It was so long ago and I have forgotten most of the details.
If someone remembers the details better than I have I would appreciate their input. //
rhino almost anything Eric can do to promote the co is a higher priority. The photos do not promote the co at all.
After all we have utube full of very descriptive, well made videos which are much more valuable to co promotion than the pics. IMO
rhino IMO he merely paid his way in to show the product.
Along time ago we had similiar shows/demos with another bunch of cos. I forget who sponcered the event. Of course the bd went wild over that effort but it failed. All talk about it just faded into the sunset.
To me he still has to prove himself even with the 40 appointments. I'll give him credit for setting up the demos but it's just appointments, it does not guarantee contracts. //
rhino don't forget Fantus.
It just seems the more people expect from these gurus the less they perform.
Maybe they don't get orders from Eric because he can't give out instructions if he is too busy scrubbing off grafitti.
I'm still laughing at those pics. The first time(s) pics like that were posted I thought they were cute, a nice approach but they have absolutely no place in a grander scheme. An insult to peoples intelligence to take those kinds of photos anymore.
As TH said who is going to stop and ask where can I buy that wonderful product?
I also hope Eric will stop the international approach to building the co. Put all his time and effort into the US because without the US this co is toast. JMO.. //
upper11 he should have been doing that months ago. I can only hope he has been busy and successful. //
alskiski thats 281 kits since the last update from Ryan on 6/22. //
alskiski turn IBOX on.
Go down several pages to see the internet ad.
Then fill in the blanks. //
TAKI keep up with the posts. IMO it would have been a good thing if ant had posted the entire Eric emails including the
TIME STAMPS
Better yet IMO it would be better if Eric did not handle info distribution of important happenings by sending the info to any mods.

after hours on Friday and very early Saturday AM (like about 1:00am) on the followup'.
solar there is not only the fact that WMart wants to pay less for the product but it tells me the product is just not selling well.
I remember seeing the ads they were running and I believe WC was not in a bad location.
So many other products that sell well in WMart and almost every where else have the same pressure as WC yet they succeed.
Reason IMO the others sell well enough to get past the obstacles large chains like WMart place in front of them.
If I understand the ant info correctly, I am not too happy right now. //
TH appears the IIS was a good indicator of how well WMart ca was doing doesn't it? //
ant when did you get this info?? //
dennis another 1000 shares eh. Nice even incruments..
Well YOU just cant't be too careful can you? //
just an ant I just had a cum ba ya moment reading that.
Almost spititual. //
tc88ds don't waste your time.
All attendee slots have been taken up by WNBD reps.
You have about as good of a chance og getting in as TAKI does. //
sqeezer at least volume is low. LOL..
Sqeezer looking at Ryan's list it appears that Wed is a weaker day count for orders.
Wkends are the largest order count. IMO..
Still quite good. //
ant a 5.0 is not enough to shake the bs off of Dennis. LOL.
He just needs a good ol scrubbing with WC, full strength of course. //
Yes it is.. //

ibdave has the 2 wk DRTV officially ended now or is it still showing? Anyone know. //
TAKI he does realize he does not have to put 50K$ in the stock today doesn't he??
You did tell him he can invest less?? //
Rocket since you believe 'It would not surprise me if WNBD has a meeting with the signed national account right after this 2 week test.' then how successful do you feel the DRTV was? Your est number of kit sales to get prompt a meeting with 'the signed national account'
TIA. //
Ryan good numbers. Great they are holding up. //
scup just wondering what your thoughts were about this post from
Tiburon on Thursday?

Lancaster has been busy,
Maybe this is why store updates are slow in getting reported.
But I believe they are still happening.
http://www.tiburon.ca/wnbd/MeritGroupPressReleaseAvenelFacilityJune152010.pdf
This url to me explains alot about the lack of store updates and since the new facility does not open until sometimes in the 4th qtr 2010, it looks like we may have a longer wait for the updates to continue at least from Lancaster.
I was wanting an explanation for the lack of store updates, this may have been it.
Tib thinks the store updates are still happening.
The only conclusion I can come to is if the new stores are not being reported on the locator they have not happened as of yet.
Several questions could be posed at the CC because of Tibs url. Hope someone asks them if Eric does not discuss the situation with the bd before the CC. IMO..
We really need to get alot more stores added to the west coast, Cali., Oregon and Washington. About 46 mil people.
Hopefully our Cali guru has been working and will divulge some juicy numbers for the CC.. //
Ryan I'm surprisewd how consistent it is.
I honestly thought the count would be dropping by now. //
scup nope.. //
Ryan some better channels, time slots and drop the non performers, this thing could explode.
I have only seen it on Family Net. What other channel have been confirmed so far.
Pleased with the consistency. //
Trusting Him the USPS is technological dinosaur unable to keep up with the changes. //
scup not me, LOL..
Learned my lesson.. //
scup aI looked in my Mail box ant there was a key to open the big box where large items are put by PO. The key would/did not open the box. Now I have to call the PO tomorrow.
I think this is my last order for WC.
I paid to have it delivered to my door by FedEx and not have to fight with the PO. //
Lb it's about as significant as 4997 stores.
We need to have the new stores , at least most of them added to the US...
Strange my order came to Wichita Ks yesterday via FedEx but the order was then sent and delivered by USPS.
At least that is what FedEx tracking says.
I have not seen the delivery yet and will probably have to go to the PO to pick it up eventhough FedEx could have delivered it.
I need to go to pick up the mail to see if there is a delivery/pickup notice for me.
I could understand if the deliivery was shipped in total from the shipping point by USPS but to haul the package to my home city via FedEx and then let USPO finish the job well I just don't understand.
Unless WNBD saved a few cents. //
Sorry typo on my part.
'Either an unseen type'
should be
'Either an unseen typo'
TIB if the store additions are still happening as you think but just not being reported to WNBD, it seems to me since Eric knows if orders are increasing to Lancaster, maybe due to store ## and not neccessarily reorders, indicating more stores than mgt knew about then he could let us know.
There should be no NDAs associated with the Lancaster initiative, IMO.
Or maybe my line of thinking is just my alzheimers acting up again. LOL.. //
Tib thoutht the following parts were interesting.
Agree this is probably why we have seen so few updates from them and it appears to me that we may get more of the same at least until sometime in the 4 qtr of 2010.
'Shipping from the new facility is planned to commence in the fourth quarter of 2010.'
'Spartanburg, SC – June 15, 2010-The Merit Group, Inc, parent company of Lancaster
Distributors and Five Star Group, the largest paint sundries distributor in the nation, today
announced the plans to open a new state-of-the-art distribution center in Avenel, New Jersey
(Woodbridge Township). The new distribution center will replace and consolidate current
facilities in Newington, Connecticut, East Hanover, New Jersey and York, Pennsylvania.
South America.'
Also was surprised to see 15,000 retail locations.
Either an unseen type or they got 2k more locations from the original 10k + 3k we knew about.
'The Company services over 15,000 retail locations including leading national,
regional and independent paint chains, home improvement centers, hardware stores, lumber
yards and drywall yards through its ten regional distribution centers'.
I complained about the pop-up ad. Now I am getting it with just about every post I open. //
ballantyne looks like mine will not be here for a while eventhough mine shipped like yours last Friday.
Shipment Dates
Ship date Jun 11, 2010
Estimated delivery Jun 19, 2010

ballantyne when did it ship?
Mine shipped last Friday but so far no show. Probably this afternoon. //
Ryan Canadian stores apparently.
US additions would be more desirable IMO. //
sqeezer locator says 4967 now.
Did you typo? //
