Default lotion cup dispenser

Hello everyone. I am new to this and hope someone can help...I am looking for a dispenser to put the lotion cups in to display,the one I'm looking for is able to spin. Open to any other ideas though. Also would like to know where I can get the hard plastic cups from?
Thank you

call your distributor for the cups, no idea about the display, just stack them on your front counter.

maybe staples has some sort of rotating holder? -
office depot maybe? -
i just make mine as people buy them - busy season they go into a basket on the back shelf so i can grab one when needed - but they aren't hogging up my counter space.

Some distributors carry this type of cup display.

Great. Display the large bottle, when someone wants to buy a cup pump it out fresh! The lotion will last longer this way and it does not look cheep. IMO. Or if you have Tao in the 32oz you can offer 1/2 price re-fills on Tao(or what ever lotion U have) Just a thought

or pump out 10 cups and put it on the front counter as a special product of the month for $3.00 or something a cup. build a pyramid with them on the counter if it's just 2 products you are trying to get rid of.

If you are going with selling cups only...(mistake in my opinion) get the cup display.

Sorry, ziplock baggies are the best. You just have to zip it up if you dont use it all. They are easy to carry and chances of it opening up in your purse are slim to none if you make sure it is snapped up. Those cup lids just pop off. I always made sure we had them on hand cuz most people wouldnt use the entire .5 oz and we catered to our clients that wanted to keep their lotions longer. Cups are dumb.

I use a full 1oz of lotion when I tan. How can someone use a 1/2 twice?

You must be fat UV. I dont come CLOSE to using that much. Hell, an 8oz bottle lasts me 2 years and I tan 2-3 times a week.

Dont hate me cuz I am thin and beautiful! Just cuz YOU need a WHOLE ounce doesnt mean the rest of the world does. Sheesh. You just dont know the market and what people want. They want value for their money. I mean, you are trying to control how much people use and I am letting them choose what they want. I think YOU are the one that is "cheep". Besides, at least with the ziplock, you can custom design them for each customer. We would spend time decorating them with colorful markers for each person that bought one. YOu are just jealous that you arent providing the high class services I did for my clients.

Go eat another cookie.
