I wonder how many of the chosen ones are wishing they’d got the party bag from wedding number 1 instead of jam.

Fair play to any firm who is willing to openly associate themselves with this venture. Not everyone thinks ridicule is an acceptable bedfellow for a brand.

That takes balonz.

Grin Grin

Howling at the idea of the pics being takeen at a cannabis farm though; if that's true it would be so appropriate, what with Harry's use and what Meghan considered appropriate to offer the guests at her first wedding

Then again it would explain so much ...

A cannabis farm?
That could not be more appropriate 😂

This is another example of their poor grasp of PR. There would be hundreds of other appropriate properties that wouldn't cause people to snigger about wedding favours etc but they chose that one.

Maybe she's selling a range of jam jars for a new kitchen range, and that's the product, that it was never jam that was going to be sold at all.

what the plain hexagonal jar ?
Terrible idea !
If she actually paid money for this sort of advice , then she should demand a refund and if this is her idea , she clearly needs a lot to learn about marketing. The whole "product" is lost in a sea of lemons.

this is clearly a soft launch that neither went good nor bad , needs revision and within time will take off.

Did someone say lemons?

I think that could work @wordler and I hadn’t thought of that.

AnnieSF · 02/05/2024 15:35

It's all gone a bit flat hasn't it? The release , the gifting to influencers , the posting of some jars and now what? Nothing ?

Even Bouzy had stopped posting about them when I looked yesterday. Maybe he’s mad he didn’t get any jam, or else he got jam and doesn’t want to about post it?

Or he did get some and has had the squits since!

I think it’s a long promo launch for the cooking series and the cooking series itself will be the promo launch for the lifestyle products.

She won’t be selling jam - she’ll be selling all the kitchen stuff used to make jam - there will be fancy copper pans, crockpots, etc. And there will be product placement deals for big name equipment like KitchenAid etc.

I also think this is the likely strategy. It doesn’t do anything to address the antipathy people feel towards her though. A lot more work needed there.

MrsFinkelstein · 03/05/2024 08:59

I think the same @wordler , but it's the worst long launch I can remember.

They shouldn't have started anything until the show had completed/almost completed filming (it hasn't even started yet, so will be months before it hits the screen), or she should have been releasing short clips of her cooking/baking/gardening on their IG page to raise interest and to establish her credentials and presenting style.

Or she could be trolling the world and is laughing at all the reactions.

I doubt it - this venture has apparently cost her/them a huge amount of money and is pretty much the last roll of the dice for them professionally.

I think it’s great that they have projects in the works. The execution of ARO has so far been odd but I hope it’s successful financially and otherwise.

BemusedAmerican · 03/05/2024 12:31

Google HD Tudor's The Other 46 on YouTube for a hilarious deadpan discussion about the other jam recipients.

I agree, I hope she gets it off the ground and brings in an income.

So do I, then they can stop trying to claim and maintenance or benefit from being the Royal Family of the UK taxpayers that they loathe so much

ironic for two people who so desperately just wanted a private life away from the nuisance of the media that they so constantly put themselves in the spotlight

IcedPurple · 03/05/2024 12:57

I don't care if it's a success or not. The world doesn't need another lifestyle brand.
