Hi Greg, you sent me some samples of your product about 2 weeks ago or so. I tried the 5x lotion and my wife tried it because she is really sensitive to the tingle factor. Neither of us noticed any tingle at all. Any chance that you sent us something other than what you meant to? Rich MorganOasis Tanning

Greg,If I go with Private Label, do I need to come up with a name for each of these products. For instance, Soakin' Up The Rays' lotion Copper Rays...would I have to name it something else besides Copper Rays & would I have to make sure the name I chose isn't used by someone else? Also, is there a certain amount of private label lotions you have to buy to get started?Thanks!

Rich: Everyone is different with tingle products. So think the 5X formula is too strong and some do not get a tingle at all. Call me next week, I will have my new 200X formula ready to sample you, I think that will get the job done for you!Ginger:Yes, All the Soakin' Up The Rays (R) names are trademarked. I knw most of the product names in the industry. Call me with your names, I will try to help you. The private label names, I use are not trademarked so you could use those if you wish.The great thing about my private label program is you need to buy just 12 bootles for each formula you want to stock. Your only investment is labels, you buy the actual bottles as you need them! ------------------Greg KlesiusSoakin' Up The Rays, Inc.1-800-935-7625WWW.Soakinuptherays.comAwarded the First TSO Seal of ApprovalWWW.naatso.org

Does anyone have any idea where the best place to buy bottles from would be?I don't need labeled, just the bottles.I've checked around a few places, some said they needed a minimum of 50,000 for some unique bottles and I found a couple that I could order as small of an amount as 2,000- so that's do-able. Who did any of you guys go through?

Shannon, When Soap Opera First opened, (as a small boutique in our hometown) we used a bottle supplier out of California. Their web site has tons of bottles, from glass to plastic and so on. their web address is www.sunburstbottle.com. If i remember right, they don't have min quantities. And they do have a decent turn around time. Hope that helped. Ask for Edie, She is awesome and can make sure that things are done for you!

I buy 50,000 at a time, Very little options if you want good custom bottles. ------------------Greg KlesiusSoakin' Up The Rays, Inc.1-800-935-7625WWW.Soakinuptherays.comAwarded the First TSO Seal of ApprovalWWW.naatso.org

I just opened my first salon and am trying to decide what lotions to carry. I have heard alot about the private label lotions but have a couple questions. Do I come up with a design and buy the labels myself or do I tell you what I want and buy them from you? I'm a little confused on how this works, anything you can tell me about the products would be greatly appreciated. Also, do you maybe have samples I could try before ordering? Is there a minimum amount I have to order?

Jenny:Great Questions, Now every private label manufacturer is different but let me answer for my company.Labels: We offer as much or as little help as you want. Some companies handle everything themselves and other rely on me totally. If you are a new salon and have a artist or printer developing a logo for your salon, you will most likely want to have them quoto the label printing as well.The best way to find out about my products is to sample them. I provide free samples for customers intrested in private labeling. It's the only way to judge for yourself the quality of the products.The only upfront cost with my company is the cost of the labels, you purchase the products as you need it from my inventory down to just a case of 12 bottles on any of my 16 different tanning formulas. ------------------Greg KlesiusSoakin' Up The Rays, Inc.1-800-935-7625WWW.Soakinuptherays.comAwarded the First TSO Seal of ApprovalWWW.naatso.org
