GCI Elite Rocker Chair
On 6/1/2021, GCI Outdoors launched their Elite Rocker Chair as a Today’s Special Value on QVC. This patented rocker chair was created exclusively for QVC and included a built in shoulder strap so that you could transport the chair anywhere, without the hassle of placing into a carrying bag. This item was a complete success, selling out of all 50,000 units during the day.
Camphill Special School Pottery
Camphill Special School, Beaver Farm is an amazing place that gives very special young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities the ability to meaningfully participate in life. The students help farm the land and take care of the animals, create amazing products in the woodshop, and produce the most beautiful pottery. We were so inspired by the pottery that these students were making that we wanted to be able to bring their work to the world. We worked to have a handful of our favorite pieces reproduced so the pieces & the story could be shared with the QVC audience. Each piece of pottery is made with love, and to honor those students hard work, 10% of the QVC Sale Price for each item sold goes directly back to the school.
The Child
Disney’s “The Child” from Star Wars The Mandalorian was a huge success on QVC. Also, preferred to as “Baby Yoda”, this cute green guy would go on to sellout all 3 days presented on QVC with over 50,000 units sold.
Keurig K-Supreme
On October 3, 2021 we featured the Keurig K-Supreme as the Today’s Special Value on QVC. We knew we had something special, as our K-Supreme Today’s Special at HSN earlier in the year sold-out! Going into this event, we were excited to be able to provide the customer a brewer that she loves, with the most colors we’ve ever offered in a Keurig—including some customer choice exclusive colors! These stories sure did resonate, as we were able to install over 80,000 K-Supreme brewers in just one day!
Sportbrella XL Vented Sun & Rain Canopy Umbrella
On April 22nd, 2021 we brought a US vendor to QVC UK with the Sportbrella XL Vented Sun & Rain Canopy Umbrella. This item features both sun and weather protection, as well as zippered windows to allow for airflow. We launched right as the customer was spending a lot more time outdoors, trying to escape the confines of the pandemic, and were very successful. We started with over 2,000 units and within a week were completely sold out! Based on this success, QVC UK is expanding the program for 2022 with a new updated Sportbrella Premiere XL as a keyline buy, and then also trying out the new Sportbrella Versa-brella as a brand-extension. We are really excited to see how Sportbrella category continues to perform this year!
NFL Team Roster Signature Football
In 2021 we launched our first Today’s Special from Rawlings at HSN – an NFL Team Roster Signature Football which includes replica versions of each player’s signature on the ball. The product had been a success and was able make the leap up to HSN’s largest promotion of the day. It outperformed expectations and finished over 150% to goal.
Wicker Park Indoor/Outdoor Faux Garden Spheres
In 2019, we had a Garden Sphere item launch in March and was wildly successful which turned into a TSV in 2020. It was an item under a new brand in 2019 called “Wicker Park” which is a subdivision of Bethlehem Lights. After a successful TSV in 2020, we earned 2 additional TSV’s in 2021 and based on their success, we are excited to launch a Garden Sphere in March 2022 and then a Harvest Sphere in August 2022 under the same Wicker Park brand. Three years later the brand continues to grow and is a living example of success begets success.
Decorative Solar Garden Animals by Jennings
These animal stools were designed by the wife of the Grean Base owner. The stools sold out 2 years in a row and is customer top rated. In our 3rd year we added 2 new designs and have done over half a million dollars in sales. The success of the solar garden stool characters have led to purchases by the seasonal decor team for Halloween and Christmas that debuted last year and have been reordered for 2022.

What Our Vendor Partners Say:

“Atleisure has been working with T.O. Epps and Associates since our company’s inception. When we made the corporate decision to solicit QVC to launch our innovative products, T.O. Epps’ team immediately came to mind. Their first class reputation and passion in the lawn and garden segment at QVC has been known in the industry for over 20 years.

The leadership team at T.O. Epps is well respected at QVC and was apart of the initial vendor advisory board at QVC. Their response time, selfless dedication to airings (no matter the time of day), detailed follow-up, relationships at QVC top-down and knowledge of QVC policies and procedures is best in class amongst manufacturer representatives. Working collaboratively with T.O. Epps and QVC, Atleisure has successfully aired 3 TSV’s in the past 4 years.

We look forward to a continued long-term relationship with QVC and T.O. Epps as our representative partner.”

– Vice President, Atleisure

“We have been extremely happy with our decision to partner with T.O. Epps. Thanks to the T.O. Epps team’s long term relationships with QVC, and their knowledge of QVC’s customers and processes we were able to launch Quell® Wearable Pain Relief Technology on QVC in record time. I don’t believe we would have achieved the success we have without their expertise.”

– Senior Vice President, Neurometrix

“The T.O. Epps rep group has partnered with Keurig to represent our coffee products to QVC for over 10 years. During this relationship, the T.O. Epps rep group has provided vision, strategy and thought leadership when helping to develop the ‘go to market” strategy for Keurig at QVC. They truly are a “manufacture’s champion” putting the manufacture’s objectives at the center of every process when it comes to developing a QVC strategy. They anticipate the future trends of their business, and work creatively to mobilize resources to shape the changes needed for the manufacture to be successful at QVC. They help drive growth through relationship-management, collaboration and the effective and efficient use of their many resources. Their attention to detail is unmatched. Keurig would not have had the success at QVC over the past 10 years if it were not for the partnership with the T.O. Epps rep. group.”
