once again...

Most of the people who buy lotions in my salon would never buy lotions online. There are just 2 different types of people. I think if the person has a history of buying other things online, they will be more prone to buying lotions online anyway... If I was the only one doing it, it would be one thing.. but there are so many companies and websites out there, it just makes sense to sell them online, because I can buy a higher quantity of them for a lower price and make more money in my salons. I'm not starting an online business out of it... I just stock up on a few lotions that do very well in my salons. I mean, honestly... If someone is going to buy the lotion online, then there is nothing you can do about it... and I am sure you would all agree that if they are going to buy online anyway.. they mine as well buy from us salon owners then some wholesale company or website. Also, we have a better knowledge of the products since we use them and see them being used everyday. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong, but thats how I feel.

and honestly... how about during your slow seasons when profits are low???? from a business perspective, it just makes sense.
