A group protesting Pres. Donald Trump and his policies by boycotting his family’s consumer products and the retailers who carry them says that since the November 2016 election, retailers have stopped selling 3,600 Trump-branded products.

Business Insider spoke with the group’s co-founder — brand strategist Shannon Coulter — who said that the #GrabYourWallet campaign has been a roaring success.

“I did expect it to succeed,” Coulter said Business Insider. “I saw such a strong and spirited response to even my very first musings about it.”

Nordstrom, Nieman Marcus and Belk have all stopped carrying Ivanka Trump’s clothing and accessory lines. Sears and Kmart and Sears have stopped offering Trump Home products on their websites and the items were never available in their brick and mortar locations.

1. A lot of crap made in China will no longer be available!

8. How 'bout trump's neckties?

And his men's apparel?

[DK504]

9. He does want his male staffers to wear his ties.

Wonder where they will buy them?

11. Wonder if any of it is made in America?

2. And I don't think this was organized either

It's just consumers being averse to spending money on Trump products.

Imagine if it could become a really organized boycott!

[greymattermom]

3. I imagine that a lot of groups

will no longer book Trump properties for conventions and other events. This will take a little longer, but it must also be happening.

4. Yup, wedding and event planners are avoiding them

They don't want to plan a big shindig and have it messed up by protesters or security issues. I'm sure there will be some clients who choose Trump Hotels, but planners aren't promoting them.

7. Of course they have to "know" its a Trump product first which is why some of his hotels have changed

their names even though they are still owned by Trump like Scion so people need to be made aware of that name change.

5. SAD.... SAD...

if it's so SAD!, why am I chortling?

[yallerdawg]

6. This is messing with the 'family jewels'!

If this cost them too much in personal fortune, they'll get the hell out!

[DK504]

10. BLOTUS seems to have forgotten who really rules the roost.

Woman have the handle on a large majority of households. Don''t piss the ladies off DonnieRhea.

12. Americans speak out with their wallets.

They don't want no cheap over-priced made in China trinkets, baubles, clothing or food related items from the orange assface. They won't give him one penny of their money that he doesn't outright steal. Of course, we can expect to lose lots of $$ due to him lining his personal and Russian pockets by paying more in taxes (most of us aren't 1%ers so won't have any gain) and paying lots more for healthcare and if he has his way, paying the rich for the roads he's going to give them at an 80% discount while they recoup the rest of their $$ plus, pllus, plus from toll roads, toll bridges, etc.

13. stores need to dump the rest of that cheap made, cheap wholesale- overpriced retail junk
