Re: When you opened.....

I worked it to get $1700 (salon cost) worth of lotions from my tanning bed distributor. So they were 'thrown in' so to speak. No up front purchase of lotions.

I'm with GloTan - I only stock 3 of each kind - I don't want stuff sitting on my shelf.

I made the mistake, though, of selecting a few of every type of lotion, e.g. a tingle, a tingle with bronzer, a tingle with a bronzer and a cooler, a cooler, a cooler with a bronzer, etc. Instead, most of my customers (well, I've only been into this for 2 weeks, so from what I've learned already) prefer just an accelerator with bronzer. I've already sold out of my Worship and Hempz Hydroponic Bronzers and have reordered more. People here seem to like the basics without all the 'different' ingredients.

I didn't stock lamps for my opening - I just shelled out $70k for beds - they better work!! Plus, my disty is great!! He was out here for opening and checks on me regularly.
