Selling retail

I am curious to what you all think about selling items in the salon other than lotions and such. How about purses, handbags, flip flops, etc, whs sell in your salons that help you with your bottom line. To give you an idea this salon would offer tanning, teeth whitening, kontur, well system relax, nails and such.

Re: Selling retail

I've been expanding my services and retail for the past 2 years and sales are also increasing to go with it. I'm adding another new service soon.

Re: Selling retail

We are also a salon and sell hair products. We deal in Advocare weight loss products. In the past we offered purses, they didn't do too well.

Re: Selling retail

I tried: body jewelry, reg jewelry, purses, candles, arbonne, avon....just to name a few. Never sold very well. Focus on what you specialize in and dont become a flea market.

Re: Selling retail

I do very well with my boutique I added about 9 years ago. In my boutique I have jewelry (necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings), hats, sunglasses, belts, sandals, clothing, handbags, etc. It is very profitable! Visit my website www.tanattheislands.com and check out my boutique page. I would start off with jewelry as it is the easiest, most profitable, and low start up cost. If you need any help to get started let me know:)
