Rep Power: 0 SunDream1 is on a distinguished road
I plan to put together a package, something similiar to what Clinque offers from time to time, for clients who purchase my year round EFT program.. I don't know where to even begin..It will be pretty/cool with some sample lotions 2 or 3, free goggles, hair genie, and possibly a logo magnet or something like that. Any ideas out there. I am going for different and unique. Do you guys offer fancy eye protectants in your salon? I am thinking of using those. What about giving them a choice b/t hair genie and toe ring/anklet?

sample packets of good expensive lotions like Designer Skin mystere and Erogeny (just typin those word...well ya know) and 2 or 3 samples of hot and or cool tingle lotions, 1 pair of sun globes + 2 free sessions passes for your client to bring a friend all in a nice zip bag w/your name and logo on so they can use this as their "tanning bag"

Thanks for you help Jamaica Jim! I really liked your idea of free sessions for a freind. The eye wear I was talking about were Sunclipse, sun globes, or sunsets they are anywhere from .37 cents higher to $1.50 higher. I was thinking of using those in my gift bags. A hair genie is an "As seen on TV" towel designed specifically to tie your hair up... the same concept of wrapping a towel around your head just with some enginuity behind it.(Please ignore spelling.) These are ideal for stand up beds. Does anyone use cordless headsets? I am wondering if they will work inside of the bed.

I wouldn reconsider the Sunclipse (we used these in the beginning and they fall apaRT BAD. I didn't think they were even made anymore). The Sunglobes have a big problem with the lenses popping out and they are very flat and I feel do not conform to a facial shape well. (picky, aren't I? LOL!)I dig the Sunsets. You may want to think about the Winkees 10 packs. Or Super Sunnies, which are also very cost effective.The hair genie is a pretty cool idea. What kind of cost can you get on bulk purchase?I like the free for friend idea. Good one.What about for guys? Would they have much of a need for the hair genie? JA makes some great facial skin care products...eye gel, Vitamin Milk, eye make up remover, Facial Serum, etc.

Oh...you could always get a bunch of hand towels and have your logo emboidered on them to put in the bags. Or JA has really nice towels with the JA on them in gold. Real sharp.

Thanks for the info...this was exactly what I was looking for! The hair genie would work great for anyone who uses hair processes..ex. color, highlights, perms...from what I understand you need to cover your hair up when you tan in the tanning bed to protect your hair from becoming dry and brittle. I don't have a bulk price as of yet. They are 4 dollars each. I think you can go to the "as seen on TV" website and pull them up. I don't think I saw a telephone # to call for bulk pricing. I need to do that. I will let you know and please do the same if you get a bulk rate. It is definitely going to cost me but I think it will be one of those cool perks my clients will appreciate.

Sundream, what did you end up doing?I just started handing out bags with our logo on them. Everyone loves them. I'm also putting together a starter kit for people who sign up for the EFT program. It will include a bag, base builder lotion, goggles and 2 upgrade certificates. My members really like having a bag for their tanning supplies.

Where do you get the bags and how much do they cost? I've been looking around for one of those zippered bags or pouches that you could customize but I don't know where to look.

LadyBlue, I ordered from Action Bags. I believe that they have a website. I got 250 of the 8x12 zippered bags. I printed labels w/ our logo and info and stuck them on the bags. The prices were really reasonable and considering how well they are going over I may have to order more.
