Positive UV exposure information

First of all, as with anything, you will sell what you use. So the first thing is to get using as many products as you can to see what they do for you. I feel that I can talk intelligently about most of the products because I have used them. When a new product is released I order it right away and try it myself.

Depending on your market there are different product lines that will appeal more or less.

For the under 30 crowd is the Intelligence and F.Y.I. lines. These are formulated for younger skin and lifestyles. The packaging is fun for that age group as well.

For the over 30 crowd you have the NutriMinC RE9 or RE9 for short. This is the anti-aging line which is also used for prevention.

Then for everyone are the SeaSource detox spa, aromatherapy, nutrition & weight loss and cosmetic lines.

Pick a few things that you want to start with, your favorites and build from there. I carry everything in my salon except the cosmetics. Those I special order for customers. But I have had it in my salon for 11+ years. Start with one or two lines and work with your clients to build their love of Arbonne.

I keep catalogs all around my lobby area. I suggest you do the same. When someone sees something in the catalog that you don't carry just let them know you can order it for them. And get their payment up front. That way you don't have to carry as much inventory.

Remember that Arbonne is about as natural as you can get it without keeping it in the fridge. It uses less than 1% preservatives so you don't want to have it hanging around a long time. 2 years at most.

Keep the questions coming!

Not sure if we should post in existing threads for new questions, but this is kinda related to recs anyway. Those Fizzy tabs, how do they taste in water? also in the pictures, they look large. could they fit into a water bottle? I've been thinking how we could use products for our existing crowd since maybe items would be great for them, but I see as a hard sell. The fizzy tabs seem like they could be a natural fit. Would it be a good comparision to say they are like healthy versions of the popular energy drinks? While the tabs seem a little pricey, at just over $1 per serving they are much cheaper than the $3-4 energy drinks.

Yes we do a good business with the fizzy tabs. At retail they come out to $1.40 per serving so that is much better than a typical energy drink and they taste really good. You take a tab, break it in half (they are perforated) and drop it any bottled water. They dissolve in 5 - 10 minutes. They have green tea, vitamin B6 and B12 and lots of other good things. So they are a "good for you" energy drink that tastes good.
No sugar either.

We keep a bottle of cold bottle of fizzy in the fridge and give out little samples in dixie cups to customers. We tell them you can always find a bottle of water and just keep the box of fizzies in your car, backpack or purse.

Ok, I'll post it here but do you still have unwind Sea Salt Scrub? My mom said she had a friend in NJ that started selling Arbonne but stopped. They gave that product to her as a thank you and my mom said she loved it. She was looking online and could not find it. Was it discontinued?

Kathe · 07-13-2008, 09:45 AM

It is part of the holiday line. It's only available Sept through Dec. They have the Awaken salt scrub all year. I have one Unwind tucked away if she really wants one you can get it from me.

It is quite yummy!!

RCKnep3 · 07-13-2008, 02:26 PM

Thanks for the offer, I think she just thought you did not offer it anymore. I let her know she can get it come sept and told her about the awaken.

eyecandytanning · 07-13-2008, 11:02 PM

Ok I am super confused (yes I know, nothing new) i keep adding things to my cart and trying to figure out what i need etc.

Basically i want to get the best deal (as we all do). I want the vitamins and the detox, the fizzy tabs and maybe some eye cream...any suggestion on what else i should order to get the best bag for my buck? is there just a list of "here order this the first time?" I am a bit overwhelmed.

Thanks!
