Title: 2005 Artesian Spas
Post by: hottubber on February 17, 2005, 05:37:46 pm
Finally...I've ordered my first truckload of Artesian Spas. I am really excited about the opportunity to display and sell the line from Artesian, especially the Platinum, Piper Glen. With over 24 years of retail spa sales under my belt, I've finally bitten the bullet and in a big way.
I have been looking for a new and different product line for years, it is finally happening. The display will consist of 2 Platinum, 3 Gold another 7 Island Series spas. I can't wait.
It's funny how after such a long time in this industry, I can still get excited over a spa. Any insight from exsisting Artesian dealers? What works for you? Please advise... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

2 yrs ago we displayed the Gold Emerald but it didnt sell well So last year we dropped it.  
2004 we had: The Piper Glen loaded, Onyx, Gr Bahama ( loaded w/ waterfall, stereo, & lights), Gr Cayman, 2 Antiguas ( 1 loaded out ) , the Santa Cruz, and the Cabo 28 jet w/ stereo.

This year we are keeping all of those and adding the Dove Canyon, Ruby, Saba, & Lapaz

Let me be the first to say, I really appreciate the feedback from this board, whether it be positive or negative. Are there only 2 Artesian dealers out there that can give insight on their products or are they ashamed of their selection of spas?
How about homeowners, any isues??

I started this post to get some feedback about the product, Artesian. I don't know where it is going now.
I think I'm being confused with another dealer here.
Please , fill me in ???

Hair,

The guy your referring to isn't the same person here - so your insulting the wrong person - LOL !:o

HE IS PROBABLY THE SUNDANCE DEALER THAT YOU TALKED TO!!!!

He has contacted me as he is a dealer here in NJ and I thought he was the same dealer your referring to but he is not. He has picked up the Artesian line (I guess it's bad timing on hottubber"s part). I know he's not the same person as he invited me to his showroom.


Hottubber,

You picked up Artesian at the right time - if this guy's as bad as hair says - then people are going to run screaming from his place and maybe you'll pick up his business (hopefully not all of it - I would like my dealer to get some of it - LOL  ;))

Vinny,

WOW, What a relief... You don't know how aggrevated I felt when I read this post from hair.

I immediately sent a pm to him to find out what his issues with me, personally were. I don't know him, don't know his wife, never spoke to him. I never even spoke of him. As a matter of fact, balding? Far from it, I do need a haircut though.

I am curious to find out who he was referring to.

Thanks for the support. His post has me leaning toward a cold one... ;D Maybe, Fezzi's...

Well, to answer this one simple question - yes, here in California we have to charge sales tax if we write up the sale here. Even if we deliver it out of state.

And I'm not bald, so I guess it wasn't me...

Chas,
Here on the east coast,.. NJ or Pa., I beleive that the dealer is supposed to charge sales tax and turn it in to the state that the customer buys from.
Do you honestly think this happens? I know that by having retail showrooms in both states, I have to charge it anyway. There are dealers that will sell to customers over the state line and they will wave the sales tax, just to get the sale.
One day, it will bite them in the AS*. ;D

Well, today was a very exciting day here on the board. I got my feelings bashed in by a consumer who really didn't want to send the beating my way.
All in all, everything worked out fine. Apologies accepted from hair. Hopefully, I can help him out in the persuit of the right hottub.
Although, I think I'm going to change my screen name from hotttuber to misunderstood. ??? Everyone have a great day. ;D
