Default Fiji Nano X

Hey everyone. I just ordered a couple of bottles of this stuff and I sold one today. I also sold a ton of cups of it. (They were out of packettes.)

Everyone that used it didnt get any instant color. The lotion is white, So im guessing theres no instant bronze in it? How good does this stuff work? Will they see a big difference in the morning? I was told by some people on here that its a really good bronzer.

LOVE IT!!! Ill sell the rest of them tomorrow then Im sure. The people who tried it will pay anything for a sweet lotion.

Im pretty happy right now. Im glad I asked you guys for advice.

We brought in the Nano last season and IT sold like HotCakes fo a bit.
I, MYself, Do not like DHA bronzers when tanning. And I really don't like selling the stuff. I need bodies to walk back in the Door more often.

For the price I hope the NEW Nano is better.

people love the nano...but most like Tryst better. Tryst will sell better...guarantee it.

Advantage selling points on the Tryst OVER the nano-x......

Aloe Based for more moisturizing
after tan odour eliminator,
silicone emulsion
matrixyl (anti aging)

and that's not including the oils and accelerators...i'm just talking about add-on to the lotion.

As soon as i explain that to them....and they have both bottles in their hand....Tryst always always always sells more. The only time it won't sell is if someone HATES COCONUT......some do....most don't.

Jeez DIN, you are still smoking dope with your belief that Aloe Based means anything.

Aloe is 99.5 percent water...and is a marketing ploy to NOT SAY WATER as an ingredient.

There is NO ALOE PRODUCT....nothing is ALOE BASED.

All Aloe Vera is reconstituted aloe dust from dehydrated aloe plants...mixed back into 99.5 percent water....so a scoop of aloe dust goes into a 55 gallon tank of water and it is now "aloe vera"

Total Bullshirt.

Sorry to burst your bubble........but don't continue this urban myth that there is such a thing as aloe based...because it is just water like all other products.

Move on.

i know that.....but HENCE™ the selling point.

Drew, you really think that any goop is any different from another. It's all the same base with different fragrance and ingredients not proven to do anything other than moisturize and keep your skin hydrated...not boost anything.

I'm talking about SELLING points......not what it actually does. goop is goop.....i'm just looking to make an extra buck and certain lotions let me do that and make more than another.

I may be dumb but i'm not stupid......no wait.....uhm......whatever.

Have a talk with Terry Katz , president of Fiji....talk to him about the real ingredients vs the pretend ingredients in products.

About functional levels of those ingredients, vs less than functional levels.

Stuff like "Silicone emulsion" is krap..because even though it feels good...it actually hurts moisturization over usage.

If you really believe all "goop is goop", then it is a waste of time.... but ask girls if some "moisturizing" shampoos actually dry out their hair over time. Or if hair breaks etc...

Is there a HUGE difference in one application of krap lotion vs "good" lotion???? No, not really.

but the benefits of all the skin care ingredients that some products like FIJI have and that the old cal tan products had vs other lotions will show up after a few sessions or a few weeks of using it.

good skin care is like a diet..results show up later, but they do show up.

Now, if you don't belive that....fine....
some people don't believe we went to the moon either or that HP tannning is better than tube tans.

Hell, some people actually believe that Lumier works...so go figure.

i understand that one product will moisturize more than the other....but as for the moringa tree from the island of Fiji that is saving peoples lives and propels your tan to reckless abandon......well, they aren't any better than the next goop company out there....just nicer gimmicks. others use silicone emulsion or cranberry seed oil....and others use moringa tree extract....yada yada yada....

Doesn't mean i don't like their products, smell, packaging and how they work, i sell them....just saying that there isn't much difference, it's a business, that's all....and if you think or believe otherwise, then you've fed into their story like every other goop maker out there wants you to believe...so they can be different. NO?.....think about it....i know you're a smart guy.

I don't work for any of them, nor do i make anything off any that i promote......just telling it how it is.

I can give you names of other goop owners and chemists that will also say different about other ingredients....doesn't mean i believe them over the others. Don't fall in to the goop game Drew.

Moringa has nothing to do with it. Moringa just has alot of ingredients that go into tannning lotions anyway.

I just saw a Moringa drink sold by some multi level sales thingy......


The Moringa Miracle has sold exactly zero bottles of fiji.

And I don't think Moringa comes from fiji either..It comes from India and Africa...

Drink ZIJA juice!!

I put a smudge of one of the Tanzotic lotions on my hands and had hives for 2 days. Aloe. It seems if it says Aloe Barbadis (sp?) I'm okay. Not sure the difference. Maybe I'll allergic to Emus AND aloe.
