PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT 'Tis the Season to... EXFOLIATE    Exfoliating & lightening with a dose of Vitamin C, the Total Resurfacing Masque can be considered a true at-home "mini peel." If used 1 - 3 times per week, this product will slough off the dead skin cells and also lighten brown spots, keeping the skin glowing & resurfaced - hence the name!   Winter is here, and therefore it's that time of year to really exfoliate, speed up cell turnover and bring on that new skin.   Ingredients to note: Glycolic, lactic & salicylic acids - AHA and BHA Exfoliants Papaya - Enzyme exfoliant Micro crystals - for physical exfoliation L-Ascorbic acid - Vitamin C/antioxidant Bearberry - Natural lightener Hyaluronic Acid - "Super"

Image Skincare in San Francisco - Max Eye Creme is a Hit!

The Max Eye Creme is amazing I would recommend looking at the tear sheet on it in our product treatment manual.
There are 3 stem cell strains + peptides so it is a 4 in 1 product for
WINKLES
DARK CIRCLES
PUFFINESS
DEHYDRATION
GREAT for elongating the life of facial fillers (as is the whole MAX line) and botox. There are botox like peptides/ingredients see page 26.

It can be effectively paired with our total eye lift creme(pm)
No samples. Just retail size.

Thank you.

Janna Ronet - Founder of Image Skincare in the News.......

Marcia Heroux Pounds Sun Sentinel Columnist

5:18 p.m. EDT, May 18, 2011

Image Skin Care, founded by Janna Ronert seven years ago, recently purchased a 35,000-square-foot building in Lantana and will move its headquarters later this year from West Palm Beach. The new building also will serve as an education center for its licensed estheticians who sell the company's products to dermatologists, plastic surgeons and medical spas in 28 countries.
Ronert projects $40 million in revenue this year, a 70 percent revenue increase
from 2010. Image Skin Care is competing in a difficult economy by pricing its
products at $55 or below. Consumers "are no longer looking for the fancy package
for $200," Ronert said.

Janna Ronert, founder of Image Skin Care in West Palm
Beach, learned from her father, a Nebraskan farmer, the art of "deliberate practice,
which is doing one thing and doing it well."Ronert says she has followed her father's advice by stressing education at her company. Dad's advice paid off: Image Skin Care, which sells skincare products directly to plastic surgeons, dermatologists and medical spas, is projecting $40 million in sales this year.

LONG BEACH, Calif., May 05, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Obagi Medical Products, Inc. /quotes/comstock/15*!ompi/quotes/nls/ompi OMPI +3.17% , a leader in topical aesthetic and therapeutic skin health systems, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. While the Company recorded a net loss on a GAAP basis, on a non-GAAP basis it recorded net sales improvement of 10.6% and a profit increase of 25.8% year over year. The Company also announced two material developments that had an impact on the quarter's results, a litigation settlement with Zein Obagi, ZO Skin Health, Inc. and related parties, as well as developments related to the regulatory status of certain of the Company's products in the state of Texas

Obagi Texas Regulatory Matter ..public document from their stock website.

During a meeting with the Company held near the end of April 2011, the Texas Department of State Health Services and the Texas State Attorney General's office, informed the Company that they believe 4% hydroquinone, a key ingredient in certain of the Company's product offerings, can no longer be shipped into Texas. The products remain available in all other states. These products are designed to alleviate visible skin conditions in adults, including photodamage, hyperpigmentation, soft tissue deficits and melasma. Following the meeting with Texas state officials, Obagi voluntarily ceased shipping such products to doctors in Texas and has recorded a sales return and allowances provision of $1.9 million in the first quarter, which had a gross margin impact of $1.6 million. The Company expects to continue discussions with Texas authorities to seek resolution of this matter.

"We are disappointed by the unexpected position taken by the State of Texas, however we are fully complying with its request to cease shipment of our hydroquinone products in the state," stated Hummel. "While Texas accounted for 8.8% of our 2010 revenues, we are continuing to distribute our cosmetic and OTC products in the state and we are looking into the possibility of making certain non hydroquinone products, which we distribute in various international markets, available to Texas-based doctors."

Sampling: How to Do it Right with Image Skincare

This question came in from a client recently:

"I have a question for you, when you  have clients purchase their after care kits after

their treatments that call for it, how do you price it into the treatment? And how

much do you charge? The Post Home Care Kits are now xx.xx each our price, so I am trying

to incorporate how to price it, for example if someone gets a peel or 4 layer facial

would you tell them they have to purchase the kit separately or would you put

it into the cost of the treatment, if you could give me some ideas that would be great

I am trying to put together my pricing."

Thank you for this great question:

FIRST AND FOREMOST:
On all orders over 500.00 you receive 10% back to you in Gratis. This means free dollars to spend on samples from the Image Skincare Line, Tri- Kits, Trial Kits and Marketing Materials. Most clients don't realize that if they kept all of their small orders and put them into one, one time a month they would actually maximize the amount of free gratis dollars they could accumulate towards samples!!
Just as a side note: Gratis dollars can also be used on T-Shirts, Treatment Manuals, Videos and Shelf Talkers! How great is that??!!

Here are some examples of ideas to consider:

Lets start with how to quickly convert the client that typically buys nothing or buys the bare minimum from your business/spa.
1. Option to have the client purchase the products to try at a discount the day of the service. It is a great treatment incentive and a very smart way to send the client who would otherwise purchase nothing home with some of your fabulous homecare and better your professional advice on how best to incorporate it into their daily regimen. In this case I would recommend offering the kit at the WS price.

For all clients as a Treatment Special for a given month.
For this coming month you may want to do a Mom's, Grandmom's  and Mr. Mom's Special.
2. Option to incorporate a particular Trial Pack with a particular treatment. For example if you are doing the
Image 4 Layer treatments, the Vital C kit might work well.
In this case the cost of the kit is rolled into the price of the treatment. Again, your homecare and professional advise are the final selling points here for the client. It is also great to use our prescription pads to remind the client of any other suggested products or just as a refresher on the routine -- should they forget once they are home alone.

A Must Do: Display the kits on the retail shelves and use a shelf talker that points out that the Image Skincare Trial kits are airline friendly and easy to take to the gym or on the go. You can remind clients that they do not have to compromise their skincare routine when these kits are available to them.
3. Option to just sell the kits at a said retail price - some clients mark up 50% others mark them up 100%. You decide what will motivate your clients to purchase! 

Smart Marketing:
4. Option to use the Trial kit as a gift with purchase incentive. For example if the client is purchasing for $100.00 worth
of homecare the Trial kit is (we will use the new Post Kit as the example here) a 30.00 gift with purchase incentive on the day of their service.  This is a special treat for those clients who love to feel like you are pampering them even more at the cash register :)

Monthly Special Idea:
5. Option for the day of service is to have the client rebook and pre-pay for their next appointment and receive a gift of a custom Trial kit. Remember we have all varieties, Vital C, Ormedic, Clear Cell, Ageless and the New Post Kits that includes the following 5 products: Ormedic Cleanser, Hydrating Enzyme Mask, Skin Lightening Serum, Max Creme, Ultimate 35 SPF. 

I find that when you give something away it becomes less valuable however, when you value something it retains its value and gains a following.
The way the trial kits are ment to work is to increase sales for you and to help grow your income each and every month.
This idea resonates with the goal of working smarter and not harder.
If you are doing a sound job of retailing 3 or more products to each client I think you can give a gift with purchase on the day of the treatment as a nice thank you to the customer but make sure they rebook too :)

Best,
Stephani Ramirez RN LME
