How QVC's CEO Is Dealing With the Threat of Tariffs and TikTok
Briefly

QVC, facing tariff hikes above 100% on Chinese goods and plummeting consumer confidence, is adapting to a challenging retail environment. The company's traditional model of impulse shopping is under pressure due to market instability and competition from social media platforms like TikTok.
