Re: Say Goodbye...

One would have thought that with all the marketing and packaging of the new product, they would have given it a go for this season. O' well they'll be more to follow them.

I think we will see more companies closing as part of the decline of the industry and economic times.

Great people and Great products just the wrong time to start a company.

The problem is salon owners don't buy quality they buy cheap and then ***** when they can't get 80% off or make 600% markup OR they'll trash a company for trying to make money even though there was never any intention of carrying the product to begin with.

Re: Say Goodbye...

I think lotion companys spend too much on creating new bottles and graphics for products that arent really new ,same goop different bottle ,different fragrance...why not just come up with 1 or 2 new products per season to lower packaging cost and r&d

Because after selling the same goop in my salon, how am i going to add excitement to my lotion sales and my customers with only 2 new products? They'll go online and look for new lotions that i don't carry.

Which means i have to now carry 50 different lines.

I don't want to. I want to carry 1 or 2 Manufacturers!!!

That's why.

because it's actually CHEAPER for them to make tons of bottles of seemingly different lotions than just 1 or 2 AND it make them look like they have more going on having so many choices even though 90% of them are TRASH.

Remember they have to make the lotion and the more base lotion you make the cheaper it is. So what they do is make say 100K bottles worth of base lotion and spread it out over 5 bottles...which are all exactly the same blank bottle (the more they buy the cheaper they are) that's just shrink wrapped (cheapest part of the entire process)

This is why when we buy the starter kits there will be 5 lotions, 1 is REAL GOOD, 1 is ok, 2 suck and 1 is bad before you open it. They are just adding crap to the base lotion and play the hope and pray game that they all work.

They don't and we fall for it EVERY DAMMMMMMED YEAR!!!!

But it comes with 10 free packettes!!!! FREE!!!! PACKETTES!!!!!!

This is also the reason why they aren't worth SRP. They aren't working on fulling a demand. They are creating a demand to meet the supply...or not...which is why you find them all over the grey market cause they create a surplus of product before it even hits the market.

And remember these are only good for about 2 years so they either move them or eat them.

When you supply the grey market there are no ethics, rules or anything to follow so they can sell for 2cents over cost and there won't be anyone to complain. If they do they don't really exist anyway.
