I haven't sold one bottle from my Hippy Chick display. Once again, all the things I like in the catalogue and order never sell. I have to order things I don't like the look of I guess.

Listen i'll tell you from experience, Displays don't sell. there a unnecessary addon lotion companies try to tell you work but dont. Best bet put them on a shelf, and move then around advertise it more come up with a line or have em in the closet and be like hey i just got this in cant be released for another month thats how new it is... but i can get it to you for $$$ Best bet works everytime !!

Talk to your disty, you can possibly trade for something that does sell...

I agree displays just do not work. I bought just the bottles of Ray Of Light nicely put them on the desk where clients were able to pick them up and read the bottle. One week we sold all 15. Yeah no fancy smancy display just a nice arrangement on the desk with nothing else on it to distract from the bottles.

Sandi, we brought the hippie chick on as a more economically priced level 1 lotion so we had something in a price range our younger tanners could afford. That way they get the benefits of lotion and we get a little higher ppa than if they hadn't bought any. It has sold really well with the younger females that tan here.
You can also pitch the fact that it has a light shimmer to it. I've noticed these younger girls like anything that shimmers (eyeshadow, lip gloss, etc...why not add their tanning lotion to that list!!)

we tried it out & it is a half decent starter lotion - i dont know if your display came with the tingle one as well, but both are pretty good & appeal to the teens, especially with prom season & spring break approaching

i got so e decent color from it & the scent & texture are nice, not sticky & not TOO shimmery

When I ordered my first shipment of lotions my supplier told me that I had to buy the ZOE Girl special that she had going and that I would be calling her back to order more in a week.....Well, the week has turned into almost one year and I have sold 2 bottles of the stuff. I think I will have a " buy one get one free" special to get it off my shelf. I will NEVER buy ZOE Girl again. I was too trusting in the beginning and she got me, but thanks to experience and this wonderful board I am able to make more informed decisions.

Just to let you know why....All the bronzing lotion looked like spoiled milk and the other lotions had a spoiled smell to them.

Thanks!

Zoe girl was a pain to get rid of. You know you might want to get those nice mesh bags from Cal Tan and say do a starter kit put 2 zoes and the moisturizer and maybe some peepers and a lip gloss. You might be able to get rid of it easier adding theextra little goodies that dont cost much!

I took some out of the display and arranged them in the cabinet with the other lotions. Hopefully that will make a difference. *crosses fingers*

I agree disp. are bs. We arange our products neatly on glass shelves. We have an old supre glass tower we keep some stock in it seems to do well because ist glass on for sides and it has a lock on it. other then that its on the shelves.
