Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 I'm not sure if anyone has done anything like this before, but I was looking around online the other day and started to send e-mails to baby clothing makers to implore them to please start making all of their clothing with snaps down both legs, and to offer options with the snaps and no footies. And to make more socks with grips on the bottoms. I've contacted several manufacturers already, but was curious if anyone else has done anything like this. I work for a Marketing firm and I know firsthand that customer feedback can have a great impact, especially in a specialty market. I also ask to speak with managers at the clothing stores like the Gap and Old Navy. It works quite well when Aleksander is with me....he smiles at everyone right now and charms their socks off! When I spoke to someone at the Gap, they said that they had just completed a study amongst parents (general population so I'm sure clubfoot wasn't an issue for them), and they requested the snaps as well. I've noticed now that most of the pants at the Gap have snaps. I just wanted to encourage everyone, when you are on a site for a manufacturer, take a minute to locate their " contact us " section and send off a quick e-mail. If you are interested in doing this and would like a copy of the e-mails I've been sending, I'd be happy to forward it on so you can save a minute or two. Most places respond back, saying thanks for the feedback...which doesn't amount to much. But at least I feel like I'm doing something instead of just complaining about how difficult it is to find reasonably priced clothing that fits our needs. Of course, by the time they start making the stuff, I won't need it, but at least another parent will benefit. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 , this is a great idea! Although we're past the stage of needing the snaps, it would be a great benefit for other parents. I'd love to see your emails to give me an idea of what to write. You can email me directly at daiga.grady @ ns.sympatico.ca (without the space).
