I'm pretty familiar with Stephanie Jarvis views on 'local communities' and I can vouch for the fact that she has none whatsoever, other than using them to make herself look bigger and better. She just had to mention giving a donation to the local association (money that wasn't hers to begin with, but that never stops her from making it look that way), an association that was meant to revive the local restaurant but apparently still hasn't achieved that, but who cares, right?. And now she wants to make yet another donation? Because she finds it so important to support the local community? Wasn't she begging for support herself because her crumbling HMN is falling apart? What is it? Either you are poor and need to rely on the donations of others or you manage to take care of your own tit and might be able to support others. But not Stephanie Jarvis. She can be both: beg for money and then play generous with the stuff she received. Wonder woman, right? Only when she feels like it though. And obviously only when by doing so she secures more donations coming her way.

Her flog of the Christmas market also makes it rather clear nobody in her local community actually knows her or knows of her. They really can't be bothered by her. I found this out myself when I did a rather extended survey earlier this year, asking around in shops etc. If you go to neighboring towns and communities and mention her name or the name of her CHMN, people just stare at you.

Hubby will be back to see me soon so all is well in Sparrows world. (Haven't farted get though the nurses keep on asking!)

I have made around 200 bootleg Spode Steve/Daddy tiles for us nasty menopausal troll witches since July 2022. I thought this would be my last batch, but I have one more after this. I have tried to make one for each of us. It is hard because so many people come & go here, but I’m doing my best. If you haven’t seen yours, try searching your name by me in the tattle search bar. If you still don’t see it, it’s coming in my final batch. If you’re still unsure, please just ask me. Almost done and I mean it this time.

The Smug's could always get onto their bosom chum Fanny and ask to sell some in Pube's Pavilion gift shop. Fanny could use those boxes that will last a lifetime to hold up her sagging beams in the big tv room.

I am using night lights to heat my room because I cannot afford to turn on the heating. You are very out of touch with what people can afford.

€110 for a candle is an outrageous price for a candle, especially one that can't be smelled beforehand. You've misjudged your audience and the current economic climate. Maybe at about €50 but even that's pushing it.

 

[MRShavershamsdress]

Goodness that last one went fast! And the Smuglies truly have put their foot in it. I wonder how long the critical comments will stay up and if they’ll reply?

Yup.. these 2 comments sum up everything that needs to be said.
Very bad business decision, even worse timing...

There's way too many to delete it is a tsunami. I hope they haven't been idiots and invested a tonne of money. I also hope this isn't Patreon money. Not only has it seemingly flopped a lot of people seem affronted-they like to think they are high end but a lot of their viewers are probably watching in in a dream like haze and could never aspire to their lifestyle, instead of remembering how skint they were and how viewers helped them they have become big headed wankers. Humbling when you see that lady say she is heating her room with tea lights-I hope they feel ashamed. I imagine though the Smug's will be sneering at these people who pay for their lifestyle.

 

[Karma baby!]

The worst part is that they are going around liking all the comments praising them, and completely ignoring the critical ones...

Very very bad business decision... Our clients would receive a hard slap on the wrist if they acted like this with their audience!... Correction, we wouldn't let them do this launch, at this time in the first place!.. maybe at half this price and earlier, like early November to target Christmas Shoppers...

 

[ComtesseRose]

If the moon landing didn't happen was Stephanie Jarvis at Disneyland...?

I understand the price given that you went to Grasse as well. However, I cannot justify the cost even though I can afford it. I donated the cost of one candle to a community centre in the north of England because they’re struggling to pay for heat and food within the community there. Very sorry. I’m sure you will find success in selling these though.

Showing their arrogance again. They are not a brand, they have no other route to market and they pitched the wrong product, at the wrong price point. If they are only aiming at the niche market of the Chateauverse oh dear. The logo is ill conceived and poorly designed. All in all an own goal. They are not business people, they don't know about retail, or building a brand.

Don't get me wrong, the product looks very nice and I actually like the logo. It's just so painfully inappropriate...

Here is the thing, most of the YouTuber merch I have ever seen is somewhat overpriced. Because they know their "fans" will buy them. A hoodie for $50 or a hat for $40... But the difference is most of the YouTubers who do merch release, also do their research.
To me it seems like these 2 wanted a merch, and wanted it to be "posh".... audience be damned!

But then again, if MPK can sell a photocopy of his painting for 36 Euros, maybe there are enough people to pay 110 Euros for their mystery scented candles...

I gave myself vertigo going round and round this argument! I'm done now

The logo looks ok but it doesn't act as a logo because it is illegible and I wouldn't be able to tell you the name of the scent. Launching a brand needs to really go beyond their niche YouTube following to make it sustainable this is very ill conceived.

Michael's prints I think represent better value-they take little financial investment. Anna could have done wallpapers with a small firm that would have entered her to a new audience and also had some value to her followers. Wrong product, wrong time, no plan. I like the packaging and the candle too by the way but not the logo

Perhaps F4F went to Disneyworld to inquire if they had a room for her at Cinderella’s castle when the Dump caves in,

I love how this vlog captures the true spirit of Christmastime. Holy Grift! The price of these lovely candles is fine....in line with today's greedy, unnecessary corporate inflation! We discovered your excellent channel and Phillip"s admirable sense of humour via other chateaux channels but have become increasingly disillusioned with the abuse of Patreon by other vloggers;a good portion of this money ought to be donated to those in need of food,shelter or fuel. despite my critical words I do wish you all a very Happy Christmas and good health always.

I expect The Smugs will blame nasty trolls for their negative comments rather than accepting the fact they are trying to sell a incredibly expensive luxury item during a time of unprecedented austerity.
They’ve shown their true hand this time, they tried to back peddle about the Tesla / boat but it’s pretty obvious where they’ve set their standards and the dizzy heights they think they have climbed. Influencers? Nope, just snobs!
The higher one climbs the harder one falls and unfortunately they’ve just pulled the ladder out from underneath themselves.

I'm jumping, sorry... Is the candle paraffin wax? Soy? Bees wax? Says 'vegan' whatever the heck that is...

 

[MRShavershamsdress]

I’ve only managed to find two replies and they were to more or less positive comments. And then there’s Poppy Rex. Must be their own private Gooder.

I think Mr. Smug said mainly soy in his comments

I think the 36 Euro for prints is somewhat OK. If one likes his style, one can hang it on the wall and has something pleasant to look at for years. Much better price than the photographs of the other Michael.

But a candle for 110 Euro? How long will it last? Hours? Days at most!

How much did the elegantly living Nicolas sell his candles for?
