Random musings and general banter.

It‘s a power bank. How do these people motivate themselves to get enthusiastic about this stuff, night after night?

Now its 100 felt tip pens!! No joke.

How is this channel financially viable?? Something is off here.

From my perspective, it appears that they are purchasing stock from companies that have gone into liquidation/closed down or are buying up customer returned stock. Based on some TrustPilot reviews regarding receiving used items or missing accessories from the boxes.

10O felt tips, £9.99 from Amazon, no postage.

All you can think is they buy in such bulk they pay about 10p per unit and set a relatively massive profit margin - even on bargain basement stuff.

Got to give Mikey his due for being able to chat his **** about the most crapiest of crap items.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

He could sell ice to an Eskimo.

That is exactly what they do, yes. It's TJC's business model.

They buy primarily from China/far east. Look at the well-known sites like Temu and AliExpress and you'll find most of the same products, being sold very cheaply - and even at those prices those companies make a handsome profit. TJC, er, IW buy in bulk from the suppliers so pay a lot less, sell at a far higher cost than Temu et al, so make a LOT more profit in turn.

Add in the liquidated/offloaded stock and that's bought up cheap as chips too. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the Betterware stock IW is shifting is being sold for more on their channel than it would've originally cost people from Betterware!

And they save money on production costs by using low-res cameras, interns and graduates in the gallery, and low-cost presenters who are just happy to be on TV/no-one else wants

"Ladies, valentine's day is a couple of weeks away, you'll have these in time for valentines, may i just say, yes please, absolutely cannot go wrong, lads love watches and we would love one of these."

Like heck we would, absolute cheap crap, it's £5-£10 Ali express quality at most, utter garbage.

Lads YOU CAN have this watch says Mike

 

[Duke of Cheese]

First I’ve seen of him since the first few minutes of his shift. Selling spectacles now. No logic or connection to most of what they sell. Don’t tell me….going to the manufacturer’s to contrast the price difference.

Dog leads now… I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole..

 

[SiRich]

I agree Jess was fine when she started she was giddy but fine

False, patronising and a terrible actress, apart from that she's great!!

 

[user 17461]

Might I suggest that the floor staff start using that crappy dog leash on Dirty Pedro.

Start retracting the cord when he gets stuck in a stream of unconsciousness. And the integral poo bag holder will be useful for all the crap he spews

 

[user 17461]

Why does Mike have a door mat that says "Wipe your paws"?

Dogs can't read. Much like the average IW presenter.

 

[SiRich]

those dog leads look so cheap and flimsy, most retractable ones are graded by weight of your dog so they are up to it, safe.

Wonder will they ever get some decent household/family products, in im not hopeful.

Its making old IW look like an absolute worldy of a shopping channel.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Those leads look cheap and they look nasty. There looks little substance to them. The fact they’ve bunged on a torch almost seems a tactic to detract from the woefully inadequate look of the lead. The lead is your one tangible connection with your dog. Don’t cut corners by buying a cheap one.

Rob: “The brand name is rubbish.” Gammon he refers to. Honest seller. What an absolute breath of retail fresh air this bloke is.

Exactly. The elephant in the room is the name. Just say its a rubbish name and move on. Best way to be.

I'm the same about Ideal World
