Reunite for Rugby!
Posted by chrisd | Filed under General News, Interior Trends, Outdoor Trends, Uncategorized
Whether you’re jetting off to New Zealand or staying put in the UK, we British all love a good sporting event. It’s a chance to get together, celebrate our nations triumph (hopefully) and most importantly to have a good drink!
I’m guessing most of you saw the England vs Argentina match on Saturday morning. We had an awful first half but managed to recover it slightly in the second to just grasp a victory of 13-9. However, Wilkinson’s kicking was really poor and he’ll need to improve if he wants to maintain a starting position. I’m really looking forward to seeing the rest of the group fixtures.
If you’re a rugby fan I’d like to hear from some of you to let me know some predictions for the World Cup, maybe let me know who your favourite player is and why or even your greatest rugby memory. I think I can guess! That moment when Jonny Wilkinson scored that drop kick in the final seconds of the 2003 World Cup final to win England the cup? I thought so. It doesn’t get much better than that.
If you’re planning on having a World Cup party then why not splash out on a couple of comfy bean bags? Some bean bag material is designed for use indoors AND outdoors. That means you could have a few mates over for breakfast/lunch and give them a comfortable seat for the match and then possibly take them outside for a few beers while the sun is still shining. They are undoubtedly one of the best TV watching seats you can get.
I’m already prepared and have two Bazaar Bags in my house. Take a look, I bet you just have to get one!
I think we have a good chance of winning this year with a nice mixture of younger players and more experienced players gives us a good variety which other teams may not possess.
Come on England!

Gamer Survey
Posted by david | Filed under Uncategorized
As part of our ongoing customer research, we recently asked 200 gamers to tell us what they look for when buying a gamer chair. We thought we’d publish the results on our new blog as we found them quite interesting.
We asked 200 gamers to choose the most important aspect of a gamer chair, with the options available limited to Price (i.e. cheap), Manufacturer/Brand, Functionality (speakers, vibrator packs etc), style or quality.
Interestingly (especially in the current climate) only 12% of respondents selected price as the motivating factor. Of those 12%, the average price they expected to pay was £42.
Another 12% of respondents selected style as the motivating factor, with the average price they’d expect to pay coming in at £67.
Just 6% of respondants selected Manufacturer/Brand as the reason they would buy a product, with the average price they’d want to pay a lowly £41. This suggests no single brand has captured the market yet (good news!) and that current popular brands are viewed as budget brands.
34% of respondents cited functionality as the main reason to select a product. This group of gamers are also prepared to pay for the extras with the average price they would consider fair coming in at £110.
And last but not least, 36% of gamers chose quality as the main reason for selecting a product, with £84 the average price they would pay.
So, what group would you fall under? Let us know by commenting below.
