Question BEST place to buy tanning lotions for my new salon?

Hi everyone,

My name is Krysti and I am new on these boards. I am opening my salon next week and want to order some tanning lotions for re-sale and want to make sure I am getting the best deals. If you are a rep or know of a good website PLEASE contact me and I will order from you if the price is right. My email is:

tikitansonline@yahoo.com


or just reply to my post here or PM me.

Any help in locating the best lotion dist. or supplier online would be great. I appreciate all the help : )

There is a local distributor here in Colorado...but want to make sure I am not paying too much. Her catalog prices are half of retail? Does that sound about right or can I get them cheaper, other than Ebay - I won't buy from there. I have read all about that and no worries...I get it : ) THANKS AGAIN...

Krysti

What do you mean Eileen? I tried to click that link and it stated that I was not allowed to access that page. Is there something I need to do? What exactly does "claim your territory" mean - sorry? Thank you : ) Good to meet ya'!

Re: BEST place to buy tanning lotions for my new salon?

As a member of tantalk you get special pricing. At the bottom of the page is a link to the forms and just fax them to the phone number listed in the thread. If you agree to their terms and no other salon in your area has already you can be exclusive with them. It's going great for us so far. Also your local distributor is way to high.... doubt I would want to do business with someone that was charging me top dollar right from the get go.

Re: BEST place to buy tanning lotions for my new salon?

You should be able to get at least 45% off of wholesale price. The price your distributor quoted you was wholesale or 50% of retail. Shop around and place that first big order with the distributor that gives you the best percent off wholesale. If you have to sign an exclusive to get the best deal, don't worry, be happy. There's nothing that guarantees you'll have to be locked in.
