Where can we buy these w/ our name, number and web sites on them?
I know they have some at Nancy's and Merrill, but they are just the plain, I would like more elaborate ones.

Or what about car magnets?
 
Not sure you can get them anywhere else beside our Registered Vendors? Merrill has the car magnets and stickers. We use to have another vendor that did them but no longer :O(!
 
I bought stickers from Merrill and then went to a local sign shop and they personalized it for me. You can only order them from nancy's or Merrill since they are the only registered vendors that PC, no one else will be able to do the PC logo.

I'm pretty sure what they are doing is illegal. TPC is very specific that we cannot use their logo on materials like this, nor take it to an unauthorized vendor for reproduction. Notice that they do not have the "®" after the TPC logo.

I was very blessed to get a T&C (prior authorized vendor) window decal with my personal information on it before they were discontinued. Right now, your only legal option is to do what Abey did (if you want it personalized).

I asked the Merrill reps at NC about personalized window decals, and they said that they were coming. But, of course, we haven't seen them yet 6 months later. The only way that will change is if we contact Merrill and let them know we are unhappy that they have not provided this (vital in my opinion) option.

HTH!
