QVC and Oprah have teamed up and are having a product search in late March at the QVC headquarters in PA. I have an appointment to pitch my product and will be flying down the night before. I was wondering if anyone else is attending this event.

If you don`t know about the event, here is a link.

Also, SuN has a great radio show segment on QVC here.

Thanks guys! Gee, I hope so! They only accept 4% of what they see. I hope it`s worth the plane fare, hotel, rental car, etc. I guess time will tell.

Good Luck Dippy Chick!  I hope they choose you.  If they do, be ready to manufacture an awful lot of those dips!!!!

Thanks Janie! I would certainly have to hire a few people, but I`ll tackle that if it comes my way.

Make sure you read the rules, this part could become expensive if you are sending prototypes
"No one-of-a-kind or irreplaceable Products should be submitted by participants as all Product samples and entry materials submitted to Sponsors shall become the sole property of such Sponsors and will not be returned."

I think at the product search they said they would not be keeping samples, but regardless, I don`t care. In fact I want them to keep my samples. Please QVC - Take my samples and LOVE them.

Ohh no doubt Dippy Chick, you have a perfect line for them to keep your stuff, you want that to happen. My post was intended for others that might have a one of a kind prototype that cost tens of thousands and send it out with the expectation of getting it back. Just a cautionary note.

 I also made sure that my appointment was just before lunch.

Yeah, I think for the in-person presentations they don`t keep the samples, but when you send them in instead, they do.
