GREETINGS

These are very exciting times at QVC UK. 2012 has seen us move to our new custom-built £33.6 million Media and Commerce Centre at Chiswick Park. Despite the tough economic environment we continue to perform well and confidence in our growth prospects is borne out by our recent investment.

We’re a multi-platform operation – TV, web and mobile – so our

customers can shop with us whenever they like and from wherever they

like. In 2011 over one million unique customers shopped with us and we

delivered almost 15 million items.

We have an engaged, loyal customer base that trusts us and 96% of our

business comes from repeat custom. We have great insight into who

our customers are and this shapes what we do and helps us drive sales.

We can offer vendors bespoke retail. We provide the platform; you

provide your message, your style, your guests, the power of your

presentation, your way – all supported by our knowledge and expertise.

Being part of a global QVC family, which reaches over 200 million

households and serves 11.5 million customers worldwide annually, means

we have a huge talent bank to tap into to help provide an exciting,

tailored local offering.

From mid-2012 we’ll have a new modern look across all our platforms.

We’re confident of our future success and are always looking to raise

our game even further by working in partnership with exciting new

vendors, new stakeholders and new employees.

We distribute nationwide, will be available on-air in all homes by

the end of 2012, and our holistic multichannel approach means our

customers can shop anytime, anywhere with us. This is great for us and

great for our vendors.

Our live on-air demonstrations allow our customers to experience the

products in action and to absorb expert advice and information that

they could never pick up from reviewing the product in a shop. As

we’re on-air 24/7, 365 days a year, our customers can shop when it’s

most convenient for them.

Virtually the entire enterprise, from the broadcast studios to the call

centre and the inventory management system is ‘live’, with customer’s

responses visible in increments of three seconds, meaning we can

respond rapidly to their demands and therefore provide a better

offering, which in turn helps to increase sales. We’re not just a TV

channel either. Customers can browse and purchase from our full

range on our website, or by pressing the red button on their remote,

or even on their iPhone or iPad with our QVC app. Customers can

always keep in touch with QVC while they’re on the go.

Although we have an established web presence, we shall be revamping

our website in mid-2012 to display our new, modern look and to ensure

our customers have a great online experience. We have taken over

£1 million in sales on a single day via our website qvcuk.com. It’s an

ever-growing component in our multi-platform offering.

Social media has become part of everyday life – Facebook, Twitter,

YouTube and qvcuk.com have not only helped to shape our company,

they’ve changed the retail landscape for good. It’s now not just

important to have a presence online, it’s vital to have a multi-platform

retail experience that engages and impacts on customers at every

level. With that in mind we’ve enabled our customers to interact with

each other, ask us questions on Facebook and watch their favourite

QVC shows on YouTube.

SHOP WITH QVCWHENEVER, WHEREVERKeeping up with the latest technology remains top of our agenda here at

QVC. In 2011 we gave our customers even more choice with the opportunity

to shop on the go with the launch of our new iPhone app. Now, with just

one tap, everything our customers love about shopping with us is at their

fingertips. Over 70,000 customers have already downloaded the app and

shop with us whenever they like and from wherever they happen to be.

The app allows live streaming, so customers can watch QVC TV live from

their iPhone with our 16:9 live stream and the current on-air item can be

purchased. The app currently generates over 3 percent of our sales and it

will be available on Android in 2012, offering even more customers access to

QVC on the go.

To help our customers decide which products are right for them, we have

a Rate and Review system on our website. After purchasing, customers

are encouraged to give their purchase a score out of five and to leave an

additional comment. The products are then ‘scored’ using a weighting

system, which takes into account the number of reviews received and

scores given. Over 50,000 different products have been reviewed since the

system was introduced in October 2007 and the product with the most

reviews has received a whopping 228,828!

QVC STYLE

QVC Style was launched in May 2011 and is available 24-hours-a-day on

and branded Jewellery, and comprises the most recent fashion shows

aired on the main QVC channel as well as some exclusive content,

featuring style advice, hints and tips.

Philip van der Merwe, Buying Director, says, “The QVC Style channel

on QVC Active gives our customers another chance to gain more

information about a product in order to allow them to make an even

better informed purchasing decision. The channel attracts a dedicated

fashion-aware customer and also creates further awareness of the QVC

fashion brand portfolio.”

QVC BEAUTY

In October 2010, QVC launched its second channel, QVC Beauty,

giving our customers the option to browse and then buy high-end

beauty products. It’s the first 24-hours-a-day TV channel dedicated

to premium beauty brands and beauty advice, and it’s going from

strength to strength.

Kate James, Head of Buying, QVC Beauty says, “QVC Beauty is a fully

dedicated channel to premium beauty brands, giving the customers

the opportunity to get the inside track on their favourite brands

and hear the advice given by some of the industry’s experts. The

channel gives our vendors a platform to reach out to new and existing

QVC IN NUMBERS

DISTRIBUTION CENTRE

Our Distribution Centre, based in Knowsley, near Liverpool, is

certainly a hive of industry. In 2012 we expect to ship almost 15

million units from there. Our warehouse is a massive 575,000

square feet and our High Bay area is a further 49,000 square

feet. All-in-all our Knowsley site spans 681,000 square feet -

the size of eight football pitches - so there’s plenty of room

to store your products! Speed of service is important to us and

we aim to ship 100% of outbound goods within 48 hours.

As we want all our customers to be totally satisfied with

every purchase they make from us, it’s vital that the products

we sell on QVC are of the highest quality. To ensure this, we

have a specialist Quality Assurance team whose sole job is to

check that the quality of our products is second to none. They

test and inspect each of our products, every day. They also

give our buyers advice on purchasing new products, let us

know about any unacceptable merchandise we receive in our

warehouse, and carry out audits and vendor checks to make

sure we continue to meet our customers’ expectations.
