ToeSox Drops Pilates and Fitness !
Wednesday, January 11th, 2012Recently we received a call from our suppliers at ToeSox. They told us we are no longer allowed to sell their Products online..
We were Shocked!
The Santa Barbara Pilates Studio has been with ToeSox since their very start. We set up our account in 2007 with the Original Owner of the Co. And we were told then and again in early 2011 that we were allowed to sell their products online..
So for the last 4 + years we have been marketing their products to our Pilates and Fitness customers and the rest of the world. We like to back the products we use in our studio and offer them to our clients because we believe in them. Our Pilates Clients are always looking for new things and we take pride in offering the high quality merchandise we use in our Fitness studios to our clients.
Now to receive a phone call from ToeSox out of the blue. After almost 5 years of selling ToeSox online they wish us to stop.. Wow, what about a thank you for supporting them when they were an unknown?
Now they are so big they produce their Socks in China !… and won’t allow a Real Pilates Studio / Fitness Business to sell their wares for fear the will anger Amazon.com, whom they do allow to sell…
Sounds like Wal-Mart all over again.
Shame on you ToeSox!. You should be thanking us for showing your product to our customers that in turn buy .. from you and us. But to allow Amazon.com to sell the product , and not us . After we helped make your Brand name. That is just disgusting.
We choose not to do business with people like you who drop loyalties over mass profits and in turn damage the small business that you once were. Amazon.com obviously can buy truck loads of ToeSox , and the Small Business like ours can hardly afford to buy a box of your product, Much less advertise the product , educate the public as to why to buy your product, store and handle your product. We take the time to talk with the customers who buy from us on Amazon so they know everything they need to know about Toe Sox products. Almighty Amazon doesn’t, they don’t wear your products and don’t know what to recommend to customers! This is something a manufacturer should praise a small business for instead of punishing them!!!
So sad to see what ToeSox sense of loyalties has come to..
We will drop the ToeSox line from our inventory and recommended that all of our clients, friends and other ToeSox owners burn their ToeSox , record it on video and submit that to You Tube in support of our disgust that ToeSox would suddenly without any explanation tells us that our agreement is Void and we are no longer allowed to sell ToeSox on Amazon as a Platinum vender.
Show your support for Small Business that make the USA run.. Burn your Made in China ToeSox and post the video to You Tube in Support of Small U.S.A Based Business.. .
