What type of lotion sells the best and which do you prefer? - tanTALK

What lotion do you sell more of, tingle or non-tingle? Which do you prefer?

The last 2 years I have seen more people going back to non-tingle. I prefer that kind because it seems that you can tell how much darker you get better. Tingle gives "false" results I think. In a few hours all of that is gone ( the redness ).

I have always been a tingle baby, but this past year I have started using more non-tingles. I alternate about every 2-3 tans to a tingle. I think this works well for me.

As for clients, they have dropped from tingle as well. But our best selling lotions are a non-tingle and non-tingle bronzer. Not neccasaily in that order.

I sell alot more non-tingle bronzers. We have the few that love tingle, but alot more like non-tingle bronzers!!

While the redness from tingles wears off, that doesn't mean that the added circulation isn't in fact getting you tan faster than a non-tingle product. Bronzers on the other hand don't do anything for the tanning process.

I suggest to clients to have a bottle of both tingle and non-tingle. And rotate them one week tingle next week non-tingle

I prefer accelerators - straight up! I'm not a tingle girl, but will on occassion use them, although I do not need them. I stay clear of bronzers, especially DHA! I do not like the mess and if you find the right accelerator with actual accelerator ingredients in it you'll nothing more. A true tan does not need tingle or the immediate gratification that a bronzer gives.

I think I agree with electrictanman, it's good to alternate. lil-misfit needs to define the difference between accelerators, intensifiers and maximizers, and deputy dan, as a manufacturer (of lotions I assume) should be telling us what the latest trends are when it come to lotion sales!

We sell what we promote, but we're starting to see more people in the last couple of months actually asking for a bronzer/tingle (but not too hot).

We sell so much brown envy it is amazing.

We have always sold a lot more bronzer products than tingler or "plain" lotions. When we do sell tinglers it is always a product with an added bronzer. For the price your tanners are going to pay for a good tingle product you should offer them the best of both worlds.
