When I started out I just stocked the basic skin care and body care. As the business started coming in I expanded to the nutrition and aromatherapy lines. Now I pretty much stock everything except the makeup, that is all done by special order from the catalog. The makeup line is huge and I don't have enough room to display it all so I just take orders for it. I do have the foundation samples on hand to match that.

I have 2 plain white display cases that I keep most of the product in. I have 2 other shelving units that I use also. I rotate my displays monthly to keep it looking fresh. On Monday when I go in I'll take some pictures and post them on my website so you can see them.

When a new salon gets started we will talk about your demographics, your display room, your budget, etc. Every one is different, some might do better starting out with nutrition and some better with skin care and some with body care plus skin care. Some do better with it all, it just depends. I've had some salons get started with a $350 order and some with a $3500 order, it all depends and I normally lean towards less is more.

This is also a product, just like any other, that you need to use in order to sell. Tiffany in WA just ordered the starter kit ($350) and got most of the items for herself to try. That way she can try just about everything and will know what she wants to stock in her business. That is many times what I will recommend, especially for someone not familiar with Arbonne.

Let me know if I can help.
