Cash upfront in exchange for your Loyalty Customers. Somehow the Loyal Customers Platform is still not big enough to get their attention. On Facebook they just delete your comments or block you so you can't be heard there.

In the long run, I fear it will alienate its long term customers, not attract the new customer they seek (dropping $32 for an outfit and not caring if there are holes),and turn American Girl into a memory. Melody's movie did not reflect the book and Gabby isn't getting one. Personally, I like the improvements Our Generation has made in its doll products.

At one point last year I was told they only honored sale price differences within 24 or 48 hours (can't remember which). I had a receipt, but they made me get the item from the car, anyway. You are a very loyal customer at American Girl. Do you think talking with the store would help? Losing $100 on a sale is the loss of a lot of money. No joy to every girl here.The customer is always right, or so they say. <br /><br />I don't think that the new customers AG is seeking are going to pay $32 for an outfit that is sewn together and has holes in it from having to be cut from the package.

Everyone in God's eye is important , and it is too bad that we all loose sight of that for whatever reason. On the bright side, better to be rejected than accepted into a company that doesn't appreciate the talents you have. However, when those things happen they are very hurtful and hard to imagine that God has a something better planned for us. That is one of the lessons I liked about Melody's story. My girls were able to see/hear about how words and actions can hurt people. They read how talented Melody's family was and how God put them in the right place. We loved the story so much. <br /><br />Maxine, you are so right about AG getting you to pay full price, then they have a mark down or bundle sale. It is so sad that AG does this to their customers. I sometimes feel that I'm supposed to be grateful that they even make a doll, instead of them being grateful for me deciding to purchase the doll. It isn't the employee, it comes from the executive in the company. The CEO is usually the one with the last say. But maybe it is different in this situation, since Mattel owns AG. <br /><br />After I saw Melody's movie, it was the tipping point and I started a letter. I wanted to review it and trim it up. But, I noticed that all the comments, that I saw on FaceBook about Melody's movie were positive, so i began to question my opinion, and then I didn't see a comment from Tricia and Maxine, so I further thought I was making a mountain out of a mole hill. Now I'm going to dust it off and get back to working on it. I want to send it to the CEO of AG, see if I get a response, then maybe go upward to the CEO of Mattel. I also thought of sending it to the stockholders, but I'm not sure how, is there a Board of Directors for the stockholders, address, etc. My intention with the letter is for my voice to be heard, promote change. My girls do like their items and so do I, but really we have been buying less. They have found that the TM items aren't as fun as they think. They loved Grace because of the cooking aspects. They liked the cooking items more than the doll or clothes. I don't know if they have promoted any other activity like they did with the baking items and Williams-Sonoma. The girls really like the AG baking classes. They really like the learning more than the doll and clothes, but the dolls and clothes make the story come to life. This is something that AG has taken away. ariel2Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706959654966372087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966560382421058464.post-85696587165750298092017-01-03T10:44:46.438-06:002017-01-03T10:44:46.438-06:00THANK YOUTHANK YOUNonna @ mommysdollclubhttp://mommysdollclub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966560382421058464.post-60227452479418108522017-01-03T07:18:27.249-06:002017-01-03T07:18:27.249-06:00That chair looks exactly like the new My Life chai...That chair looks exactly like the new My Life chairs from Walmart that came out this fallAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966560382421058464.post-53881100025247953132017-01-03T07:15:53.460-06:002017-01-03T07:15:53.460-06:00It means she is probably a retired truly me #46......It means she is probably a retired truly me #46...=(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5966560382421058464.post-11038211105810911642017-01-03T06:27:50.892-06:002017-01-03T06:27:50.892-06:00I checked my tags, too and Lea, my 46 and Gabriela...I checked my tags, too and Lea, my 46 and Gabriela all have 2014 tags.
