All grand there. But then she goes on to discuss this week and TPC and how 98% of the comments were positive but there was some "negativity". She seems to think people questioning the price point is somehow negativity? How? And from what I saw, 98% positivity is an overstatement and then some. Every second comment was a complaint about the price. I've seen another side to her this week and I'm not sure it's one that I like. Not only that, but she seems to be featuring her husband on the business side of things more and more- and what was once me supporting her going it alone, has slowly turned into a business partnership between the two of them. He even joined her on The Late Late when she was on to promote the Pocos. He seems to have abandoned his own career in tv to hang off her coat- tails. I wouldn't be mad about him at all at all. Anyway that's my rant for the day done.

As they get more successful the TV game probably became pointless. Haven't seen the snaps but she did comment on an instagram post by letsnotberippedoff which I thought wasn't like her.

Any key? wrote: » was just on her Instagram there. looks like all the negative posts have for the most part been deleted. Looks like she wants us all to believe everybody thinks it's a super price for a diary and a candle! come on does she think we were born yesterday? She's clearly trying to make her brand a high price range luxury item but the bottom line is it's a "blogger" product. Nobody with half a brain will feel like they have purchased a designer, indulgent treat. It has Pippas feckin name on it and is the same as most blogger product tack. I'd pay max about 25e for either product and at that would feel ripped off. She clearly isn't living on the same planet as the rest of us.

Then she got the girls on board to help with the website etc and now it's him and her running the score because RTE gave him the highland fling and tv3 toy show was cancelled. He seems to be the driving force behind some of her most recent ideas and fair dues if so- but a touch of reality wouldn't go amiss. We don't all have hundreds to squander on frivolous shlt. Wouldn't it be lovely if we did!

wyrn wrote: » That’s crazy. I wonder if she might have an over zealous intern looking after her social media accounts? Perhaps this is why she created a new Instagram account. Either way, to cut off all (perceived) negativity is not good business practice. She’s literally getting free feedback which seems to be pretty similar and she’s actively ignoring it. I bet they (candles & planners) will do well to start with because of curiosity and die hard fans but they’ll be little uptake on repeat orders. Can’t see it being sustainable at that price

That’s a designer price from a blogger and before the pop up shop, nobody knew anything about quality, fit etc but women bought them in their droves because, OMG Pippa. She’s sold ove 25k tickets for fashion factories, thats a quarter of a million euro. These same women will lap up these diaries and candles. I can’t remember, did anyone give out about the price of the jeans though? I don’t remember her giving out about comments and letting it bother her like she did tonight.
