Caribbean Gold....ATTITUDE??

BodyShopTanning · 01-20-2003, 06:56 PM

We just started to sell lotions by Caribbean Gold, the line we have is called ATTITUDE. They have been selling pretty well, mainly because they are inexpensive I think. Lots of our high school age clients seem to like them, but I tried one and wasn't too impressed. It was a yellow lotion and my hands were yellow-ish when I got out of the bed!! Anyone try them? Anyone like them??

We have also started selling this line BUT I will not order the Slammin anymore. This one does cause the yellow look but the others are good. We have a large high school cliental and they love this line. I have used Smokin and Wild Thing personally and I like the tingle factor that they have.

We have also started carrying this line. High school girl love it! Overall, you get what you pay for. The Sex Pot has so so much bronzer that the bed, towel, and their clothes will be brown!

Love the marketing behind these lotions, but I will not carry them due to their association with Australian Gold.

mcspadden · 02-05-2003, 08:46 PM

Details, please, on their association with Australian Gold?

Possibly he meant ETS Association?

I ordered this line because I needed a lower end lotion.(Very inexpensive to bring on board) Packaging is great and triangular bottle design very appealing to customers.(especially teens)I tried the "sex pot" bronzer. Very dark but great natural color. Didn't notice yellow residue of "Slammin". Sold quite a few, as well as "You Wish".

Sounds like Emerald Bay would be a better low priced option. These lotions are awesome and none of them stain like what is mentioned here.

I have not had a problem with them at all. Since I have always refused to sell anything that is made by ETS (Australian Gold, Caribbean Gold, the "new" Swedish Beauty, etc.. I cannot support a company that gets rich off small salons like mine and then stabs them in the back by selling in retail outlets and then attempts to direct mail our tanning clients trying to sell them home tanning units as well as lotions. There lotions may be cleverly marketed, well priced and easy to sell, but what will be the ultimate cost to our salons when we lose lotion revenues?
