About the QVC Sprouts Program

The QVC Sprouts program was created by QVC and designed specifically for inventors with the help of the United Inventors Association (UIA). For more than 25 years, QVC has been digging around for those seeds of inspiration from inventors, innovators and big thinkers.

Rooted in a History of Success

Some of our favorite brands currently offered on QVC were discovered during QVC's national product searches.
Committed to Innovation

QVC continues to be committed to cultivating ideas that can't be found elsewhere.
Increased Accessibility for Inventors

Over the years, QVC's productivity requirements and bar for success have risen to a level that can be unattainable for some new vendors. QVC Sprouts offers aid, assistance and accessibility to inventors and entrepreneurs with innovative product ideas to help them grow and nurture their ideas with less of an overall risk.

How QVC Sprouts Works

The QVC Sprouts program gives an inventor with a retail ready product the opportunity to be selected and placed on the QVC website along with other contestant products for a period of one week. During this time QVC customers will be given the opportunity to vote on those products they would most like to see sold on QVC. This one week voting period allows both the inventor and QVC the opportunity to judge consumer interest in the product.

At the conclusion of the one week voting period, the inventor whose product receives the most consumer votes will be offered the opportunity to sell the product on the QVC website. The process will be repeated weekly, with QVC putting new products up for a vote and producing one winner per week to be featured and promoted across QVC's many customer touchpoints.

The goal is to grow these QVC Sprouts over time up to and including sales presentations on QVC TV.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where and when is the International Home + Housewares Show Kickoff for QVC Sprouts?

The QVC Sprouts program is active now and will include a product review board at the InventionHome.com inventor area of the International Home + Housewares Show on March 13, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois.
How many inventors will present and to whom are they presenting?

The presentation panel, made up of buyers from QVC will review approximately 60 inventor presentations that day.
What results could happen if I present to the QVC buyers panel?

All inventors presenting to the QVC buyers panel will fall in one of three categories. 1) Immediate selection by the buyers into the QVC Sprouts program. 2) Selection into a “pre-QVC Sprouts” level where the inventor will be given advice, guidance, and educational materials to help them prepare for a resubmission into QVC Sprouts at a later date. 3) Rejection of the product as not suitable for QVC.
Do I need an agent or a company to submit my product to QVC Sprouts?

At no time will there ever be a fee, or a requirement to use a submission company or broker to submit a product to the QVC Sprouts program.
How do I know it’s safe to present my idea to QVC Sprouts?

As with any public disclosure of an idea, the inventor should take necessary steps to protect the idea and seek counsel with questions. You can contact the UIA at inventorquestions@uiausa.org for additional information on the processes of protecting product inventions.
How many inventions can I submit using this form?
