if you have the time, and I know if you're not busy you will be soon. Drop by our website and look over our new bottle design and give us some HONEST feedback. If you don't like it say so. If you do please feel free to indicate. http://www.utlotions.com/html/products.html
thanks in advance for your time.

The only thing that has me concerned is that you say you will have online ordering soon and that distributores and salon owners can call for a catalog...

Will you be selling directly to customers...

That is a very hot topic here and I do not agree with having to compete.

Emailed them with questions regarding online ordering and verification of ownership and proceedures.

Will post reply here when I get it.

Hmm...well..ok. What I was really looking for were a few comments on the new bottle design but it appears this isn't a good time. The online ordering program was originally set up for salons. They didn't use it. We took it off. May put it back on again some day. You know how many bottles we sold direct to tanners last year? 3. Tanners want to buy from salons. That's who they trust. They like to try it first usually. You know how many we sold last year to salons? 22,000. In US, Canada, and the UK. And we're still the best kept secret in the industry. But not for long. Distributors are hounding us for our lotion, but that means the state of the art formulas we sell will cost you double. But, you'll pay it because we're the best and your tanners will want it and you can still make money selling it. If I've offended anyone I sincerely apologize and in addition my hat is off to all the quality lotion builders (you know who you are) who have come before us. Nothing makes products better than competition. I won't post here again so please don't reply. To the two who did take the time...gracias. Have a great season.

I haven't had a chance to look at your site yet. I will, and I will give you my honest opinion on your bottle design. But first, I have to address a minor issue. In your last post, you listed prices of products. Herein lies the problem, tanners do read this site, therefore they now know what salon cost is on your product.

I think the Sultry bottles look good. Although, I would change them to not look exactly alike. Maybe keep the labels the same but change the color on one of them.

I like the labels for cool mist, chilled ice and aloe dew, but I noticed that the name of the lotion itself is much smaller than "UT Lotions" and "Lotion Cocktails."

Otherwise, I think they look good.

It hasn't been 24 hours yet, and you're giving up already?

Kimmee · 01-22-2002, 08:24 AM

electric lizard,

I am sorry if I offended you but that was in no means what I intended to do. You ask for some honest feedback, and yes you stated about your new bottle design, but I gave my honest opinion about another aspect of your website.

When asking for honest opinions ... you should try not to be too "thin skinned" if you know what I mean.

HOT · 01-22-2002, 11:01 AM

You did a good job! The only negative I noticed was the mis-spelled word almond.

Good luck.
