What do you sell at your salon? - Page 11

I dont think anyone here was implying that it becomes a dollar store situation. I have yet to here anyone serious about carrying snow mobile parts etc. People are looking for ways to increase their revenue by carrying products that compliment their store.

Victorias Secret was a lingerie store. They added bath and body lines about 10 yrs ago. They seem to be happy with their results. Lingerie and lotion go together better than tanning and products?

Here we go. You hear it all the time how people are slow, that things are tight, am I gonna make it another month .... and no where did I list your name. I was speaking generally its you that took it as a direct address to you. Don't take it personal.

Correct.

What products being carried in a salon would be deemed unprofessional? Lets be serious here. I am not talking about bait and tackle.

imo tanning salons should carry tanning products and skin care add ons. I"m talking about tons of clothing (not related to tanning, such as tons of sweat shirts,pants, etc) a little is ok. The one around here I"m referring to is she has the tons of clothing, she sells clocks, knick knacks, license plates, she has batting cages, sports memorabilia. Come on, its a flea market.

There are none, they are all just fine.

People in my area, as I've said before, feel more comfortable at a "True" tanning salon. They watn to come in, talk to an educated staff member, and not have to trip over racks of crap.

Yea PC thats a little overboard.

We actually have the bath stuff on the other side of the store with no tanning products mixed in so there is a distinction.

I've visited plenty of tanning salon around here and none of them sells anything except lotions, googles and other tanning related stuff. I'm talking about Montreal.
