for-stock transaction during the summer of , HSN gained control of Ticketmaster, a broker of entertainment tickets.
HSN greatly expanded its distribution system. HSN's network provided Ticketmaster with a massive venue through which to market concert, theater, and other entertainment event tickets. Expansion continued after the merger, especially on an international level. Earlier, with Sumitomo Corporation, a large Japanese trading company, HSN brought televised home shopping to Japan through minute programs broadcast in Tokyo, Osaka, and nearby regions beginning in Then, with Spanish-language broadcaster Univision, HSN initiated a Spanish-language shopping channel in for full operations in Univision secured U.
Since HSN recognized more than million Spanish-speaking consumers worldwide, the company planned to expand the shopping channel into Latin America and Spain, both of which had millions of existing or cable-ready households. Diller purchased the lion's share of Universal TV Studios operations in the United States, including production and distribution of such hit television programs as Law and Order and Xena: Warrior Princess, in a billion-dollar deal.
In addition to the merger on the domestic scene, HSN and Universal worked together on a venture for international television.
Diller remained as chairman of the new company. This became the holding company for Home Shopping Network and other entities. Yet shortly after buying the Universal properties, Diller began making other deals that brought the company away from traditional television and into new media.
This deal did not come off, though it did apparently lead to the resignation of James Held, who had been chief executive of HSN since Held was credited with improving the fortunes of the company over the previous few years, when it took market share from QVC. Mark Bozek took over Held's job. Home Shopping Network continued to do what it did best--sell things on TV.
The network improved the quality of its offerings, and by the largest percentage of its sales was in electronics exclusively made for HSN.
HSN had other successful exclusive deals, such as selling the video of the hit movie Titanic three months before it was available in stores. HSN made an Internet purchase of its own that year, buying up a Web site that sold home craft goods, Craftopia. The Internet bubble lost its air over and , with many promising web companies folding or seeing their stock prices plummet. A few months later, Diller announced he was ready to sell HSN.
The parent company changed its name to USA Interactive, which at that point consisted principally of the shopping channel, Ticketmaster, Expedia, and Hotels. Its businesses were confusing.
Though it looked like a "new media" company with its online businesses, most of its revenues came from solid old HSN. However, HSN did not do very well over It grew only 3. Yet QVC showed an 11 percent growth rate over the same period.
HSN did not find an immediate buyer. In , Tom McInerney took over as the company's new chief executive. McInerney questioned why QVC consistently did better than HSN and ultimately told Fortune in the article cited above that the rival had "better execution," meaning QVC simply sold better goods and offered better service.
McInerney's focus on better service, however, did apparently improve results, and HSN sales grew strongly in HSN took significant steps to improve its customer service in late These included signing an agreement with the carrier service UPS to deliver HSN packages on average two days faster than previously. The company also felt that it benefited from some of its exclusive sales agreements, such as the Wolfgang Puck line of cookware, Adrien Arpel beauty items, and a desktop computer system available only on HSN from Gateway Computers.
HSN seemed to be doing better, yet it was still an odd match with the rest of the parent company's holdings. The fate of the parent company seemed to hinge on shakeouts in the online sales industry, which in the early s was still very much in flux.
Diller had already said he wanted to sell HSN, and to many analysts this still seemed likely. IAC had been anointed one of the "four horsemen" of the Internet, along with bookseller Amazon. HSN was clearly a different kind of animal. Yet Diller was unpredictable and a veteran of many convoluted business combinations. Thus, it was uncertain in what might lie ahead for HSN.
I remember the Chinese channel, too! And like you, I was disappointed to find out it ran several hours overnight. I am and was an insomniac. And I watched Dan Dennis, too. He was a good jewelry salesman. As well as John Cremeans. And my fave product, Serious Skin Care! We were able to buy a home outright in the Vegas burbs from the sale of our BA home, and are enjoying cheaper living and better weather. Just, wow!!
I lived over the hill from you. My little city had 2 initials, too. The first one is C. We sold in and moved to SoCal; we now live in AZ. We left the BA for the same reasons. Hubby had a choice: stay in BA or go to SoCal to a newly opened branch of his company. We chose to move. After the recession we went to AZ. Love it here. I had an Ocean Beach rain jacket. It was car coat length; and I wore it for 10 years, then donated it in good shape and someone is still probably wearing it!
How I miss those days! And Diane Gilman, before she got into making jeans. And I bought plenty of jewelry from Dan and John. I just happened to tune in when something boring was on. When I actually stopped to watch, I found some great bargains. Remember beat the clock jewelry and beat the clock fashion? And the great clearance sales. Hi Jerri I know where you lived. Nice little town. I know it changed too. I bought most of my makeup there, to show off my SSC skin!
There was also on the same street a little strip mall closer in, that I liked, too. Great Ross in there frequently well stocked with Perlier at great markdowns. You were there 3 years longer than us…. I have a beautiful aquamarine and diamond set in white gold that I bought from Colleen, as well as a beautiful pearl bypass ring, and a tanzanite ring and earrings. Lots of amethyst set in silver and white gold, and some lab grown ruby beauties.
My Jay King wardrobe is huge. Hubs and I worked hard at good jobs, put our kids through school, and then enjoyed little treats now and then. Unfortunately, not too long after we moved to Vegas, HSN started changing and not for the better. I think that may have been when Barry Diller stepped down.
I had HSN on speed dial, lol! But ours was better. You and I have very similar taste in jewelry. I have earlier Jay King things that I still wear. I have a beautiful blister pearl ring and cuff that I bought from him in Pink is ok on occasion, like copper or rose gold.
Her best stuff was pre Best wishes to you. Fondly, Jerri. I did like the one in Oakland, too, but seldom went there. My daughter and son in law just moved from the BA about a year ago. They got tired of the grind, the crime, and the traffic. Yes, all of us who left are better off. Until then, best wishes and happy shopping to you. It has been a huge seller at HSN for years.
I used to be a good HSN customer, I bought pretty frequently. A couple products worked well, but I found other brands that worked better for me.
My friend in another state and I worked together before I moved. Ditto a couple other women I knew. I hope she does end up at Evine, one more reason for people to shop there over HSN, which has gotten terrible.
