Not a kid and bored already, have switched off to watch ghost adventures.
If I’ve learnt from Hammy, what Comparison price will be the overegged RRP
Buy twoEven if you don't want a watch, just buy it.
That has to be his most stupid comment although there are so many it's hard to be sure.Even if you don't want a watch, just buy it.
He says it over everything, only Muriel does that mind, in ordering it if you don’t need itThat has to be his most stupid comment although there are so many it's hard to be sure.
Agreed. It's tough out there.It kind of comes back to the same thing. Present day, with all the access we have to the likes of Amazon, Ebay, Temu and literally thousands of other retailer websites, how often can a channel like IW (or Shop on TV) actually put up a product that genuinely represents good value compared to all the aforementioned others? Add to that the fact people are becoming ever more savvy about 'checking the net' first to see what others are charging. Granted maybe not the older demographic however the younger gens coming through are.
I (increasingly) just don't get it and it's why I conclude we must surely be seeing the last days of selly telly, with some possible exceptions e.g. QVC and maybe the good craft channels.
Very well put, Duke.It is as if to combat their very poor pricing in general to elsewhere, some bright spark in ‘charge’ decided to use these appallingly disingenuous non-sourced price comparisons to hide the fact how uncompetitive they actually are. Instead, they could actually be honest about their pricing levels and sell on the basis they are more expensive but promote other incentives to buy- loyalty points, excellent customer service, flexible returns policy, a discount membership scheme etc..Things that for customer commitment for a longer-term relationship, would make them competitive for value overall. They clearly cannot be arsed to do any of those things, and take the easy option of comparing their goods with goods nothing like them in quality to create a false picture of the value they purport to offer. One or two (or one) of the more transparent presenters refuse to use the more outrageous ones offered to them. The rest are happy to embrace and even encourage them for their sales pitches.
