200$ lotion?

[dbl-a]

Ha ha I am a man and turn 30 in March! If you say it's for anti aging and dry skin, then wouldn't a good moisturizer afterwards work? Just arguing here for the hell of it. I am buying a salon at the end of the month that has pricing up to $60 and I plan to bring in a few $100 bottles. I just would never pay that is all. I will most likely use the best lotions since I will get them cheap. I really never have used it though. Not before I tan or any other time. I think that my face will be a priority for the reasons you stated(wrinkles).

i wasnt a beleiver in tanning lotions until i became an owner.....however i do have a hard time grasping what the diff is on a 200.00 bottle vs 149.00 bottle.......i do think there is a diff on a 65.00 vs 21.00.......................we have sold so far 2 bottles of black at a small discount...basically lowered it to cover tax...sold for like 89.00 and i sold a special order of the love potion to a customer that just got a tanning bed for xmas....dicounted it to 173.00 just so that maybe she will buy all her stuff from us when she needs it........i have no idea why anyone would want anything from "ultimate"

Well dbl-a, i see you are at least starting to come around. You are seeing the light. What still irks me about you is the thought that you are coming into this industry with the beliefs you possess. There's already too many uneducated owners in this industry. You see, this is what i've been up against all the while i've been in business...too many uneducated owners! Its a constant education to the clients because they come to us from other salons...and when i mention the phrase...what lotion are you using? they say, well at "abc tanning" they never told me about using a lotion! So, when i come across the likes of you...not even believing how important lotions are...or that you don't believe one is better than the other...is why i get so defensive...but i've decided to save my energies for my clients rather than for you.
If you still decide to get into the tanning business, please for the sake of the industry, educate yourself!! Get the publications, Looking Fit, Tanning Trends and Suntimes...start reading! Join Smart Tan or ITI...go to trade shows...and find a reputable distributor that will educate you, but good luck finding one that will.
PS, please don't come to michigan. We already have too many uneducated salon owners.
