What do you do with these samples.....do you set them out for people to use for free or still charge 1 or 2 bucks each.....I don't want to lose a lotion sale cause I am giving free samples..

If these are products that are new to your store, I definitely wouldn't just hand them out. Possibly not even sell them. You don't even know what they will do to your client. Especially if its an extreme tingle or heavy bronzer. You'll have clients either on fire or orange.
Your best bet would be to pass them out to your staff. And/or use them yourself.
If you want to gift some to your "faithful" customers, make sure you research what you are giving them first. Any new catalog should give you a quick description.
We have given some samples to our "special" clients this season. Those serious tanners who love lotions and love spending. That way you can get an opinion direct from the horses mouth. But don't run out and buy it cause one person likes. Make out a questionaire for each one. Then compare and go for there.

hope that helps
