Basically then, what they are selling or not selling at present doesn’t matter. They will just run it at a loss because getting hold of the name and platform for it was key?
Mr. Sunil Agrawal, Managing Director, Vaibhav Global Limited, said, “We welcome Ideal World to VGL group. Over the years Ideal World has created a unique position for itself in the teleshopping industry. We expect this transaction to create synergies and help us continue market leading growth.Basically then, what they are selling or not selling at present doesn’t matter.

I agree with you. It is a win-win situation for them. It allows them to allow more air time for jewellery sales, while Ideal World is used for cheap tat and what their beauty channel used to sell.I freely admit you would find it had to find someone more died in the wool cynical than me so feel free to discount my view.
it’s a WIN WIN strategy for them.
they get a larger customer base (increase their business), make even bigger profit selling low priced crap at inflated prices which easily covers the cost of the meals they donate with no actual cost to themselves.
Improve their image as a careing alltrusic company get tax breaks for charitable donations. Meanwhile soft hearted customers buy crap that soon ends up in the bin increasing waste we are trying to decrease but hay ho who care They look good because they are feeding children a 27p meal
Motormouth Jacks is the only presenter who mentions the free meals. It makes me cringe every time she goes there, which has been happening often recently.re my above post there are times my being dislexic really frustrates me. What I want to say gets disrailed by the time spent googling how to spell simple words and correcting misspellings.
basically I’m trying to say from a purely personal point of veiw is they are taking advantage both of a charity that needs donations and a public whos hearts are easily twitch at the mention of deprived innocent children and leaves me frustrated and speechless.
And then there’s the cost of re investment versus profitI have never heard Mike say it, although I channel hop a lot. They are probably only doing this free meal to obtain coporation tax relief.
Forget the silly £300 price comparison they showed on screen. The Philips website has a price of £244.99, while Amazon has a price of £239.99, as mentioned above. For a change, they have the lowest price I can find for something.
Last week, I purchased an Instand Brands air fryer from ebay. For £50, I decided to take the new and unwanted gift. During the early part of last year, when they appeared on Ideal World, I nearly bought one.yep and I found with the one I brought last year air fryers do generally seem to have the best value on there. saved 40 quid on mine from any other place. Brand name - Instant, of course they went bust int he US shortly after !!
