Eileen, it's not that big of a deal really. Just means it went through more scrutinized testing. It's what makes it offer such a great warranty though. That would be the bonus. Other than that, no benefits of it. I only brought it up in my last post because it was being said that it WASNT medical grade and that was just all hype.

Eileen, put yourself as a customer, not a salon owner. Say you were going to get sprayed and several people had their spray booths set up side by side and you were trying to decide which person to get sprayed by. Say they were all the same price. After you reviewed all the brochures (FT supplies BIG TIME brochures for their customers to see what they are really getting) what would make you decide to go with a certain one? The more I can offer, the better off I am. I am not self taught, (FT give training), my equiptment is medical grade (lol), I have 10 to 12 solutions to customize your look, My system has been advertised and supported by all the stars and in all the magazines and has it's own website. Who would you choose?

AGAIN, I'm only stating why I chose this system. Dont get defensive anyone because I'm not knocking others!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen some really awesome sprays that were not Fantasy Tan and then again I've seen some really hideous ones so it does come down to technique and solutions also.

eileen

my first impression would come from how natural the person looked that was going to spray me... i can't really answer the rest because i haven't researched much about spray tanning .
i'm starting to learn though. :)

Another marketing HYPE term. Some people will believe anything.
I am glad it works for you.
Just be careful of your claims in our sue happyworld.
Customers can hold your feet to the fire.

Thats something else that is a bonus for me. Fantasy Tan spends money on their marketing. You can see their equiptment on television and in popular magazines. People see that and go to their website and put in their zip code and will find my salon. The cost of it is just all the bonuses put together. The company really knows what their doing. They dont just send you the equiptment and your on your own. They wont even sell their solution to anyone unless you have their equiptment. They stand behind everything.

What claims?

I'm stating why I bought it. Not sure what u mean.

What ever the company claims with their equipment and product if you promote it, you make sure you can back it up in case a customer wants proof.
In terms of all the advertising and marketing , bottom line is that the cost of all of that is built into the price you pay for your solution and equipment.

When s company makes claims, I reasearch to find facts to back up their claims. I contacted FDA, I had them (FT) demonstrate, I brought in models and clients to get their opinions when they demonstrated. I reasearched the ingredients. It took me 6 months to write the check.

missyhot

EXACTLY!!! Completely agree! And yes thats part of the price I'm paying is for their great advertising. Your very right and these are all the factors you have to consider. Some may think it's not worth it and are happy with what they have. IMO I think it was worth the price.

Makes you feel more confident when a rep from their company jumps on a plane to come to your salon to make sure your are doing things right. Scott is flying in on Tuesday and this dude KNOW HIS STUFF! Yep, that air fair is part of the price I'm paying to be the best at what I'm doing.

I guess I should have stated that I am JUST starting this mobile portion of the Business. I'm in between a HUGE Tourist Town and a someone big town where I can travel. I'm doing a bridal party and gonna make some good money next week. Very excited and I need to be confident when I show up at their home. Between the training I'm receiving and the equiptment, I feel very confident. Do you see what I'm trying to get at? It's the whole package.
