You're right Kathe. Buying 6 bottles is a big profit for us that it is probably worth the bottle of with love.

I had 2 reasons for doing this.

1. Gets people buying from me instead of someplace else and using good lotions instead of junk.

2. Once they use a really great lotion with great results then they will hopefully continue to buy that. And that is working just as I wanted it to work.

I bought some at Office Depot once, a star and a triangle. We used to have tanning punchcards, I like the lotion idea though!

Eyecandytanning-you have a Mystic Month? How does that work? Does anyone else offer monthly Mystics? We only offer session & session packages & upgrades from tanning packages.
Hope this isn't considered hijacking a thread!!

Sorry, should have included this too, I LOVE Kathe's idea. We already offer free tans in big bed w/ purchase of lotion so all we have to do is fine tune the offers toward Kathe & Din's ideas. Thanks for all your ideas!!!

Kathe, this is a word document template? Generic text? Can you send me a copy of this? Maybe i can fine tune it for you.

It's really not a big deal, just a simple word template and generic text. I think it took me about 3 minutes to make up. LOL I'm sure anyone could do so much better. I'll email it to you and maybe you can make them up in batches for anyone who wants them.

Oh and with the punch cards. Do you still let them do it if they lose the card or must they have the card or they start over?
