Visit Your Favorite Brand

Do you have a favorite brand that you like to use all the time? Did your favorite brand go up in price recently? Did your local supermarket quit carrying your favorite brand and now the only way for you to get it is to drive all the way across town? Well, for me the answers would be Yes, Yes and Yes!! and the item would be my favorite laundry detergent...

I was at my local supermarket picking up a few needed items for the house when I noticed that my favorite laundry detergent had a closeout sign in front of it, along with a clearance price. Oh No!! Not my favorite!! They were still going to carry the brand but not my favorite scent. The closest place to get my favorite scent was now on the other side of town, out of my way. What was I going to do? I really loved that scent. I had others comment on the great smell of my clothing.

I finally logged onto my computer, visited my favorite brands website, and clicked on their "Contact Us" button. I explained to them that my local supermarket was not going to carry my favorite scent of their brand anymore and the only place to get it was going to be on the other side of town. I let them know how much I really liked the scent and did they happen to know of any other locations a little closer to me that I might be able to purchase it. They responded back to me almost immediately with several locations that I would be able to purchase my favorite scent and a link from their website to print out coupons for money off to use towards the purchase of my favorite scent. Yeah, Coupons! We all love coupons right, well, imagine my surprise when in the mail a few weeks later I received a Thank You for contacting them and letting them know how much I liked their brand and more coupons, only these coupons were for FREE bottles of detergent. Yeah!!

The next time you have a product or a brand that you have a problem with or one that you really like, let the company know. These companies depend on us the consumers and they like to hear how they are doing. You never know, you may also be the recipient of SAVINGS!
