Independent salon owners ... How do I get the word out? - tanTALK

Tanmand · 02-28-2004, 08:20 AM

I talk to salon owners across the USA everyday. Have been building this company for 2 years. Every time I post on this site, I am accused of spamming. Meanwhile I read posts all the time regarding companies services and how people are benefiting.Are these companies spending advertising dollars ???

I feel we have the most exciting story for salon owners in this country. The magazines will not run a story unless you run advertising in there magazines. We have done tremendous things for salons in our network. What we are doing is unique and has tremendous results. So how do I get the word out.??? We are Exclusive and a network of independent salons in over 22 states already. We are networking together. Why can't I post messages?

I truly love this industry and have worked night and day building this network. Everything is great. Would like to be able to share our concepts with salons. Even though a lot of people are threatened with what we do (corporate). I feel we are helping everyone including distributors and manufacturers. Thank you

I knew when I read your post, I know this person...The fact that your are not exclusive, you are just privated labelled lotion which others can get with their name on it is the fact you arent getting any response. The lotion which I will not mention the name, just doesnt have the shelf life that it should, I know that is not what you are really promoting, but most salon owners can do what you are saying you are helping them do when if they know the right ways to go they can do themselves without paying you the price you are asking...But good luck.

I Would love to talk to you and address this issue, If you know me, call Me.... I am not going to start spamming on here, I respect this site..... So I will not mention any of the services we offer.... Which is very hard to do, when I get a response like this it is very difficult. We are in 22 states I will say this much and have changed many salons profit lines and I can give you some referals. What you are saying is not true.... But with all said.... I still appreciate your post .... thank you... Are you a salon that is also a distibutor.... or maybe a franchise ?

Dan, we spoke at the Expo and we talked on the phone. I am not trying to damage you in no way..

By the way, as a group we are getting better and better at what we are doing. We also have changed our whole set-up process , so we can now get completely focused on a retail salon affiliates market. We have had some people that have sit dead in the water. Simply because there was never a focus. We are learning and we are truly doing something that no one has ever done.If you have a product that sits on a shelf and doesn't move, yes it will go bad at some point. Just like anyone elses product line. One example of our success is a salon that actually has his competitors employees coming to his salon to buy our product line. We have another salon that has had 5 five competitors call us trying to get our products and other services. We turned everyone down because of our exclusativity. Now, Who else in this industry has services like ours and is currently doing what we are doing for independent salons??? We actually do free territory set-up now (not out of desperation, but because of our growth)I think you would agree that what we are building is the same type of strength that Corporate America is now building in our industry. That is why I have worked for a very long time (years) creating this company, and it is rewarding to see what we have done.... The beautiful thing is, we have only been doing this for two years. And the next time you talk to the salon that made the statement; or you claimed made a statement about our products, please have them give me a call.

One other thing is.. private label is a pretty descent source for salons to get a grip in there market. Private label is when a salon pays a company for products with there own name. We have our own product line that is in numerous salons across the United States. We have a poster program,marketing twists,reference cards, and an exam on our products to help our affiliates gain selling advantages with our product line. Does that sound like private label. We are now a name brand product, that you just don't see in every place in town like other product lines.

I also talk to about 50 salons a day, and spoke to a tremendous amount of people in Nashville. Sorry ... I am not quite sure who you are... let me think..... hmmmmm nope can't recall. Why no profile ?

Now I sincerely hope that TanTalk does not get on my case for spamming. What I am really trying to do is educate Thanks for your reply.

I would like to here more if you can answer this question. If this can be such a great deal to other salons why dont you through a little money a trade magazine and do some advertising?
If this is such a great deal for everyone I would think that a little ad space would benefit everyone.

If it's not AG, I'll take 24 cases?

Try the "Buy / Sell " section. That is what it is for but don't send unrequested e-mails to me again.

Wow you know most private label company's are someone else's bottom line lotion. I have a real good friend that works with Stylz and you would not beleive the company's private labeling there low line of lotions and you are right they do not have the shelf life at all.You do not have to advertise in order to get in a magazine you just have to have a product worth a sh*t.
