It All Looks The Same!!!!

Have you seen the ads for the new indoor tanning products for 2006? Can you tell if any of it is from the same or different company?

I get peeed when people copy my original ideas. I can not image how furious Brad and Beth from Designer Skin must be! It seems like every major and minor brand in the industry is ripping them off.

They originated the shrink wrap packaging with cute/fun girl names. Now how many indoor tanning products are just stealing their ideas and their market. It is sick. Get an original idea! I hate copy cats!!! They just wait for someone with a great idea then copy, Copy, and Copy!

The problem is now you can not tell what is one of their products and what is not! Put up 10 of the new shrink wrapped “girl” line products and see if you can tell them apart. If you can not them how can your employees and your tanners?

Every year, I study the new indoor tanning products for something awesome and great some innovative thinker has created for our industry.

This year it is all the same…… well maybe not!!!

I've also noticed with all the different samples from diff. disty's I've been getting lately ALL have the same 'cartoonish sexy posed women' on them. Or as Soakin' put it 'girl' products. I have to admit they are all beginning to look alike. Most everything looks alike on my shelves except the Emerald Bay that is in cute bottles with keychains attached.

It a left-handed complement. Imitation is the best complement anyone could ever receive. Congratulation DS. They all want to be you.

Something that caught my eye at the ITA show also was that another company...i can't think of who it was at the moment, but not a "big player", anyway, is now putting thier samples in the Xela Pak, also like DS. I won't sell those, cause I don't want my customers mistaking thier products for DS (in case they stink! in more ways than one) ha!

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
(But it would bug me too!) =)
