smileys/smiley19.gifThey are sold out of the Bistro minis!! I finally ordered 1 and according to my order, it's not "backordered" or unfilled. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I so hope I get it! What a bummer. I don't like "limited availability!"

Yeah, 1 is ALL I ordered. Not knowing better, thought I'd be able to order more when I have a more funds. smileys/smiley19.gifYou live and learn. I have a total of 2 and I bought the full size set, so I'll probably use that more for displaying and demoing. I need to have higher expectations of myself!
How long do you think BB will be around? I wasn't w/ BC when Margarita made its appearance, so was it re-introduced or did it just stay on without any break up in availability?
Did hear that they limit availability of minis b/c of all those naughty ebaying consultants. I guess if us unlucky ones are desperate and you fortunate ones run out, we'll have to rely on them. Now that I know that, too...different course of action next time!

I know people that sell mini setsfor $25.00. I just can do it because if they signing up later, they will find out and will hate me for over charging.
I believe minis are great gifts to introduce the products and as advertisement. We can claim them as an expense on our taxes.
The beauty of having your own business is that you do what ever you want with it. It is all up to the consumer who choose to pay what we charge them.
God bless your business,

yeah. I just think people will be extremely dissapointed about that. But i supposse as with anything, what goes around come around! good luck!

Margarita was introduced in March 2003 and has been on my shelves ever since! I remember those minis were already gone by the time I signed up. If you want the minis, order them at the beginning of the month! Except the Spa Express Minis which are now a mini set you can purchase all the time.
The only product line that was introduced in March and disappeared by the end of summer was Pina Colada. That was 2004. I personally liked it, but Margarita was a stronger seller.
Just like charging shipping/handling, minis are another area where you can charge what you want when selling them. I don't make a profit on those either. I like to give them away free!
Have a great Sunday!

I give them away for free. I think they make great booking gifts or I've given them to my family just because!

Just because is the nicest gift of all! I totally agree these make fabulous booking gifts!

What seems to be everyones favorite? My clients seem to like the orange cream. Personally I have not desire to smell like a cream sicle but I love the vanilla latte and the ambrosia
03-19-2006, 07:25 PM
The Ambrosia Mist is a great smell! I thought it would be really sweet, but am very happy that it is not. The Vanilla Latte leaves my skin so soft after a shower. I love it! I haven't tried the lemon meringue yet. My Daughter loves the orange cream. I gave her a mini of it.
We now use that along with the Margarita foot lotion, eye pads, heated socks and neck wrap for our own personal spa treatment...so nice to have a girlie girl!

The orange sherbert is the most popular so far with my clients, I personally like everything except the Ambrosia Body Spray.
I hope we keep this line for awhile.

I don't think the shimmer powder smells like anything but powder, I like the orange creme and the vanilla latte, but I don't think the scent lasts very long. My fiance' doesn't like the ambrosia very much. I would love to smell the pina colada stuff. I wish they had a section in the achiever where you could see the stuff they don't carry anymore. I just think it would be neat to see how things have changed.smileys/smiley1.gif

The orange cream is definitely the favorite. I thought I would like the Ambrosia but after I wore it awhile it started smelling really sweet. It was a little much for me.

Has anyone tried the Lemon Meringue bath crystals yet? They smell so good!! I may have to try them out tonight after babysitting all afternoon!
We are expecting snow here tonight too....it's supposed to be Spring! LOL

I love the whole BB line!!!
I sold 5 shimmering powders at one Spa when I applied it on all the ladies who were there and told them that it is an "elegant shimmer not glitter". It gives you a beautiful bronze shimmer color. They were all wearing spaghetti and halter tops so they love the shimmer on their chest and shoulders.
I also sold one Ambrosia body spray, one orange cream and Vanilla latte body cleanser. I haven't sold the bath crystals yet but everyone loves the smell.
I'm so excited about the whole line and share it in all my Spas.This way I can introduce the minis aspre-booking gift. Especially when I discovered that they all love the minis. I did the same with the Thermal del sol minis. First, I talk about the full size product and let them sample it; then I told them they can take the minis if they book a Spa. So, they did.

how has that worked for you? I'm doing my first spa Saturday and am hoping that I can get a show in. At least one.

Girls I just got an email from BC. Because the BB minis were sold out and no longer available they areoffering the BeautiBistro Vanilla Latte Body Mousse Foaming Cleanser (#12876) and Buttercream Frosting Confectionary Shimmering Body Powder (#12878) at sweet savings with a $300 or more Retail order:
March 21-23, order themat savings of $10 off the suggested Retail for each product.
March 24-31 , order them at savings of $7 off the suggested Retail for each product.
Limit of 5 each per order at discounted price.
After your discount, you can afford to offer them as a hostess gifts.
The way I do it is to show excitement for the products, share them, let people sample them and then offer them as booking gifts.
Good luck,
