Mark and Graham

[weardogbride]

Have any of you heard of Mark and Graham? It's a new brand in the Williams Sonoma family. Adorable personalized items. I have an opportunity to be a "trunk show merchant." Essentially, I would try to put on trunk shows for the brand and also target businesses for corporate gifts, etc. I'm a bit conflicted: I have to buy my own demo product but make a 20% commission on sales. As of right now it's not MLM, but it seems like they may want to take it that direction and I am not a fan of MLM in general. The items seem like they would be fun to sell and I'm not expecting to make six figures a year doing this. So, would you attend a Mark and Graham Trunk Show? Trying to get opinions on the brand and the products before I make a decision.

I've heard of them only because I've ordered stuff from a potterybarn and now I've been getting M&G catalogs. Some of their stuff looks cute.

I am a firm believer that employers pay me, not the other way around, so I would not want this particular opportunity.

I have ordered a few things from there and like their stuff.

No way in hell would I host a trunk show.

I guess I would be doing this as more of a hobby and for some fun money. I have absolutely zero interest in recruiting other merchants, but the B2B aspect is intriguing to me.
