Lindell has been facing financial issues for months. In January 2022, one of Lindell's banks, the Minnesota Bank & Trust, described him as a "reputation risk" and cut ties with him a month later. And in June, Walmart, MyPillow's biggest distributor, pulled Lindell's pillows from its stores.
You should never mix business and politics. Customers come from all over the political spectrum. If Mike wants to sell to all of them, he needs to drop the side show.
I bet if Mike had just given Joe just 10% of what he has spent trying to give us fair elections, he would be stashing billions away now.
I can see 0’Biden telling Austin and Milley to order new pillows and sheets for every barracks bed and every ship bunk in the entire military from Lindell after receiving a nice suitcase full of cash from ‘The My Pillow Guy”.
Mike has a good heart and good intentions. Beyond that he is quite the loose cannon and dipping his feet too far into the lake. He was successful with my pillow (his sheets are scratchy and wrinkle), a lot of peoplce can support Trump, but he is no philosophical or political guru.
He’s made himself into a fool. He made all these promises about the election, then didn’t fall through.
He’s sacrificing everything for what he believes. That’s admirable.
Mike needs stop. Trump needs to tell trump to stop. $ does not equal results. Lawyers are next to worthless but require huge sums of money.
We need more Mike Lindells. I buy sheets and slippers and pillows and towels and dog beds regularly for Christmas gifts. Hope it’s enough.
The Left is happily putting him out of business.
the Best stuff is always beyond my budget and I can’t use a soft pillow at all. I did, however, for the first time in over 50 yrs buy 2 pairs of winter slippers. I get them today. If they fit right I will get my kids some also.
He’s blowing too much ad money on Fox.
Every televangelist says they’re broke too.
MyPillow will be a classic business school study. “How to turn fantastic success into fantastic failure”
Lindell produced a classic product that he hawked continuously on TV. He did a really fantastic sales job. Alas, he saturated his market for pillows and of course, sales disintegrated.
He then needed to keep the cash machine running and found new products to sell. He tried to sell sheets made from foreign sourced cotton and shoes for wear at home. He was in the retail, retail business now having no control over the products he was buying and then reselling.
He chose to believe that as super salesman he could sell at outrageous markups and his market would hold up. It didn’t.
Ultimately he was forced to discount his inventory to recover the invested cash. He revealed the scam to his customers. He reduced the price on the sheets made from nonAmerican cotton from $89 to only $39. It is not known if he was able to sell off the unsalable inventory.
Now he has reverted to the original model selling pillows. These are new and improved pillows using special threads that are said to be temperature sensitive and thus wonderfully sleep inducing.
And now, we learn he is running short of cash. One only wonders how much of his MyPillow cash was blown buying unsaleable sheets and shoes
I don’t think he should bankrupt himself over this.
