Rep Power: 0 | Hello everyone. I'm a new salon owner who needs a little help. I was wondering if anyone has ever used Express Tan form Avex Industries, Ltd. I can get a really good deal on a few cases I just dont want to order them if its not a popular lotion. Please give me some feed back to help me decide what I sould. Thanks for your help. Also this website is great. I have learned alot from all the different forum. |

Rep Power: 23 | I've never heard of this product. If you are new to the industry go with the tried and true--John Abate, Cal Tan, TOB, Supre. Don't buy something just because a telemarketer will "give" you a good deal. And NEVER buy anything unless you try it first. |

Rep Power: 23 | Sorry, I have never heard of this one. I have heard of LA Express (very bad idea). Have you ever tried this product before? Never sell anything that you have not tried or had someone else try. Do you have any other info on the product or the company that is selling it? Did they call you out of the blue with this offer? |

Rep Power: 23 | Don't fall for the "oh, you can ship it back if you don't like it" line, INSIST on a free sample before purchasing anything. If they are calling you, chances are you ain't gonna like the lotion or the deal after it's done. Welcome to Tantalk! |

Rep Power: 24 | This may help you. It's from my Lotion Uiversity (TM) booklet. The Truth About Indoor Tanning Products The FIRST thing tanning product companies don't want you to know ! Is that the basic indoor tanning product formulas are printed in text books. That the raw materials used by the "Major Name Brand" to make premium quality products are available to everyone. The biggest difference between manufacturers is the quality of raw materials they use for their products. Sampling everything for quality is critical to every product name brand. Even some big names among tanning product companies don't have quality products, just high quality profits for themselves and high-pressure telemarketing for you. The SECOND thing tanning product companies don't want you to know ! Tanners will buy what you recommend. Despite the millions of dollars spent by indoor tanning product companies, the vast majority is spent to influence you, not your tanners, to buy their products. Why? Because tanners will buy what you recommend! The THIRD thing tanning product companies don't want you to know ! The price you pay for a tanning product is not directly related to the quality or effectiveness of that product. In today's society many people feel "That you get what you pay for" ; thus, linking the price paid for a tanning lotion to the quality and effectiveness of the tanning lotion itself. That is simply not true! Remember that there are no industry wide standards about ingredients, formulas and pricing. At Soakin' Up The Rays, Inc., our Hemp Rays (TM)@ is a better quality product and more effective tanning product than several $50.00 retail items from the other tanning product companies. After looking at the "PREMIUM PRICED PRODUCTS" you may discover the only thing premium is the PROFITS for the manufacturer. Are more expensive tanning products more effective than less expensive tanning products ? The answer depends on the product. In some cases that is true because with more Magnification, Moisturization and Skin Conditioning ingredients tanning products will work better. But often manufacturer’s spend money on advertising, corporate overhead, wild product packaging, instead of adding more ingredients to benefit your tanning process. I would be happy to send you are anyone a free copy of my educational information booklets about indoor tanning products - Lotion University (TM). _________________ Greg Klesius Soakin' Up The Rays, Inc. 1-800-935-7625 www.Soakinuptherays.com Working to protect tanning salon owner profits from diversion (TM)[ This Message was edited by: Soakinuptherays on 2001-12-13 15:15 ] |

Rep Power: 0 | Eyewarewars is totally correct. You get what you pay for........ The brands that they mentioned are very good.You will have alot of sales people tell you their product is really good and they are going to give you this great deal. That's why they have a job. Be careful. There is alot of junk out there. Have them send you a sample and try it for awhile. First time really doesn't count. Use it three or four times, that will tell you if this is really the product you want. |

Rep Power: 0 | Thanks for all the replies. The lotions are coming for Peacock Tanning aka Avex Industries, LTD. I ordered a few of there booths and as a promo they sent me some of there lotions. I have tried a few, there not all that bad. Just thought I would see if anyone has ever used it before. I dont want to order something that no one buys. I myself had never heard of Express Tan until I got my promo package. From what I have read nobody else has heard of it either. I think Im going to hold off on ordering. Soakinuptherays, If you have any samples you could send me that would be great. Again Thanks for all your help. _________________ Tan Time[ This Message was edited by: tantimeflorida on 2001-12-07 11:17 ] |
