TV Shopping Channels history

When television was first invented back around 1930, no one then could have imagined the social and cultural impact. Television commercials soon followed in 1940 and have become one of the most effective, persuasive, and popular methods of selling many products, especially consumer goods. It may have taken 30 years or so but in 1977 the home shopping/electronic retailing industry was created. From this humble beginning selling ‘avocado-green’ can openers on live TV the classic television-based home shopping industry quickly became a major player in the retail industry. The two most successful TV Shopping Channels – HSN and QVC – generate a combined total of over 10 billion dollars in sales every year. In the future expect to see further changes in home shopping with the rise in internet tv, TV Shopping Channels may actually be online shopping channels direct from your PC.
