When meeting with vendors do you....

When meeting with vendors do you....

When shopping around for vendors, do you mention LIW? Either that you saw their add, or that you are a posting member of the community? Do you tell them your screen name? Do you feel that it has gotten you a better deal, or extra perks?
So far I haven't mentioned LIW at all, but I'm thinking maybe I should have.

I have mentioned LIW and a few of them LOVE us (especially John from Flower Michele and Rebecca from Favorite Things)

Some vendors will either give you a discount or some free stuff because you mention that you saw them on LIW or they were recommended by a LIW member. If you know a LIW has used them, FM her and ask her what her 'real' name is so that you can tell the vendor who recommended you.

I have definately mentioned LIW! It is a great ice-breaker when talking $$$$. Also, they know that you are going to comparrison shop with the other B2B's, so I feel they are not trying to take advantage...because you are informed bride! It also shows them that their advertising dollars are not being wasted!
