Rep Power: 23 neon is on a distinguished road
I've heard lots of good things about JA, especially since they are now exclusive to salons. What else should I start with?

What is really going on with CalTan? I'm a newbie and from what I gather there was some big deal on them? The distributer I contacted told me she'd give me 20 percent off of their products. Is that good or bad?

Also, has anyone tried Dr. Sun? They seem to be very inexpencive, are they also cheap?

Thanks,
shallee

Shallee,
As far as CT, I think I will wait a little while & see how that goes even though many people seem to think they are sincere. But, I wish I had known about Soakin' up the Rays lotion when I was opening. JA is my main line with some AG & CT. I had already made my initial lotion purchase before discovering Soakin' & I am totally in love with this lotion. All of my customers that have tried it love it. And as far as customer service & knowledgeable advice, Laurie & Greg are both super to work with. You can find them at soakinuptherays.com or call Laurie at 877-798-6802 or Greg at 800-935-7625. As soon as I sell most of my other lotions, Soakin' & JA will be the only lines I will carry.

Neon, I've never tried Dr. Sun, but from what I've heard it's horrible.

Everyone else is right, Soakin is definitely an affordable line you should consider.

Certain things do well in some places and don't do well in others. For example, I do well with Supre and Kava Kava. I also do well with selected Most products.

Forever Tan is right. Try to sample as much lotion as possible. See what sells best for you.

Yeah, I should have said that too...try & sample all that you can & don't make the mistake of buying lotions without first sampling it yourself. It is a huge disappointment to buy lotion & then be stuck with something you HATE....like some of the Body Drench lotions.

You can also call up most of the major lotion companies and tell them you couldn't make it to the Nashville trade show but would like to sample what everyone else got.

Neon, we have also dropped several lines but have been delighted with SUR (Greg & Laurie). Not only do you get a quality product at a good price, but the support will not be matched by any other company out there.
