Hey all, if you are wanting more variety with their clothing line, please feel free to email them to voice your opinions! I and one of my recruits just did yesterday and hopefully with more suggestions they will listen to us??

We suggested "Bling" or rhinestone Tees, not just long sleeve, cause out here in Semi arid Desert ~CA we need tshirts !:(
And more of a variety for casual wear shirts: like Raglan or Babydoll styles for everyday wear with jeans (when you are out and about clothes) !;)
Finally I suggested a cute pink HWC shirt with some bling to it also!:D

Please email Merrill if you want more options and variety with clothing!:)
TIA!
 
I think we should all write to HO and make a suggestion that they authorize another vendor to compete with them.
 
Hey I like that suggestion even better!!!!
 
yeah. things are just too pricey... they've monopolized pc merch!
 
I agree.
How long was Nancy's a licensed vendor?
I can't afford most of Merrill's stuff.
 
I went there looking for pens that I could have my PWS & found out they have them....BUT the least you can spend is like 160.00 for a couple of hundred!!:eek:

That too, but didn't we already voice our opinions about letting Nancy's go and they still didn't listen to us!:cry: I'd love another clothing vendor that's got more modern appeal to them!:rolleyes:

You should check out Vista Print for the pens...cheaper and they offer a lot of freebies.
