Somebody mentioned in another similar thread about "connection". The tribe mentality actually think LR is their friend. Her selling technique is such that these people think they know her and she cares about them. If you ever have absolutely nothing to do and really want to waste some time, check out her FB. She does give the idea by answering their inane posts that she knows them and is concerned.
Whereas, there is not that type of contact and communication with the CEO of QVC, Grandin Road, Macy's, etc. etc. LR has the time to answer their questions and post pictures of the sunrises and sunsets.
I give her credit for fooling so many people at once, but ultimately they are going to realize they can't buy everything she sells and support her indefinitely. There will be a limit somewhere especially when they do go elsewhere and find an item at a more reasonable price.
