Re: Considering Devoted

Pure line didn't go over great so I have slowly weeded it out except for PURE MANTRA as that is still a good seller.

Tryst & Vision do well.

Praise has done ok but will replace it with the new Retro Couture as it is a lot better Hypoallergenic lotion.

Carrying the following New 09 lotions and doing well with them:
Posh Couture
Sport Couture
Flex
Hybrid

Flex & Hybrid are nice to get people started using lotion as the price is low. But the bottle is smaller (which they don't really notice) so they use it fast.
Once the bottle is gone it's easy to move them into a more expensive lotion as they are use to using lotion and are seeing results but are ready to go to the next level.

"Tryst & Vision do well."

Really? Those are the two I am dumping two for one right now, just to clear those out. The smell kills em. Vision smells like sugar cookies and tryst is like coconut concentrate.

But the new smaller bottles are indeed great. I do wish the main line had smaller ones...

Re: Considering Devoted

My mum recently bought us this stuff called "Golden Grace" by devoted creations, it doesn't have any paraben.
What line is this from?

...I think we got ripped off a bit because it was $77 purchased from fabutan, and here I find the same bottle on the net available for $27 something...

I have yet to try it out for myself.

It says it has a "Triple Silicone Blend" in it,
does anyone know what the diddly that is supposed to do?

(better not be diddly sh*t)

Re: Considering Devoted

^^ Oh look, another "your salon tanning prices are too high" because you buy lotion online.

Suggested retail for Golden Grace is $60. You did pay too much at $77. But buying online for $27? Good luck with that one. Most of the time its old, spoiled or defective - or - filled with something else. Drano works well for the tingle effect in some lotions!

Re: Considering Devoted

Fabutan is Canandian, they pay more than we do for lotion, so 77.00 is high to us but up there??

Have switched out lotions line to MRI and Devoted w/ a smattering of others. Great lotion great price points, and great shelf presence. The lotion wall has never looked so good.

Most important, Customers like it, and buy it.

Re: Considering Devoted

We love DC here too.

Posh
Bleeding Love
With Love
Devoted to Couture
Vision
Needing Nirvana
Glory
Unity
Tryst
Golden Grace
Seeking Serenity
Haute Couture

*Can't get rid of Trinity - just smells HOT, but works awesome!
* Couldn't get rid of Pure line or Green line. Not for all customers
Just a few who are very label conscious.

Waiting now for the new DC Code to arrive.
Supposed to be "Black on steroids"

Very consistent products, a type/smell/level for every tanner.
No price point issues.
We sell Unity & Praise for $60 and can't keep them in stock.

Re: Considering Devoted

I ordered a few samples of DC for myself and really liked them. I decided to slowly phase out my DS stuff and replace it with DC. I just got my first order of DC products today and within 2 hours I sold out of Praise.
