Where's the Merchandise, man? UPDATE

Hey purple peeps- Just to update you all, I sent an email to support@lotusflow3r.com to ask if they plan on having an online store for purchase of Princely merchandise. the response I received was that they had no definate plans for a store, but if more members would show interest in a store (via email request) they would certainly consider one. SO... if u would like to have the opportunity to buy cool shit- drop them an email!! angel

What if we all email them and show interest in new content? Is that what it takes to get the damn site updated?

I was thinking it about time to send an email. While I fully respect that we've paid for a year, they still need to do regular updates. At the very least, there should be a new video every week.

They should know there is enough interest to put up a store.
How embarrassing, they ask us to show interest.....

Why not telling the truth, this reaction hopefully can't be.

Like U2 would ask if fans would like a worldtour.... confused

They probably have stockpiles of unsold merch from the NPGMC days they could sell.

i'm actually starting to think that only a 'small amount' of people signed up and thats why there are no updates.

setting up a store would be easy. there is no reason to not do it, unless there has been little interest in the site

Wow, paying customers ask a business to give them more opportunities to give them money -- after many such customers express disappointment over the lack of content they paid to have access to -- and they ask you to express more interest in sending them money (buying merchandise).

Y'all are good ones.

oh god it's the npgmc all over again where they would hint at other
stuff they could/might release but not before every member got one
more person to sign up.

who the hell am i gonna get to sign up? falloff even if i knew an
other person stupid as me to give prince their money, i would not,
never, direct them to his site.

why would i ask someone to pay 77 dollars for that site? i might as
well ask them to light their cigarette with a a 100 dollar bill and
it would probably be money better spent.

NPGMC had some brill tee's-i still have four or five-very cool especially the peace sign musicology and the ATWIAD ones. Shame we cant get them anymore. Funnily enough Annastacia was on this morning today-wearing the coolest black and white parade prince top-the cover pic i think .

they should have me build a store for them - instead of just t-shirts, I could print the artwork on all of these products http://designer.inktastic.com/

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Andrew, I am a subscriber to Lotusflow3r with the handle CerpinTaxt. I'm 20 years old and this is my first time joining a Prince site. I missed the boat for the NPGMC. As a paying subscriber, I greatly appreciated the beautiful site design and quick upgrades upon launch. However, what I really am looking for is a merch store. I know the NPGMC had shirts etc and even guitars. There are so many things I would like to buy now and in turn show my support of Prince. Please put up a merch store soon!!!!!

Thank You,
Andrew


Keep e-mailing guys!

Here's the reply I rec'd:

Hi Holly,

Regarding a merchandise store, although there are no plans at present, it's certainly something that those who make decisions will consider if it seems like our members want one!

But didn't they mention in the beginning that there will also be a merchandise section in the store????

Anyway what do we get here from Lotusflower.com? The Lotusflower album that you can get in stores for $ 13.00, some pictures that we all already bought with the 21 nights book and some old videos.

This is just a big tonk
