Free Garden Catalogs

Why would you buy monthly from stores like SAMS, BJ'S, or Walmart versus Catalog Shopping for the same goods?

Some people I have spoken to and surveyed have concerns about shopping online or through catalogs when they need to buy cleaning products, vitamins, and personal care items that cost much less than shopping at the large grocery stores like Sam's, Walmart, and BJ's. I am a loyalty shopper of catalog shopping from a great wellness manufacturing company that researches, develops, and distribute directly to the customer. I get everything I need except for meats and food products and I am saving alot of money monthly instead of shopping at the local grocery store. Plus they send me a thank you check when I refer customers and those customers open an account with the store. All my products are safer for the home and clean better than the dollar store brands so what's your opinion would you be a regular store shopper and waste money and not get a check or a regular catalog online shopper and get a thank you check no matter how much the amount is?

1. In regards to your question: Consumers do not generally buy monthly, any certain product, except for prescription medication. In most cases its a "as needed" basis. In regards to the company your representing: Products from Melaleuca are no better than the ones from any brand store. The lotion still has to go on the skin....spills on the floor are still wiped/mopped up...grease accumulated on stove tops have to be degreased. They eventually end up in some waste water. Having Wellness products are just a gimmick to entertain the stay at home mom reaching for salvation from daily household drudgery,on an environmetal family oriented issue. These things have to have certain criteria....fast and easy in this day and age. Cleaning is not fast and easy. If the average consumer actually reads the bottles on cleaners of any brand, for example, they would notice the same ingredients on other types of cleaners. Detergent enzymes from Melaleuca are just that....detergent enzymes. The same found in Tide,All, and other brand liquid detergents. The average person has no idea what's in those bottles and it would be exposed to children(more explained below and with MSDS). This product is listed as a disinfectant http://www.saferforyourhome.com/sol-u-guard.htm This MSDS(Material Safety Data Sheet contains no information on what is used in the product, other than thymol) http://www.saferforyourhome.com/pdf/SolUGuardBotanical%208-10-05.pdf Quote: "thymol may possess abuse potential." See " Biological activity" within thymol link in source. In comparison: Pine Kleen...general disinfecting cleaner. http://www.supercoproducts.com/msds/MSDS-Pine%20Kleen.pdf Only to show you, and I'm not downgrading the company with environmental or safe claims, here is an MSDS of Ivory soap. http://www.fsafood.com/msds/vault/001/001707.pdf Somewhere within an MSDS is going to contain what is within the product. It has to. Governed by law. I have looked for other sheets containing data on Melaleuca products with no results except for the disinfectant. "Safer for Your Home Better for Your Family" http://www.melaleuca.com/Introduction/?langiden=1 As far as Melaleuca boasting it doesn't need child resistant caps, on their webpage detergent video introduction,.....that's wrong in my opinion. You don't lock your salt up and thats even more dangerous than people realize. You can eat a pound of salt in one year, but not in one setting. Even sea salt.....the friendly alternative to iodized salt. Melaleuca Oil also known as Tea tree oil. Make note of "Safety" on following link. This is mentioned as melaleuca oil is present in one product called "Lemon Brite" and in a first aid kit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_tree_oil This is not a deal from Melaleuca. http://www.melaleuca.com/ps/index.cfm?f=ps.productDetail&pid=1907&pType=0&intcmp=ph_1907 Whats missing here is a first aid guide. Having melaleuca oil included within, should have guidance. This general first aid kit , from Walmart, has over 85 pieces. Both are on the same level as far as quality assurdness is concerned. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5601903#ProductDetail The difference is the price. Sorry, but my overall opinion for this company, in such brief glancing, is they are not worth vesting money into. You should not abandon them until you know more. I don't think you'll like what you'll find. Just do a search on the companys' name for reviews. Multiple compaints available below in souce.
2. it's about psychology. But I think that in the long time people will go for online stuff, when there is convenience
