Budd Margolis
The TV Shopping Whisperer...



Some people started to call me the TV Shopping
  Whisperer after the famous dog trainer. I started to
  watch the programmes and realised Cesar understood
  dogs like no other person. If I can just aspire
  to understand this industry to a small degree what he can
  do, I would be able to provide my clients with real value
  for money skills!
IBM Pudong PPC
                          1999
The challenge is always how to create the most efficient
system for the client? How do you work with people who
come from varied cultures and create harmony with new
work methods and the latest technology? It is not simple or
easy but I believe that by studying the culture and market,
and respecting both, one can navigate and persevere. I take
great pride in my work and life long friendships with all those
I work with. I am truly honoured and blessed to have
the privilege to work with so many fine people and
their successful TV shopping and news channels.
The Science of Shopping
You have to make it safe, easy and fun!

Interactive retailing is a part of direct marketing, there are ways
to create excitement that converts viewers or users to
customers but building a system that also respects the
customer, and enhances the brand as well as long term loyalty,
is not magic or luck but hard work and experience.

Technology enables but too often it is let down by
poor implementation or adaptation. Innovating with respect
and udnerstanding means a better experience without negative
impact. Connecting to the customer and delivering leading
standards of customer care means higher retention and spend.
William J. Schereck Jr
Executive Vice President - International division of QVC Network Inc. from Dec. 93' - Feb 94'




William J. Schereck Jr was President and Chief Executive Officer of TV Shopping Network Limited
from August 1995 to February 1998. He served as President - International division of QVC
Network Inc. from February 1994 to May 1995. He served as Executive Vice President -
International division of QVC Network Inc. from December 1993 to February 1994. From 1990 to
December 1993, Mr. Schereck served as Vice President, Cable Affiliates for Fox Broadcasting
Company and from 1985 to 1990 he held a series of positions with WMSN, a television station in
Madison, Wisconsin, most recently as General Manager.

 "Very few people have a chance to participate from the inside of the startup
of a new industry. Budd was part of the team that launched QVC UK. I was
the supervising Executive for that startup and President, QVC International.
 He then had the opportunity to observe in the startup I supervised in Mexico
for QVC. He then participated in the startup of TVSN in Australia when I was
CEO. Only a handfull of people in the world have that level of experience in
starting TV shopping operations. If there were a PhD in International
Electronic Retailing, Budd would have earned one of the first."
Katie Williams, CEO, Williams Worldwide Television

Ms. Kathleen Williams was a founding member of the industry’s trade association (Electronic
Retailing Association), and a member of its Board of Directors. She was also named “Entrepreneur of the
Year” for the city of Los Angeles in 1991.
WWT (Williams Worldwide Television) was ranked in the top five woman-owned businesses in Los
Angeles County by the Los Angeles Business Journal for four consecutive years,
and was chosen by Working Woman Magazine as one of the top women-owned companies nationwide for
two consecutive years.

"Budd is an expert on TV home shopping everywhere. And I mean everywhere--
whether India, Korea, UK, Italy, Germany, or Australia --name a shopping network
and Budd's got the inside skinny!"

“Budd is an ecommerce global visionary. Sounds lofty, but it's true--he has been
involved in TV shopping and ecomm from its early days in many markets--including
the UK, Australia, Korea, France,and China. Very few have such international
expertise--if you are trying to build a TV shopping or international ecommerce
business, Budd can save you lots of money and considerable heartache.” January

breadth and depth of his knowledge of what is going on in electronic retailing and
direct response TV is breath-taking. He is a delight to work with -- warm, friendly,
and gifted. His grasp of world commerce is profound. Budd is one of those rare

retail and technology, and provides solid, wise, and experienced advice.”
