Hi all! I recently submitted my products for consideration to Macy`s. I got the "thank you, but no thank you" call this morning. They said they liked the product, the fun concept and the packaging, but that we just didn`t have enough sku`s (we have 12). When I asked her how many sku`s they were looking for, she simply said to check out other lines to get an idea. Has anyone else had this experience before?

I get this constantly from the bigs. Unfortunatly, that is why my major buyers are distributors. With twelve you would think you have enough, however with someone like Macy`s you have to take into account that alot of their product lines include 1000 pcs. of clothing in different fashions, all form one company.

We only have two sku`s so imagine my constant struggle with big companies.
