As far as I understand it we can "mention" competitors products in a generic way on our blogs but can't be specific and certainly can't add a link on our blog to make it easy for our blog chums to visit and purchase the product.<br /><br />I'm guessing your promotion of Ten Second Studio products may be to blame? I think you can get PERMISSION from SU to do work for other companies though . . . <br /><br />If a fellow blogger was behind this, it's a shame they didn't ask you if you knew about the policy first though.<br /><br />Off to browse the rest of your blog now! xSarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12174058971522723860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765964504199008697.post-25620588444648692452012-04-26T18:30:38.879-05:002012-04-26T18:30:38.879-05:00Ahhhh, yes!

I gave up my demoship when SU insisted that every demo sign the new demo agreement that we would NOT use any other competing product from other companies. Like you, I was a hobby demo and who were they to tell me what I can/cannot use and what I can/cannot post on my personal blog (which, btw, I NEVER had a link to SU at all....no indication that I was a demo)<br />And in all honesty, it was the BEST thing ever to happen to my creativity!! I discovered a whole new world of wonderful goodies and I can combine to to my heart's content! <br />And yes, I still use SU, just not as much as I use too! wink!!Starlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075522354027547485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765964504199008697.post-21373087296629805622012-04-22T06:59:46.414-05:002012-04-22T06:59:46.414-05:00But this is your personal blog, not a SU demonstra...But this is your personal blog, not a SU demonstrator blog. They should see it as a bonus if you mention their products on your blog!! <br />Rather puts me off buying any more products from SU - if they are so petty with their demonstators (and don't make them welcome at meetings etc either!), I don't think I want to be a customer any longer. <br /><br />Shimelle and numerous others work for/ demonstrate for/ design for more than one company and they are not pilloried for mentioning them all on their Personal Blog!<br /><br />Shame on whoever "brought it to their attention" and shame on SU for their petty and small-minded behaviour.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765964504199008697.post-9814404148405535832012-04-22T06:36:19.757-05:002012-04-22T06:36:19.757-05:00Vickie some sad people have too much time on their...Vickie some sad people have too much time on their hands...

I do like some Stampin Up product, tho, so I won't subject them to my ridicule. Like I do to Creative Memories. lol<br /><br />-koryKory Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17006302633730489284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765964504199008697.post-8096494566899766402012-04-21T04:45:19.324-05:002012-04-21T04:45:19.324-05:00OMG!

I do feel the world in general is becoming so blame orientated and the art of showing common courtesy is fading fast. I do feel for you, I'd like to think if I do anything wrong someone would tell me directly, at least I hope they would. Big hugs.

I can't believe that someone has been so spineless in that they couldn't come to you about it and rather, chose to have someone contact you to humiliate you. Anyone with any ounce of decency would, like you, drop the 'offender' a kind friendly email just helpfully pointing out that there may be a possible issue... <br /><br />So sorry you had to be on the receiving end of this... I hope the 'other' person has a conscience - but then they can't if they did what they did...<br /><br />Sending you hugs - now off to your WOYWW post xx<br /><br />Paula x x xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294286444278595836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5765964504199008697.post-28285830873049302392012-04-20T23:05:13.290-05:002012-04-20T23:05:13.290-05:00Oh brother Vickie!
