Do you stick with 2 or 3 lines or do you have several lines. Like cheep, mid range and expensive???? We have several different lines. Would like to narrow it down, but it is hard to let go.... : ) Thanks!!!

Last year during busy season we only had 2 lines & I swear we sold more lotions because the customers didn't get so confused. We sold DS & Satori Sol. Our cheapest lotion was $28. I am a little hesitant to carry the new splash line by DS because it is so cheap BUT we're going to try it anyway.

I know, it looks really cheap too. I hate the packaging and it upsets me b/c I love DS. Why the crappy bottles? Why, Why, Why...

I agree it does look cheap BUT maybe they did that with the hopes that the customers would see the more expensive stuff & go with that instead. Dunno...I HOPE at least that's what they were thinking.

I'm not going to carry a line just to upsell another line. That's just crazy. MAYBE have a bottle or 2 of the nasty stuff to show what they MIGHT be buying at another salon.

We basically carry 2 lines, Emerald Bay and Designer Skin. We sell a TON of DS, the EB is just for those that do not wish to spend the DS price. I have tried a couple of the 'cheapie' DS and am not completely sold. I absolutely LOVE DS and will keep their line, however, hopefully we'll be able to get the client to the $30 bottles instead.

Bob is right, your clients will buy whatever it is thst you want to sell them. Go with the company that offers you the best rewards, and going exclusive with one company will put more money in your pocket at the end of the year.
