FitFlops, retail?

I'll be taking over my first salon in the next week or so and I want to get some ideas for retail. The salon has a great area for retail but the current owners have not expanded beyond sunglasses, swimsuits and beach bags. None of these items do well. The salon is right near a huge university so my market demographic is young and hip but they also dont have money to spend on super high end merchandise. I'm thinking skincare (beyond tanning lotion), makeup and maybe jewelry? Also thinking about FitFlops because so many of the students walk to class. Does anybody have any good ideas for retail? Any proven money makers with this demographic? Does anyone know where I can buy FitFlops in bulk?
Thanks

Re: FitFlops, retail?

This is from their web site:

If you would like to be an Official FitFlop retailer:

We are very sorry, but because of enormous demand and low availability of inventory we were unable to deliver FitFlops to new retail partners for Summer 2007. We are currently creating a fantastic Spring/Summer 08 collection, and will be interviewing new retail partners for additional distribution opportunities for Spring 2008.
If you are a retailer (anywhere in the world except for Australia and Ireland) and are interested in carrying FitFlops, please send information about your retail operation to: sales@thefitflop.com and our sales team will respond as soon as possible. (Please include the country your operation trades in in the subject line of the email, i.e. I want to retail FitFlops in Italy.)
In Ireland, retailers can contact Deirdre Carey at Brazil Body Sportswear (brazilbodysports@eircom.net ). In Australia, please get in touch with Richard Salmons at RG Sports (Richard@rgsports.com.au)
We are planning to have a world-wide distribution network in place for S/S 08
or distributor…
Please email your query to sales@thefitflop.com and a member of our team will get in touch as soon as possible.

Re: FitFlops, retail?

Make up will be costly as will skin care. Maybe salon logo tshirts? or cute trendy tops? something like what heartland sells
