Another Message from Someone Who Thinks We’re MK Inc.

By L J December 11, 2008 4 Comments

It’s always entertaining when we receive messages from visitors who think they’ve reached the official Mary Kay site.  I thought this one was particularly fun.

For 28+ years I have been a faithful Mary Kay consumer. Placing my last order a couple of months ago enlightened me to the fact that I can longer purchase your products. I realize that the economy has affected us all and most products have taken on a “they won’t really notice” agenda.

Well, I’m not in that “stupid” category of consumers, after all the years of using your products, that I could not see that you have drastically reduced the size of most/some products (eye shadow pallets while also changing the compact so the old ones do not fit). I realize we all have to downsize but, come on, this is a little too much to bear. It’s a shame as I really did enjoy being able to order a product I liked and not having to go into a store, but… your prices/sizes in today’s market outweighs my option to stay at home and shop! Thanks for the good years.

I hate to tell this person, but I doubt MK Inc. cares.

    I always wonder why they think PLH is MK.  But what she’s saying is true.  Everything in MK is being downsize and the same prices.  When I was a consultant I hated when they changed a product or took it out of the market.  My turning point was when I had built a loyal base of customers for the today mist which I sold a good $200.00 a month and all of a sudden it was out.  Instead of helping the consultant with their business,  they only think about themselves.

    Yep, they are downsizing everything EXCEPT prices. Looks like concealer is getting it this quarter, smaller size bigger price.  The eyeshadows are now 1/2 the size of the older versions – same price!  I don’t blame people for shopping at the stores!  $ 13 for a lipgloss?

    I hated the constant change too with the product…and I was only in MK for about 10 months…
    I don’t blame the gal that wrote the letter! You go girl…off to Walgreens you go! (I was gonna say Shoppers….but no one would have any clue what I was talking about) 😉  LOL!

    Uh, I really don’t get why people would think this was the MK Corp site….. looks like an I-D-10-T error.
