I've gotten 2 thank you cards. The 1st was the very first bag I bought and the 2nd card was from a different LV store all together. I don't know either sa. I don't even remember if they were male or female. I would think any good sales assosciate would send thank yous just for the simple fact that if the customer were to return they would remember that and ask for that particular one.

From my experience, I think it is more about your relationship with your SA and how much you spend. Maybe the whole image thing is a factor as well, but not a big one. I dress in jeans & sneakers 24/7 and my mom has absolutely no sense of style at all...yet we still receive gifts, invites, catalogues, and holiday cards from our SA who bends over backwards to get us the pieces we want. Perhaps we just get the VIP perks but are not actual VIPs 
Agree
with treating people the way you want to be treated and showing appreication. I don't believe it has anything to do with "How you look" 
You're right that it's not about a set amount that you spend.
But it's also not about having a relationship with an SA.
You basically get selected when you fit the clientele type they are looking for. They'll see you, you can't just 'work' your way into the title.
Sorry, but if you just doesn't 'have the look' then really being 'nice' with your SA is cool and all, but it doesn't mean much.ush:
Totally not true
it may not be completely about how you look, but seriously, you have to notice that attractive or very stylish people get better treatment than others... And since LV is a luxury brand, it would make sense that they would want attractive people to carry and promote their line. I mean, take me, I buy certain items only because I see celebrities or attractive people with them. It just a cheap marketing trick that's been around forever. Cause who doesn't want to look and appear glam?

Yah, I agree. It has a lot to do with your relationship and if you are a repeat client.
At my work, we don't have such thing as VIP/VIC. We do, however, stay open and open early for special guests that spend thousands of dollars. It's a combination of your Sales Associate and your personality. Someone who is rude and complaining is not going to have the store opened early for them to privately shop. Now say you come in every month, treat the SA nicely and drop 10K...your gold 
It would take giving me 25 grand and I will consider you a very big VIP
.just kidding..
Honestly it varies from store to store, mgmt and your sa. Everyone has a different view on what it takes to become a VIC which is really what it is called now (very important client) that if you do a search you will find numerous threads on this subject.
Yeah I honestly don't know. I've bought a LOT of pieces from LV (same store, for the most part too) and I just recently got my first, and hopefully not last, VIP gift. I've recently started dealing more with the manager since my store tends to have a really high turnover rate with the SAs so I've dealt with pretty much all the SAs there since Danica left.
