What are they? I saw them in a mag but didnt get what they were???

engfant

Just energy drinks marketed to tanning. They are filled with B vitamins, nicain and other fun stuff that's used in tanning lotion.

I would be interested to know the price on these. I was reading about them yesterday but I haven't got on the website yet. Seems like they have many of the same ingredients as our lotions- maybe we could just instruct clients to eat their lotion or lick themselves. ;)

These could be an easy add on sale.

engfant

yeah but at what price? These things are usually a super rip off with little markup. $4 for 2oz of liquid is outlandish

these wholesale for $2, suggested retail is $4

which is not that high- the 5 hour energy shots that are everywhere now, are $2.99-

so for $1.01 more you get tyrosine, copper and others...

probably won't sell too many.. but they are good for us to buy and use at $2 each, right?

We got free samples and they didnt seem worth it, you feel hyper for an hour max and as for it making you look darker it didnt seems any different than using a lotion. Most my employees seemed nervous/afraid to use them anyway.

very true-

we bought 36 bottles from him, it is a local company; clients bought 3, staff bought about 20, I took the rest home / gave them away

I think the best piece of advice I have seen on here in a while, is someone that said, focus on what tanners come in for, when thinking of retail items, don't turn it into a flea market / convenience store.

I agree, it seems the simpler I make my salon.. just tanning / tanning lotion and skin care.... we do better...
