7 Common Mistakes Retailers Make When Selling Self Tan Products

Selling self tan products might seem straightforward, but it’s easy to make a few wrong moves that impact sales and customer trust. If you're managing a retail business, especially in beauty or skincare, it's important to pay attention to how these products are marketed, explained, and displayed.
