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. |
and once again.....i agree and that is why my crack cocaine business is booming....cuz every other scumbag sells it on the street...i'm not the only one
If business is so bad in offseason...then advertise and get customers in. How about making some sales to lock your customers in through slow season. Maybe introduce EFT's so that you are still charging them even in off season. There are many things you can do to survive comfortably in off season. Maybe you can sell crack on the streets in off season.
