Who was first?! - tanTALK

After seeing Zoe Girl (Cal Tan) and Swanky Girl (Synergy Tan) at the show....I'm wondering who stole the idea from whom?!?!? Do you really think this is just a coincidence that both have cartoon girls for their lotions? Your thoughts?

Zoe has been in the works for a long time you can check trademark date! Swanky has yet to be registered.

Actually they both remind me of the girl on the Drama Queen bottle.....

Excellent observation pamtannails!

Swanky will probably do good...that bigger bottle clients are going for..just look at the DS line.

I felt that way too except the prices are higher than our teen tanners usually want to pay. Even though Zoe ends up being more expensive ounce for ounce, I think they will spring for the $19.50 price easier. I hope, cause that is the one I ordered.

I bought the new Zoe line too. I hope it goes well. We will see. I haven't tried the samples yet to see how well they work. But I am working on that. Anyone tried any of the lotions from that line? If so how well do they work?

I am still a little leary about the small size. I am glad they have a counter display. I will be trying things out using this display before I stock my shelves with it.

Just looking at my price point sheet this morning...that swank is selling for 30 to 43 for the heat...you are looking at 12.5oz bottle...i dunno girls and guys...i would say the client will go for the larger bottle, and you can always put free tanning sessions with it....Havent tried either though...I still think the DS will always sell better. Keep us informed to see how it ZOE moves.
