SUGGESTIONS & THOUGHTS FROM KAREN

First, let me say “thanks” for your interest in our line. I hope the information that follows is helpful. If you have suggestions of your own, please feel free to email them to us and I will post them or address them.

If you are a first time customer: I would start with stock products (unless your store has a VERY SPECIFIC THEME OR IS IN A TOURIST AREA). If you only sell products that have roosters on them (for example), then go right ahead and create a custom label. But if you are a Hallmark Shop,  Hospital Gift Shop or a general gift shop without a strong theme or tourist trade, I would suggest going with: (1)  our NEW PERFECTLY NATURAL COLLECTION or (2) our DEMOISELLE, BLISS and/or SEA GARDEN collections in their stock form.  Our best selling collection is: The Sea Garden. The best selling scent is: FLORAL CITRUS which is in the Demoiselle collection.  Other popular scents are: Waterlily & Lotus Flower (from Sea Garden) and Grapefruit Juniper Lavender (from Cowgirl).

Prepacks are the best way to start. I have chosen the best sellers in each collection and many of these packs come with free merchandise to offset the freight cost.

My favorite products to use are our soaps (those are my friend's favotires too!), our supreme crème (I use it under my eyes every night and it has made a BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!), our sea salt scrub, our hand crème, our body mist and our  body lotion.

If you want to do a custom program, I would start with the CSTM05. You can read about it on the product pages once you start shopping. It comes with free product- just for buying the best stuff!! That’s a great deal.  If you have ANY QUESTIONS at all on the custom program or on our products-- please dont hesitate to call (800) 547.7889.

Most of our customers buy more than one collection from us. Many have a custom collection and a stock collection. Some have 5 difference stock collections. Having the variety of styles that we do, allows you to create little vignettes in your store. You can take 5 or 6 products from 4 or 5 of our lines and place them in different areas of your store. This way you don’t have to buy a huge amount of one item. You can try a variety of “looks” and hone in on what works best for you!

Thanks for your time and your business.
