Rep Promotions... - tanTALK

devastoj · 02-14-2006, 10:53 PM

I own a bar and Im doing a grand opening for my salon in March. I always found it interesting that the liquour and beer companies were always giving me free t-shirts and promotional stuff w/o me having to seek it out and the lotion companies charge $$$ for t-shirts and posters. I mean I used to get neon lights and t-shirts all the time for free from alcohol distributors w/o asking.

Anyways for my grand re opening I was really hoping to get a rep in to do some giveaways and stuff as this is going to a big party with lots of people, and I have done this before with booze. I use Future Industries and Im planning on calling tommorow to see if something could be done and I was wondering if anyone has ever thought about doing this, has done it, or if I should just save my breath.

You can get a free promo kit from Designer Skin.... there is a form you have to fill out. I just got mine....lots of lotion samples, tshirts, even a canvas bag, posters,etc. DS happens to be the most generous. I've tried other companies and they either send a handful of packettes or nothing at all.

Comparing lotion companies to beer and liqour companies?

I have heard of a few distys and manufacturers that will help you out if you ask.

You are right about DS being the most generous JM. We just received our stuff a couple of weeks ago and it was great! Tons of samples, T's, bags, posters! I contacted Salon Support as well, but I haven't gotten theirs yet. I'll let you know how good they were to us. :)

One of the nice things about DS too, is they don't need a lot of notice. They ship the goodies out to you darn fast too. I think we got ours about 5-6 after we faxed our paperwork!

How important was it to have the designer skin logo or text saying "designer skin" on the flyer?

tnannie · 02-15-2006, 09:39 AM

I think you have to have it on the flyer to qualify for freebies from them, not sure. We just scanned their logo, but they will email or fax you their designs to use also.
