Re: My first question

I think you set the standard but not so far ahead that you get lost your own self. Remember people like the new things, but only new things that they are a custom to see. Throwing in all beds that start at 10 mins with beds with so many options that it boggles the mind wont work.

Take Benz for instance they gave you all the upgrades in the s-class 500 and 600 with the older body style then tried to ram down your throats all thoes options with the new body style. It made people who spend money on thoes models take a step back and stoped buying them. Benz had to take slower step to introduce the new body style and show why they changed such a classic style.

So me in general I would still show some beds that they are used to seeing, but show them what is the new standard now.

Example(and I know people will question this) My starter bed is the orbit/sunstorm (12 min) when customers see this, they remember when this was the best bed in the salon and now time has changed and theres others that are better.

Then elixirs 12 mins and icon 10min and high pressure an ultrabronz indulgence and a 360 hp vyper. People love this and it sets my stores apart from other without going to crazy. Orbit been out for a long time so its not like I having the s class as my base and doing something so dumb that it will just put me out of business and have everyone on here buying my beds. :)
