People absolutely LOVE the cypher, they comment that they use less than other brands and just come out black! It is a 22% incentive to go exlusive, not a 9% as someone said above, plus there is a small cash back as well. The 22% is over and above the discounts, its put in an advertising acount for you, you can use those funds towards everything that you could possibly put a lotion logo and the positive tanning statement on, bus cards, gift cards, radio ads newspaper ads and so on. PLUS, my discounts on lotions more than DOUBLED what I got from the other disty's! now thats incentive! Someone like Natureboy with almost 3 locations could sure deal some great discounts with them. Now as far as lamps and equipment, they have no problem with me purchasing elsewhere because they cannot provide what I need in lamps.

I made my decision to switch despite what Rob said about fiji above, because I was not happy with fiji's new products this year, limited, and packaging was blahh, my customers are tired of the old fiji's and want something new and exciting. As its always said, Your best selling lotion is what ever you want it to be. and CT, DS AG and SB (limited amount of the last two) are doing Awesome, with no complaints!

i believe it is like 8% or 9% to be a prefered salon, which means you still buy from other disty's also

Do you guys have your own private label yet? I making huge $$ from mine. It is the best way to go really if you are not.
