A SPECIAL THANK YOU

FROM BOYDS!

First I would like to Thank those of you who participate in the Boyds Ear Tag Survey I posted on the messages boards.

Here is one of the two thank you notes that I received from Boyds about the Ear Tag Survey results and ideas you all had.

I guess they forgot the first letter they sent me....

                                                                                                    4/15 98

Dear Boyds Bear Customer,

Thank you for your letter. Because Gary Lowenthal. the Head Bean, is so very busy working on new and exciting products for all his Boyds collectors, he doesn't have time to answer all the hundreds of letters that arrive each day. However, he wants you to know he really does appreciate all your ideas and suggestions sent in. They are all important to him. Gary can not make promises that he will use every idea or suggestion, but they will be considered.

Thanks again for your interest in the Boyds Collection.

     Thank you for the March 30th Internet messages you sent to Gary. We really appreciated receiving this information.

Thanks again & we apologize for our delay in sending you this card.

                                                                            Take Care,

                                                                               Laura

These two letters shows that they do really care and that they do not just toss ideas out. Look these letters are about the same survey. They are dated in different months and by two different women.

I'm Proud to be a Boyds Collector!

The Ear Tag Survey was so close half would like to see ear tags or at least a change in the way Boyds have them now and the other half thought to leave them as is.

So as of now, we know that the survey I sent them is making it's way around The Boyds Collection Ltd. and all we can do now is watch in the future the new lines that come out for any changes in their tags.

Thanks again for contributing to the survey!
