Need Advise

SChajin · #1 12-15-2006, 04:19 PM

We are revamping the barefoot traveler, I know there are few prices listed but the catalog page is being redone completly.

I would like your opinion on the clear travel bag.....Keep it or lose it.

Thank you in advance.

Hi

I am a bag person and I think it is a good looking bag. Also the bag is very functional in this time and day where travelling has been made complex! As a travel bureau/advisors I believe your clients will greatly appreciate your attent to details and the need for you to make traveling a more enjoyable experience.

Some people may or may not like the style, but the idea I am sure they will understand.

SChajin · #3 12-15-2006, 04:31 PM

Thanks, I like it too. I wanted feedback before I but a ton of them.

Hola Sharon,
I have not yet seen the bag, but saw this on your homepage...disposable "underware" should be "underwear"
and I would suggest on this...
Just in the planning stages of your vacation, visit our Travel pages for some great travel ideas and packages.
taking out the comma and Just in the planning stages of your vacation? Visit our Travel pages for some great travel ideas and packages.

Hi Sharon,
Not sure about the bag. I have enough with the 3oz zip bags already. However, have seen some very fashionable purses that are clear, so never know what consumers will pick up on.

well Sharon i haven't gotten a hold of my feminine self yet so i asked my wife she said that the bag is nice looking but she would never purchase it due to it being clear and doesn't want anyone seeing what she is carrying. cause as she states some not all woman place there personal items and wallets in them for safe keeping, if someone was to see anything it would be disastrous and embarrassing. so she said to lose it.

Sharon - think the bag is a very good idea and the sidposable underwear is great - where were you when i needed some for 21 days in china? - site looks good - safety tips - no expensive jewelry - have seen women get the earrings ripped right out of their ears - no long straps on purses - keep under arm - always let someone know where you are going for the day just a few things i've learned

Bumpity-bump-da-bumpster!

Personally? See-thru bags are useful in smaller sizes at the security gate, but that's all. Most people are not inclined to "show-off" all their articles, and they are definitely not suited even for the beach -- most of the time we try to keep things out of the sun, right? This being such a larger size, even the first appearance seems awkward somehow......the novelty of plastic is neat (lightweight, shiny, wipable, etc.) but methinks it would be a viable value if offered in colors instead.

And....for the life of me......I am still tweaking on the disposable underwear. I understand it, but rather odd. Half of me mentally checks off the box "Made in China" and the other half flashes back to the Depends commercials.......sorry!
LOLOL

It's coming along just fine, Sharon.....good for you!

Bethers · #13 12-15-2006, 10:58 PM

Vasili, please do not fall off your chair - I agree with everything you just wrote. In it's entirety.

I wouldn't buy the clear bag of that size - but for small bags to use for make-up and toiletries - they would be nice when travelling.

I also think I'd not buy disposable underwear.

Now, what the rest of the world will do - that's another question, so I wouldn't make your decision based on me :)

choco777 · #14 12-15-2006, 11:00 PM

Sorry Sharon, but I agree with Vasili on the bag. Smaller bags are much more feasible but probably won't even be useful for any extended period of time at security, I'm sure it isn't here, even on foreign carriers. The underwear I think, however shy people are to admit it, it is a viable practical product. Shouldn't even mention the ability to be washed, the disposablity and good price is the main idea...have to buy more or need to replace=good product not to mention profits. Can you get exclusive or territorial rights?
Didn't like the mosquito wristband? Sold well here. but it is okay. Looking forward to the completion or revamping of an already beautiful site.

SChajin · #15 12-15-2006, 11:36 PM

OK Guys, Thanks this is what I'm looking for and its why I asked......I knew I could count on all of you. I just didn't want to buy a container full until I had this feedback.

On the underwear....This stuff is great...Looks Great, you would never know....Even have thongs. Soft, very comforable...again you would never know you can just take them off and toss them.

Choco, Probably can get exclusive here, if I buy enough. When I get done you are more then welcome to park on my site.

Beth.....you surprise me!
Usually we are on the same page, so I wonder why you would feel I am at the other end of the field when we play??

I still get that funny feeling trying to really give disposable underwear a good consideration! LOL Maybe because I tend to imagine it being like that fake cloth stuff like for **** booties in the hospital, or the thought of buying something and *disposing* it like some dirty rag or something --maybe I was raised too "old school" or something.......and.....what happens if you run out?? LOLOL

choco777 · #17 12-16-2006, 12:25 AM

I know where Vasili is coming from and I think it is more of Sharon selling not, not from the purchasers view point, of using. Maybe I'm wrong? If you run out Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllll! Bad planning?????? but the fact that they are disposable is the idea they must reorder at some point or in the future, which is one point in considering a product, I know Vasili understands that if you build a product that never runs out where is the profit...now you're just doing good deeds for others, that is ok too, but ????????
