Bollie Brand

So I buy/wear a lot of workout pants and have been looking for something new. The bundle deal with the pants and the bra popped up and I thought you know I need something with some color and this price isn't really any more than I pay at Lululemon. I did okay until I got to the shipping page and they wanted $8.99 to ship them. NOPE! If everybody else in the country can ship for free they can too. I'll never look at the website again.

This may have been mentioned.... but it is completely obvious that it is Bonnie running the instagram. The wording, phrases, and snark are all her. She also posts them on their own account. So what does Ellie do??? Lol
Bollie might just get in the way of the pregnancy.

Jared might be the one running the website? No way the faq section was written by Bonnie or Joel. It was written too well, and the BS almost seemed like professional PR.

With how well-written it was, I knew Jared had to be the one to write it. There's no way Ellie, Joel or Bonnie wrote that.

The "how come" your prices are so high phrasing reminding me of Ellie, though.

Do they have any idea what custom means? Every piece of clothing in any store or website is designed by someone, it doesn’t make them custom. And when I can go on any cheap clothing website and type in wrap dress and find multiple dresses that look pretty much identical to their dress you cannot call it custom at all. There is absolutely nothing unique about their clothing or their accessories. Their clothing is ugly, basic, overpriced, cheaply made garbage.

Well, in a manner of speaking, the Bollie clothes ARE custom. They were custom-made for "tiny" Ellie. Because obviously everyone who watches family vlogs on YT is 5'2 and a size 0, and people just looooove the sisters so much that they're dying to overpay for the privilege of dressing just like their idols.

Yuck.

And yes, there were a lot of ways to start a "brand" without relying on Chinese labor and excessive pricing. There are plenty of peripheral Griffiths/Mechams/Hoelleins/Whatevers, or members of the church community, who would probably jump at the opportunity to help manage things so that Bonnie could keep on drinking cough syrup and napping, and Ellie could continue to obsess about pregnancy like it's her job (and also nap).

Or God forbid, start a different type of business that doesn't rely on exploiting their vlog audience and can be run by the husbands. Bollie is a very expensive vanity project, not a way to support the families when YT falls apart for them.

Does anyone else think it's funny that the FAQ page has no actual useful information for customers? I know there isn't much to their company, and they do have separate pages for return policy and the customer service email, but those kinds of general info are usually what you find in the FAQ. Not a lengthy response to the 3 main complaints of "internet haters". I'm okay with them addressing those topics, but at least for your own dignity make up some other questions to answer! It's so obvious they are running this only as a YouTube related business, and it's a just a big joke

I love the part in the faq under one of the China questions where it says “they were grateful that they had been selected to produce our clothing” reading that rubbed me the wrong way

I'm just going to leave this here. Lol that they are advertising on guru gossip. I guess haters are okay if when you're trying to sell your crappy products.

I don’t think they are targeting a Guru Gossiper in their ads. It’s more likely that they are not smart enough to filter it out.

I don't know about all of you, but when I've shopped for clothing online, very rarely does the business offer FAQ's about where and why the item was manufactured and priced. Obviously with how shady they were trying to hide the fact the items were made in China, they decided to put a passive aggressive FAQ explaining themselves. How professional.

Also, look at how much updates they've made to their business site because of how unprepared they were to go live! Things such as sizing chart (which is a complete joke), material, Pop-Socket removed, FAQs, etc. Definitely not a reputable or trustworthy business.

I wonder how many online apparel businesses are laughing their butts off at them with no experience in e-commerce.

Aaahhhh
What clowns.. Yeah, Clowns...

The FAQ reads like Jared talking to his BFFs at preschool drop off

Exactly! Not targeted, but carelessly allowed to be there. let's see if the ads disappear now or if they have no problem targeting people who post on gossip sites.

Gee, I wonder who will be running their booming bollie brand business while they are gone in Mexico? Who goes on vacation a few months after launching a business??????????? Not a successful one, that's for sure.

Also, I'm sure Joel and Jared will be keeping eachother company.

Well, online ads are now based on your own browser history and cookies.. If you would go to GG using incognito-browser or clear your browsing history and cookies, or log out from google chrome, you probably would not see that ad. Bollie probably paid for certain visibility to an advertisement company and then the ad company paid google that ad to be shown on certain places.

E.g. I went to booking.com and now I see an ad of the same accommodation I was checking out EVERYWHERE. No matter which site I go to, I see that ad from booking.com
I assume you went to bollie.com and clicked to see more info about the product.

I understand I am seeing the ads due to my habits and not theirs (though I haven't visited the Bollie site since launch week) but they aren't preventing their ads from showing up on gurugossip. This explains what they should be doing but that requires effort and that doesn't seem to be their goal with Bollie. https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2454012?hl=en

So if they're using pay per click, the more times you click on the ad, the more they pay. It gets expensive when people click but don't buy...
To.be really mean, keep clicking on the ad, and don't buy anything.
