Zoe Girl - tanTALK

hi all
I'm opening a salon here in the uk early next year and thinking about which lotions to stock heard about Cali tans Zoe Girl and was wondering if it is available here. what does everybody think of it?

zoe is a great looking package and a decent product. However, I haven't sold 1 bottle yet after having it for 1 month. I think it looks too cute and girly to be taken seriously.

So far it has done ok. I sold a number of the holiday bash kits (3 lotions - $45 price point). We have also sold a couple of the individual bottles. I am waiting until season to really evaluate how well it does. It is hard in the winter to really determine if something is a great seller or just a good seller.

Packaging is some of the best I've seen...catches the attention quick and we've done well with it.

I wish the bottles were easier to squeeze. It's kind of hard to get the product out especially after you have some of it on your hands. It always amazes me that so much research and development can go into a product yet something so obvious can be overlooked. I'm giving it a try because I have confidence in CalTan but if too many people get ticked at the bottles, there won't be many repeat sales happening.

I'm thinking about purchasing Zoe just because I know before prom all the teens will be in and the bottle looks appealing. But for 5 oz bottles do you think it can really sell at the retail price or do you think people look at how much their money is getting them? I've tried Zoe and it smells good so I'm still contemplating.

I agree with tcn813.
The bottles are very hard to squeeze-because they are square corners. I'm wondering how much product is going to be wasted because you can't squeeze it all out. Nice look to the bottles though. Pricing is not that bad, compared to other Cal Tan products. Nice smell. I sell them $20 ech or 2/$30 to get them to mix & match. Nice counter display comes with them also. They just need to change the bottle shape.

I totally agree about the poor bottle design. I really love the smell of these products though. I have had alot of success selling to the last minute vacationer who comes in 2 weeks before their trip and wants a good quality lotion - but not a huge bottle or large price tag. Also the HS girls and some of our "older" trendsetters.

If you are looking for product to target the teenage crowd I would suggest Emerald Bay and the new Synergytan line. I believe the new Swanky Girl line is going to be a big hit this year. Attractive packaging, with catchy names at reasonable prices.
