However, Visions is still privately held, so the only people they would be fooling are themselves.<BR/><BR/>No, this was someone on the inside boasting about the big boost they saw in business last year.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous 10:17, your guess is as good as mine. I would say however that Visions is working hard to evolve their business (they may even start vacuuming regularly), and I would say that if they aren't successfully attachment selling, they won't be around long living off of video margins and volume rebates.<BR/><BR/>I guess that we're going to have to wait and see.Lee_Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01883046714531709404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24998935.post-61878134763190805042007-05-07T10:17:00.000-06:002007-05-07T10:17:00.000-06:00Interesting.

They've been the most price-agressive lately, in Calgary at least, so unless they were selling a ton of cables and warranty with every TV deal, they couldn't have actually made much.<BR/><BR/>As a competitor, I used to think of Soundsaround as being reliably the absolute lowest in town (or at least they're usually willing to be the lowest), but now it's always Visions. The best example was the Big Four event last year, which was started by Soundsaround years ago. Everybody else now has their own similar sale to compete over that weekend, but last year we found that it was people coming in with Visions flyers, not Soundsaround ones, asking to price match.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24998935.post-38735849462726234462007-05-07T08:25:00.000-06:002007-05-07T08:25:00.000-06:00How very kind of you not to include a later "resta...How very kind of you not to include a later "restatement of earnings" as one of the possibilities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
