My company manufactured Planet Beach's Private Label tanning products from 1996 until late 1999. The Planet Beach Franchisee's raved about their success with selling the products and the performance of those products.In late 1999, Planet Beach concluded a deal with ETS, Inc. to provide Beds, Lamps and Lotions (including Private Label) exclusively to Planet Beach ending my private label relationship with Planet Beach.From many reports including posts on this site, Apparently, Planet Beach Franchising is looking for a new supplier for their products and close to a deal for a new supplier other than ETS for it's private label products. I received a call today from a franchisee saying "That the same company that made the old private label lotion was going to be used to make the new private label lotion". She was thrilled to have my products to sell again and congratulating me on getting the business back.I wanted to clear up this issue because I do not want Planet Beach Franchisees buying their new private label product thinking it is the same formulas and products that were so successful from Soakin' Up The Rays, Inc.As of this date, I have not been contacted by Planet Bach nor am I selling Planet Beach any private label products. I did not want anyone using my or my company's name and quality reputation to sell products they were not being purchased from me or my company.

Quite a story! But I'm used to hearing all of the news about my company from third parties all the time.Perhaps someone could get something official post on Planet Beach's web site (assuming they have one, I haven't bothered to check).

planet beach just sucks

Lotion sales bad Greg? Most companies dont stoop to knocking others openly.

I hate when threads that are 20 years old come back up.

They should put to a rest. If I'm going to fight with greg it should atleast be current.
Bob

lol!

This one is really old.

So you still not doing their PL?

No, I did their PL for 6 years before they shifted to a total bed, Lamp, and lotion deal with ETS.

Enough said.

No sense kicking a dead horse.

On Planet Beach's Web Site, under Tanning, Lotions, click on any lotion. There is an asterisk statement "* Created by Biddiscombe Laboratories, INC." indicating that PB has a third party lab.

I work for a planet beach, as a manager. I prefer CalTan products personally.
