I notice that they fail to tell you where they have found their price comparisons from - unless it is from the manufacturer’s website. Strange tactic. But then again, the whole channel is strange.
I think he thinks it's a great technique to sell, a sort of verbal juggling of words and phrases. Little does he realise ...Does he ever finish a sentence? Who’s Annie?
To me, the challenge channels like this have in this day and age is being genuinely competitive in their pricing. How many examples have we shown here of products available for less online, sometimes significantly so. Whilst online retailers obviously have costs, they don't have the operational costs of running a tv shopping channel.Oh God, those awful ex-Home Secretary lookalike dolls. Just what you want for Christmas- a doll dressed for summer, based in Colombia. Another great buy at £19.99..

I can see their problem. But this channel seems to see the solution as insisting to people they are getting a magnificent deal, and that they should actually buy more than one because the deal is so good. A lot of the people they are trying to convince of this are probably those who aren’t very competent using the Internet, or don’t use the Internet at all. The people running the channel are no fools, and they know that the prices that they are offering on many occasions can be well-beaten elsewhere. I think it’s extremely cynical therefore to use as a tactic to buy, the alleged superb value of what they are selling compared to elsewhere.To me, the challenge channels like this have in this day and age is being genuinely competitive in their pricing.

Channels like IW and the other one that's recently started simply can't compete with online. That situation won't change for them, actually it'll only get worse.
The ceramic heater on now costs 50p per minute to run? 50p per minute? £30 an hour? No?? And they are advocating this product for older people? Stating that if they fall asleep (while they are building up a huge electricity bill) the machine, if it falls over, will then switch itself off. Marvellous. Only £24.99?? And 50p a minute to run

Yeah its hardly ever off the channel yet always sell's out and never in stock according to some of the presenters..... and its been disucssed on here over the last 10 pages or soI'm just watching Ideal World and they are selling a frangarence for men called 'Gammon'. Is this a fucking piss-take or something? LOL.

Their version of Dolly Parton's Jolene is very good.Sounds like a new lead singer for Strawberry Switchblade Now it is 1970s cleaning - a new entry at No. 28 with The Spinning Mops… I would love to have somebody from that channel in a senior position, explain why they decided to go for that introduction for a funeral piece of piano music between every item.
they have to bring home the bacon somehowI'm just watching Ideal World and they are selling a frangarence for men called 'Gammon'. Is this a fucking piss-take or something? LOL.
