Lower-end lotion line - Page 2 - tanTALK

Funny when I went to order Fiji for the first time my sales girl goes "Fiji is a good line because Fiji doesn't allow diversion!"
What the **** is that suppose to mean I didn't think any of them "allowed" it...... And besides its the distributors faults as much as the makers..... grrrr

They are all diverted, but some are the big-players, and I say screw them.

DS is going to feel it after this year... Most Ebayer buy what they see we sell, if we don't sell it they wouldn't trust it as much....Plus they have wasted our time hearing a sells pitch on only to log on to buy it..... DS is going to notice drop and FIJI is going to rocket in sales this year:)~
Luckily I have alot of older clients who understand how business works and also don't want to order online ,wait, pay shipping etc...... I ordered one thing off ebay a few years ago but after seeing lotions on there I boycott it I will pay 30 dollars more for my Vera Bradly purse today because its helping the small business that carries them..... Yes people who sell on ebay are a small business in themsleves, but I support the traditional store front!

You swayed my decision, I went with mostly Fiji too.

The cheers line is a fun line for hs/college kids. Its ok stuff imo, very cheap though. Pro Tan is a nice line too.

Have you decided to carry it? If so, is it doing well?

tanheather34 · 01-24-2007, 08:40 AM

Marca, I haven't decided to carry it yet. I got some samples at the Las Vegas expo and I liked it as did my employees. Still considering it.

I am really leaning toward Fiji and getting away from DS. I tried Pro Tan last year, didn't do well.
