Every day, they offer their customers a Today’s Special Value that can vary across broad categories. Today’s Special Values are provided as an incentive to customers; a way to gain new customers and boost revenue. The thesis will examine the challenges that are faced by customers when they make purchases and how they affect QVC. It will also provide an analysis of the amount of time spent teasing and selling a Today’s Special Value and if it is an adequate amount for different price points. In addition, this thesis will study the perceived value of QVC customers, in hopes of finding an effective way to forecast sales for Today’s Special Value. ix 1 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction The migration of retail from brick and mortar to television’s multi-billion dollar home shopping networks has transformed the way customers purchase. The start of home shopping was in 1977 via radio in Clearwater, Florida. Masterminds Lowell W. Paxson and Roy Speer took their idea of selling merchandise on radio to television shortly thereafter. In the early 1970’s, Paxson, an AM radio station owner, had succumbed to the rise of FM radio and began to lose listeners as well as advertisers (International Directory of Company History, 2004). In an effort to keep his company afloat after an advertiser could not pay his bill, Paxson took some electric can openers provided by the advertiser and began to sell them on the radio. Due to the success of the can opener sale, Paxson decided to change the name of the radio station to Suncoast Bargaineers and change his programming to radio shopping. Listeners would call the radio station and make purchases through the phone (Schudel, 2015). In order for Paxson to successfully orchestrate this transition, he enlisted the help of Roy Speer for financial support. Speer was an attorney and real estate developer (Reference of Business 2015). The two decided to change their company name in order to fit their new programming genre and selected the “Home Shopping Channel.” A few years later they would go on to change the name again, dropping “channel” and adding “club.” By 1985, while rechristening their company, they launched the network nationwide, broadcasting 24 hours a day through cable and local television stations (HSN.com, 2015). 2 The success of HSN did not go unnoticed by a West Chester,
