What Are the New Items from Merrill?

[PCSarahjm]

I know your not suppose to let the cat out of the bag .... but could someone email me what the new items are from Merrill. I am not going to conference. I am wanting to order a few things but didn't know if I should wait until the
23rd to see what is new!!! [email protected]



Thank you

Really, it would do no good to give you a list - it will be much better when you can see pictures.

I mean, I can say - there is a nice shirt, and sweater, and some stickers.....but it doesn't really mean a whole lot w/o the pictures.

I know their stuff is pricey but that is the only place we can get logo stuff right???? Did they change business card styles or things like that? I am also wanting to get a stamper with the logo or do you think that is beneficial?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Some of their prices weren't bad.......$10 for t-shirts, button front shirts for $18 (I think).....and all of the stuff like postcards and stickers are the same prices basically that we have been used to.
I don't have a stamp, because I label instead of stamp....but I'm thinking of getting a stamp myself.......just to cut down on expenses.

Thanks Becky

I think I will wait until the 23rd to order from there just so I can get a shirt or two. I have a festival in Sept. I will need alot of business cards and such for it.

business cardsI'm in wave 3 and am anxious to see what clothing they have available!
I do my postcards and business cards at VistaPrint. You can't use the logo, but they have lots of neat restaurant/food backgrounds to choose from. You can also cutomize them to say whatever you want. You can even put writing on the back... good for a list of services or a space to write their booking info!
I made up a postcard there I put in my host packets offering them some little extras (quikuts and twixits) if they get outside order bookings for me. A lot of times you can get them for free or discounted and only have to pay the shipping... may want to look into this, especially if you need a bunch for a fair.
Hope this helps!

A note about Merrill's new clothing items - they are also (like AIM did), getting items from a variety of manufacturers. The sizing varies wildly! If you are going to conference (and I guess at this point, this is mostly a warning for Wave 3 folks), TRY THINGS ON!

Definitely try them on, I made the mistake of assuming a med would fit and I got home to try it on and it was kind of big!

Thanks for the warning. I hate trying things on! I guess it is mandatory. Do directors get access earlier since we arrive early?

Or, do we have to wat until it's announced like in the past?

I agree! I also use Vista print and they are pretty good. They are really good for new consultants who don't want to drop a bunch of money on bus. cards before they really start making $$. That's why I used them and eventually might get the PC ones but for now they work great!

The silver lining to this is that for once I can say I wear a size smaller than I actually do! It's like Merrill is trying to make me feel good or something! They are pretty big though. One of the sweatshirts was GI-Normas! The small looked like it could fit me and I normally wear L or XL.

I was really surprised about how things fit me too.. but tired things on.. and now I will order them online it was the difference for me was to pay tax or to pay shipping I choose shipping because their is no sales tax in Oregon
