If they don't, I don't buy their product.
HappyLady, ProDesign of Denmark is a great company to work with. Different enough to stand apart from your other collections, price points are superb and every one of their reps I've delt with will bend over backward to see their product succeed in your practice. Their minimum is around 2 dozen which I think is very fair considering the size of their product line. O&X from Kio Yamato Optics is another line that is great to work with - good price points, no huge minimums, and great styles. And again, every rep of their I've spoken with is interested in seeing their product succeed in your practice.
