QVC Group details TikTok, social content plans
This story was originally published on Retail Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Retail Dive newsletter. QVC Group hosted its first Super Brand Day on TikTop Shop earlier this month, building on its efforts to expand its reach and investments in social shopping. For eight hours on May 14, QVC Group streamed live content from creators and celebrities on TikTok resulting in its highest viewed and engaged company-hosted livestream to date, a QVC Group spokesperson said. QVC Group plans to expand its TikTok reach internationally, CEO David Rawlinson said during a recent earnings call. Next February, the company will partner with TikTok U.K. Minutes watched on QVC Group's social and streaming platforms grew 26% compared to last year, while streaming monthly active users grew 131%. March was the company's largest non-holiday revenue month. QVC Group said success in its streaming and social businesses is crucial. The company now streams 24/7 on TikTok and cited its most important metric as revenue growth in a recent earnings call. QVC Group estimates the percentage of revenue generated during Q1 through streaming and social platforms was in the mid- to high-single digits. Rawlinson said what's key to the company's social strategy is that it consists of a pre-aggregated audience. 'There are already tens of millions, in some cases, hundreds of millions of people, if not billions, on those platforms,' Rawlinson said on the call. 'And so you get to play in a very growing, large stream of potential customers who are increasingly used to seeing shopping content in their social feeds and who are increasingly converting over to purchases within their social experience. And so that's the magnitude of the opportunity.' Despite QVC Group's financial struggles, the company is going all in on social shopping investments. Among its various social commerce investments, QVC Group's latest targets Gen X. The 'Age of Possibility' platform celebrates women over age 50 with an expanded TikTok partnership and an eight-hour livestream shopping event. Beyond social, QVC Group is tapping into other ways it can broaden customer reach. Through a partnership with American Airlines, travelers can stream QVC+ and HSN+ channels on the airline's free in-flight entertainment platform. Sign in to access your portfolio

Kathie Lee Gifford uncovers secret to thriving in her 70s
Kathie Lee Gifford reflected on how she is embracing life in her 70s. The 71-year-old former "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee" host serves as an ambassador for QVC's Quintessential 50, which is "a collective of inspiring women over 50 who show that life only gets better with age," according to a press release for the shopping network.

During an interview with Fox News Digital at the event, Gifford shared her thoughts on what the Age of Possibility meant to her. "Maybe something different than it is to a lot of women who think 'Are there any possibilities left for me?'" Gifford said. "And they have a sense of despair — some of them — a little sense of well, 'What am I here for anymore?'" she continued. "But I've always had purpose in my life. I've been solid and just steadfast. I've tried to be a believer in Almighty God, and if I wake up every morning, that means — I've got a pulse. That means he has got a purpose for me and that's what I try to do is listen to his voice. Figure out what that purpose is, and go about it holding his hand. "And not getting ahead of Him because I can't do it without Him," Gifford added. "I can't breathe without Him, and never had a day in my life when I thought I could. I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful that I came to that kind of faith early on in life. I don't know what I would have turned out to be in Hollywood if I hadn't been rooted in my faith. Right, wrong, immoral, moral. I mean, it saved me from a lot of despair." "The God of the Way" author explained how she had approached each new decade of her life with purpose and gratitude.

I was still working with Regis. And then even at 60, I was working with Regis," Gifford continued. "And then I turned 71 this past year. " "If you live in the past, you're gonna die there." "I know it's hard to believe," she quipped. "There are things in my body I'm not happy about. But I've got a brand new book coming out. I've got three movies I'm writing and producing with my son. What else am I doing? I've got two new grandchildren coming. I will have five under the age of three in three years." "I mean, if you live in the past, you're gonna die there. If you just concentrate on what you've lost in your life, you're going to miss out on what you still have. And God wants you to be grateful. Not enough grateful people in this world, you know?

"They called me years ago when I was on with Regis and asked me to do a product line for them," she said. "So, I came out with some sort of a beauty product, I think it was a skin cream and a really, really good one. And they said, 'Now you know, you might have to stay there and come back every 20 minutes or every couple hours and do it in the middle of the night, and I said, 'OK, let's see how it goes.'" "We sold out," Gifford recalled. "We sold $5 million worth of it in five minutes. I went, 'Oh.'" "Now, that didn't happen every time I went to do QVC, but it was a nice big step first," she added with a smile. Since then, Gifford said she has worked with QVC on and off over the years. "They're an amazing organization," she said. "Technically, they're superb and nice, nice, nice people. And you know me, I don't hang out with mean ones. I do not do it."
