URI Jan 5 Ohio - tanTALK

It went really well. I had to write something up because everyone should know what a great place it is...
THis was one of the best offices I have ever seen...mostly because it wasn't just an office, it was a concept.

The concept is that you should go to work happy and enjoy your job.

There is a gym, a daycare, a massage room, a HUGE kitchen with a large screen TV (tuned to the football game), and two tanning rooms, along with your standard offices and cubicles, showroom, warehouse, etc.

I got to meet Doug who designed the office and he wanted to creative an atmoshere that said that they care about their staff.

I just wanted to say that the place was spectacular. I got to meet all the staff who were extremely helpful.

There was a good turnout for their event even though the Browns (?!) game was on...which apparently was a big event...lol.

JA, Designer Skin, Norvell, Figi, Cal Tan, and Eye Pro were present and we all did a 45 min training for URI's customers.

Everyone seemed really receptive to JA's new products and many people let me spray them with JA's new Spray Tan , including John@URI!!! I hope I remembered to spray his other arm...if not, John you will have to do it yourself!! Once people saw how great it goes on and the speactacular color they got, they were psyched to get it themselves.

I just wanted to thank URI for having me visit and train people, and I hope I get to visit again. They are a class act over there.

Now that sounds like the place to work. Got any pics Tara?

Tara@JA · 01-06-2003, 11:27 PM

Unfortunately, I didn't get any and that was so silly because i had a camera. But maybe the next time...OR, maybe URI will post some for us.

It really is fantastic though!

yes, lets get URI to post some for us. I would love to see that layout.

They do have a most spectacular facility! Very nice people, and great customer service! They are what a first class distributor should be.

JOHN @ URI · 01-07-2003, 10:25 AM

Tara,
Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, I do have one nicely bronzed arm, I'll have to steal that bottle & finish the job.
(color is similar to what I got from the Mystic)

Have gotton plenty of calls on the Babie product. Should be a hot item this season.

Lori Gagen from Eye Pro was at the URI show. She reports that a number of folks certainly looked odd with one tan arm, Viewkeepers on and all pumped up from Joe Schuster's motivational speech.

A salon owner named Karen had to sit in the back, as she was on crutches--a customer had run her over in her salon parking lot when she told him he couldn't park there. Karen didn't get any of the free product from speakers, because she was stuck in the back out of reach. She was sooo disappointed.

As luck would have it, she won the drawing for $1000 worth of free product from URI as the Grand Prize! How great is that!

Ouch! What is with people. Running over someone over a parking issue.

Congrats to Karen on the win. At least luck was with her in the drawing.

Got a bit more info--the lucky winner is
Karen Sestito from Hang Tan in Colombia Township, Ohio.

Way to go, Karen!!!

Hang Tan

Have to say I do like that name. HandTan or HangTen. Cute.
