Re: What are your best sellers????????

Our topsellers:
Black, Smile your dark, Posh Couture, Pink Diamond, Bombshell, Mischief, Torment, It seems a lot of people purchase Designer Skin, Devoted Creations, Three Wishes, and Supre. I'm trying to stay away from most australlian Gold, and swedish beauty, only a few of our customers use them because they like the name since it' familiar to them. Everyone else purchases DS mostly.
My price points are
$25
$30
$45
$60
I put them on individual shelves according to price with the lowest on bottom and expensive on top. I can say that we sell a good amount of lotion because we are cheaper than most in our area. So a lot of people come to us just because of that (well and because of our beds )(lol). Also have a larger selection of packets compared to bottles.

Re: What are your best sellers????????

^^ Thats why I concentrate on no more than 3 lines and really only sell DC as my main. I would rather have the staff know one lines REALLY well then sorta know a bunch of others.

Besides, there are too many lotions that are similar between lines.

Re: What are your best sellers????????

I have a lot of variety but only from 3-4 lines. My staff is taught in training on all of the lotions. But I have been very lucky and have not had a lot of turnover. I pay a little extra but it's worth it to get better employees and people that will stay.

Go onto the lotion's website- most of them have infomation on each lotion, including information sheets you can print, with information like smell, ingredients, who it's recommended for, etc. AG, DS, CT, & SW (maybe others as well) also have "Webinars" online that you can watch at any time, informing about their new lotions.

Re: What are your best sellers????????

Speaking of best sellers, Retro Couture is our number one this year. The smell sells it and the dark results are par for the course! :)

Hey Unity- you tried Golden Grace yet?

I REALLY liked it. I'm going to try Retro on our next order.

I also used MRI- That's Hot on my legs the other night and got a lot of color. I'm not a tingle fan but it was just the boost my legs needed.

Re: What are your best sellers????????

Tingle on legs = good.

Tingle everywhere = crazy person.

Anyway, I cant stand the smell of Golden Grace. Clients did not like it either. This was last year and at the time Trinity we had in smelled "icky" too. So I stopped carrying it for the summer. Now I carry it again and it smells good.

So unless Golden Grace no longer smells like a lady in a retirement home who wet her bed then maybe I will order some again. The smell was so bad, according to clients who tried it, I threw away the remaining samples.

Now Retro is amazing. I had a few, 3, bottles come in yesterday. They all sold. I have more coming in today.

I know that a salon sells what it tends to like the most. But at $55 people are buying it up like crazy and lotion sales are up 40% over last year.... so.....

Re: What are your best sellers????????

The DC flex,hybrid and Sync have replaced their AG counterparts and customers love them.

Starting to carry more and more DC.The Trinity is the hottest seller,unlike the AG equivalents,its a better color bronzer and is not splotchey like intoxicating or unforgiven
