In my extensive research on Arbonne before I signed up, I swear I ran across a sheet that had department store fancy brands (like Lancome, Clinique, Prescriptives) priced in comparison to our RE 9 set. Does that ring a bell with anyone else? And if so, do you remember where I saw it??
Thanks in advance for any help!

I got it from Thea O's askthea.com site. She has tons of info there. Check it out sometime! Very useful info. smileys/smiley1.gifNo, I've never really had any reason to use the comparison with my clients. A few of my gals have already used dept store brands, so they do appreciate the value of our products - especially since they get such good results.
You know what blows my little mind LOL ... *I* think our products are on the expensive side, but you just can't believe how much people spend on beauty, skin care, andnutrition until you start getting clients from all over! Sometimes I have to pick my jaw up when I'm looking at my orders & webstats. Edited by: chrlstoncharmed

I think they're expensive, too! But then, I'm the queen of cheap. My friends apparently are the Princesses of Cheap because none of them bought anything at our first party, so I thought something like this to either pass around or have on the table may be useful. Everyone's heard of Lancome, etc. and to price compare with Arbonne may make it "click" for some of them.
Thanks so much! All the help, encouragement and positive feedback on Arbonne from you gals on this site are why I signed up!

Awesome idea Jennifer ~ thanks for the link Melle ~ I agree Thea's website is awesome!
ETA: I wonder how it compares as far as how long the product lasts. Their bottles may be bigger, but probably last only as long as Arbonne products.Edited by: mahoes

Stacie,
That's a great point about how long things last. Also, I was listening to one of the Learn n' Burns and it was mentioned that the cost of the RE9 set is roughly 57 cents a day. I think few people would think that was too much to pay to look awesome!

Really good point, Stacie! Another thing that is great about the RE9 products is that you don't have to use the entire set to get the benefits of RE9. Unlike many dept store counters, where you feel pressure to buy the whole set ... that isn't necessary with RE9, depending on your skin. For example, a 20 year old may not need the Lift - someone with oily skin may not need the night créme or the serum. Someone who just wants to get rid of uneven pigment might only need the serum and eye créme (kojic acid).
RE9 is so customizable (is that a word?? LOL)!
