I really had no idea where to start (or stop) when I started stocking my shelves just before I opened so I ended up really buying a little bit of everything. Now I am trying to tighten up and shorten my CT line just a little.

Out of the bronzer with tingles would you all say that Caramel Spice is better, or Almond Spice?

And what is really the diff. in Cocoa and Pure Chocolate?

Thanks,
shallee

Caramel spice has bronzers, while almond doesn't. It's also hotter. Pure chocolate is sweeter-smelling that Cocoa. Cocoa almost smells dusty. Both good, but pure chocolate is better.

Cocoa is an older step 2 product with Cu02 and DHA.

Pure Chocolate is a brand new 2002 step 2.
It has the new Bronzextend complex~bronzing Acivator
It also has Cu02 fortified with trf2000...which is good moisturization and amplyfies the dark color.

neon, I would keep both the almond and carmel spices. they both have been good sellers for me in the past. But you will see what works for your area. These are hot lotions, so it may be a little while before your clients are ready to make that step up. I also done well with Hot Chocolate and I think Pure Chocolate will do good this year.

It is what you push, that sells. And if you can't push it then later on in the season have a clearence sale on selected items.

I don't currently carry either of these but when I did, I found the Almond Spice was a better seller for me. Perhaps because it is cheaper, not sure. I'm not a big fan of the Cocoa, more people would buy the Hot Chocolate from me even though that is a Step 1 product, I think the smell was a big reason. Customers would rather the chocolatey smell than the dusty Cocoa.

Caramel...nice smell but Hot and slightly high price.

Almond...stinks but has an average price.

Hot Choc...can't keep it stocked fast enough.

Pure Choc...Great price, smells great, buy the duos, comes with a samll bottle of Immersion for free. They sell fast!

Cocoa...I think it streeks and it smells like spice cake. People like it in our area.

Dark Sexy...(Matahari) IT ROCKS!! Smells great, goes on perrrfect!!

Sexy Tan...(Matahari) IT ROCKS ALSO!! Try the duos buy the sexy tan and you get a small dark sexy for free.

Even though I do not like tingly HOT lotions that much anymore....I must say Caramel Spice has such a great scent! it was my very own first lotion that I bought from Cal tan..and when i first put it on my skin....I looked like I was in the sun for a month....WITHOUT going in the tanning BED!!!!
For me it is strong stuff...and did I say the scent is great.....such a sweet caramel scent...

I love almond spice!!! how ever it really isn't average price...
You get more in a Carmel Spice bottle then you do in a Almond Spice.
So therefore the customer purchases another bottle faster is the concept of the fewer ounces I believe.
My personal is Almond.

I prefer Hot Choclate, and Cocoa over Pure Choclate.
We have had three clients get a little reaction to the Pure Choclate.(little rashy..nothing a bit of benadryl didn't take care of). Cocoa is a must on our shelf.
Carmel Spice is not as popular at our studio compared to the Almond.
I think it really depends on how you program your clients buying habits.
If you and your staff prefer one or another that is what you will tend to sell.


Cub Reporter,
