Devoted...is it a hit or failure? - TanToday - Helping Salon Owners, One At A Time, Since 2000!

northtanman · 10th November 2007, 10:47 PM

It seems a previous thread started out to be positive about Devoted...but now towards the end, its not sounding so good. So, what is it? great? or not?
Everyone going to stick it out with DS?

EliteMike · 10th November 2007, 11:23 PM

most people are very positive about DC, not sure what exactly you are reading. It's doing fairly well in my salon right now

eyecandytanning · 11th November 2007, 12:36 AM

Love DC!!! I am getting rid of DS and only carrying DC! Their CS is awesome!

SandiGirl · 11th November 2007, 02:28 AM

You started a thread about a thread about DC? Hahaha.

eyecandytanning · 11th November 2007, 03:15 AM

It is slow season! lol

northtanman · 11th November 2007, 12:15 PM

The other thread was getting so long...and towards the end it was sounding bad about after tan odors of DC...is why i asked for a final thought...good or bad!?
If good, i need to dump DS myself...

Kathe · 11th November 2007, 06:23 PM

I've had DC for almost 1 year now. It's going great and have sold some of the new stuff already. Expecting the green line in on Tues. I heard that the Mon Ami is on back order due to problems with the container so I hope that gets worked out soon. Just got Power in on Friday and had one client use it and loved the way it felt going on. I've sold out of Couture and will need to reorder on Monday.

Can't wait to see what it does in the busy season.

And I don't have any complaints on after tan smell. I think it smells just fine.

SandiGirl · 12th November 2007, 02:09 PM

There were only like 2 comments of ATO. The whole thread was about how everyone loves the lotion....so I'd say the verdict is lose the DS.

alternativetan · 13th November 2007, 10:05 AM

So far I love DC lotions. I ordered more stuff yesterday to replace a few different things I am planning on phasing out.

So far I have already ordered and sold Trinity, Tryst and Nirvana. All of them work quite well.

I also carry Fiji now which is also a big hit.

I just ordered some Devoted to Couture and Seeking Serenity. Hopefully this stuff is really good.

JustTans23 · 13th November 2007, 10:14 AM

Your going to be very happy with the couture. Its awesome!

gottatanfl · 13th November 2007, 11:05 AM

Devoted is a HUGE HIT, My customers really like the Devoted to Couture. And the New Green Line I think will do real well.

Kathe · 13th November 2007, 11:29 AM

I sold a Supreme Elegance last night and she loved it. My green line should be in tomorrow - can't wait!

Was pretty hyped up about DC until I received my 6th phone call this week from Millenium...one in the same, aren't they? If so, I don't think DC will make it to my shelves...

brownsuze · 21st November 2007, 07:29 PM

Millenium phoned my greatest gal pal yesterday and when she said she didn't want their stuff, he called back, and called back again, and then left a voicemail calling her a bitch.

ertanman · 21st November 2007, 08:13 PM

Yeah...I spoke w/Lewis at DC awhile back. Expressed to him I needed a line to replace the ETS crap I currently have. I was pretty jacked about DC. Tried a few of the products and loved 'em. Had a few select clients try them, same response. Dunno if I wanna bring DC in now...sad.

Why not? Cause it being tied into millenium?

brownsuze · 21st November 2007, 08:38 PM

^^ YES... I just see this all coming back to bite the industry in the ass. How can you accept what this branch of the company is doing as all smashing and wonderful and ignore what the other branch is, annoying, shady and absolute sh!t for product?

I'd love it if someone would clear this up once and for all -- are they connected and if so, how?

Because for those of us that are not only owners, but operators as well, it is very frustrating to be in the back of the salon, or with a client, or picking your nose, or whatever and stop what you are doing, answer the phone, and be tied up for 5-10 min by a telemarketer trying to sell me products made by the same company that I expressed my interest in already. I understand that they are trying to make sales - so am I...I don't call my clients on a daily basis to see if they wanna buy a tan, and if I did how long before they would tell me to stop calling?!? The difference is I WOULD STOP CALLING.

If DC is such a great product, and Mil is crap and Mil is pi$$ing people off, why is DC still affiliated w/Mil?!? If my business partner was costing me clients and money, he/she/they wouldn't be my partner for long.

northtanman · 21st November 2007, 09:43 PM

I do understand what you are saying about the telemarketers and lotions....they are definately annoying. On my called id, i usally just don't answer the phone when you see whom it is.
And i fully understand IF devoted is related to millenium...i too, would pass on dc if so and just tough it out with ds...
