My Merrill Car Decals Paid off Today - Woohoo!

[Cindycooks]

So today I was picking up my little granddaughter from PlayDate (a drop in childcare center here) and at the same time the manager of the local sports bar (awesome food...we love it) was picking up his little boys. We happened to walk outside at the same time and he saw my car. Ask me if our spatulas were heat resistant up to 500 degrees. I said yep and he ask for a catalog. He said he had heard great things about our spatulas and wanted to be sure, plus needed a few extra things for his restaurant!! He is placing an order this weekend! If this works out - WOW! Super nice guy -well known in town, his restaurant is really taking off. I am so excited!

 

[laurichef]

Very cool!!
Still waiting for comments on mine -- aside from my DH not wanting to drive my car anymore....

 

[ChefBeckyD]

YEA!

Wow! Make sure he sees the new Mega & Master Scrapers too!

 

[Kitchen Diva]

Way to go! How exciting is that??? I just love it when something like that pays off, don't you!?

 

[vwpamperedchef]

Mine worked yesterday! We were at a stop sign at the end of my street and the lady next to us (two streets merge into one) yelled "hey are you a dealer?" (of course now my DH jokes about me dealing you know---illegal substances) but I got out of the car and gave her a catty!

Now she is hosting a catalog show!! I am so psyched! And validation that I didn't have to go to conference (bc I was going back and forth about it) I would have still been at conference yesterday and this would not have occured!!

Funny thing is that there is a PC consultant who lives across the street from me, but she doesnt have any decals. Hee Hee...

 

[lacychef]

Awesome!
OK, now you have me talked into getting mine...

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Darn Michigan Insurance laws!

So does this mean we are allowed to have them in NY? I'm not sure & I have mine in my trunk.,..

 

[minersmix]

Yes, I have mine on my car. They just cannot be blocking the back window or immediate side windows. My neighbor did my car when he started his own business I will try to attach a picture for you. He will put on it anything you want. He has been doing many commercial jobs and doing very well with it. If anyone wants information about the decals let me know.

 

[minersmix]

Well that did not work but I can email it to anyone who wants it while I figure out how to post a picture on here. Thank you.

 

[byrd1956]

Great you guys! That is wonderful! I got mine about 3 years ago and have only had 3 people approach me. I gave them catalogs, etc and followed up w/no results. No one has ever called me either. I must not be doing something right!

 

[minersmix]

ok, I am going to try this again.

 

[minersmix]

I am so happy that I figured it out. I even know how to change my avatar. Anyway, if anyone is interested in the decal let me know. Thanks.

 

[dannyzmom]

That's great, Cindy!

 

[DebbieJ]

ok, I am going to try this again.

The PC logo is trademarked/copyrighted and he could be in big trouble for making it for you. You could also be disciplined by the PC Home Office.

Decals with the PC logo are available from Merrill Corporation.

 

[minersmix]

Thank you for the information, I sent an email to HO. I was not trying to break any rules intentionally I just wanted to share my excitement and any information I can to this website as I find it extremely helpful and informative.

 

[Kitchen Diva]

Melissa, you could always order one from Merrill...
Yours is pretty, though!

You walk around with PC logos on your butt?!

 

[aPamperedBride]

Mine are going on the car as soon as we get back from vacation. I didn't want to risk having someone call while we are gone since I'll be out of the country and it'll cost $1.49/minute to answer my cell!

 

[Ginger428]

You walk around with PC logos on your butt?!

Why yes thats right!! And sometimes they Hurt sooooooooooooo bad.....

 

[minersmix]

Sorry, to have hijacked the thread. It is great when you are approached about your business instead of always having to approach others. Congratulations.

 

[krzymomof4]

I am not allowed to have it on my car either:cry:
DH law, not state! Our car is a lease and he doesn't want it put on it.

 

[kcont]

Some sign companies can buy trademark logos to use and I have seen the PC logo in these logo books. Our local sign maker has this book. Does anyone know which states don't allow this???

 

[laurichef]

I just have the logo, not my info. I figure it's the same as having the car dealer's name on the license plate cover (which somehow ends up on my car every time I go for service:yuck.
I'm kinda chicken to put my info on there in case some road rage psycho decides to stalk me.

 

[Fluffy215]

I'm ordering one today I called my insurance company because I had heard that with the decal on I would need to have commercial insurance. What they told me was as long as the car is registered under my name and not the company name I do not need to have commercial insurance and I am ok to put the decal on my window So psyched!

Thanks for the info. I was just worried because I heard if I put them on that I won't be able to drive on Parkways. I am waiting for someone from highway patrol to get back to me.

Am I confused or did she buy the top from Merrill, which HO approves, then added her info below that? How can they not approve that???

You can buy the logo from Merrill and then pay a sign shop to make decals with your info. That was not what she did.

Got my Merrill decal on Saturday....can't wait to get lots of phone calls now
Just my plain PC decal worked the other day; I practically got attacked by 2 gals wanting my info when they parked beside me & saw it, LOL! It was funny...they were like, "oh, do you have a card? we saw the sign on your car!" I did get their info too
