New suppliers

[Toasted_Tiki]

I am interested in using more than 1 supplier but so far I'm not getting too far with that. I would like a supplier to send me samples for my customers to try before I make a purchase but I'm running into a dead end with that. Does anyone know of a supplier who's willing to send samples for customers to try?

what have you tried so far?

[Toasted_Tiki]

I am working with Absolute Supply and she is great!! Vegas Tanning Products and Squeeze Tanning have contacted me but not willing to send samples unless I make a purchase. They may say that the product is refundable but I know of another salon in Denver who is having difficulty recieving a refund for that product. I would like to see if my customers like these products.

I use T.W. Tan and Four Seasons
Not pushy and dont call me all day everyday asking if I "need" anything

Tan and Health supply in PA has a 1 year return policy and I'm not sure if they send samples but their softys and you probably could get them to.

Most distys will send samples with an order. Dont buy from the telemarketers.

Has anyone heard of Hoff Sauce?

[Tanning Queen]

Do you mean Hoss Sauce?

Sucks.

Plan an event like a Grand Opening or Customer Appreciation Day or whatever. Make up flyers with Austrailian Gold, Cal Tan, Supre, Designer Skin Swed. Beauty LOGOS and talk to your disty and you will get s TONS of freebie lotion packettes and other goodies. You just need to promote their line in some sort of event and you will be pleased. AG was very generous to me with their freebies.

[MsHotTan]

If you need the logos I have them in my photobucket I can post for you. Just let me know. Good Luck.

Oh BTW, Like tanningqueen said, I think your referring to Hoss Sauce and although it smells good, it's not a good seller at least in my salon it wasn't. Looks low end IMO.

Lets keep the Hoss Sauce in it's proper thread....thanks.

Distributors are hesitant to just send samples to anyone anymore just because they call. Anyone can call & say they own a salon, please send some samples. (We don't want it showing up on Ebay)

A great way to get samples is go to the ITA Show & get as many as you like.

tan and health will randomly send samples to there customers (after purchase) of new products and so will Four Seasons... both great companies

Anyone that is asking for Hoss SAuce doedn't know much about tanning. Low end junk. I would call it "TRASH" but that would get some of them that love a little "trash" now and then all riled up out there. And as you know, some of them do love their trash...
