Packettes or cups????? - Page 2 - tanTALK

Wow, $5 or $6 for cups. We use cups to help promote a new or slow moving product and for products that dont have packettes, but we sell them for $2 incl. sales tax. Seems to help clients be able to check out different products.

we do both but packettes do the best

$3 or cups, $5 for packettes, each sell well.

Cups here.. Makes the money.... One one 32 oz pump I buy of the good stuff... ( worship is a big seller)... I make about 80-100$ on it. Customers seem to like to pay me 3$ at a time.. fine with me... I make twice selling shots as I do bottles... GReAT!

Tingle lotions will eat through the cups sometimes as well.

I have read elsewhere that some salon owners think carrying sample cups is trashy looking...
What do the rest of you salon owners think of this...like I stated before I carry some sample cups..not alot, but I never thought of them looking bad...

We didn't carry any samples for awhile and I think that adding them has increased our overall lotion sales. some people will pay $6 for a sample each and every time while others will purchase a more expensive bottle after having sampled it.

It is just a matter of opinion Christina. Packettes are more attractive, but cups do sell. I guess it depends on the salon owner. huh?

I think it depends on your presentation also... It also depends on how well you sell the cups..If they sit around and become oily & crusty and you try to continue selling them..then well..you hit "trashy".. but if they are something you sell well and maintain well then ok. We only sell a few lotions in the cups..We do have sample bottles for customers just interested in trying before they buy but we also have a lot of waitress' that live day to day (always buy fee packages and always purchase packettes only and we cannot continue to give them samples so the cups work here)
