Introduction to Salon City
Salon City Inc., headquartered in Los Angeles, California, publishes Salon City magazine, where Life is Beautiful(SM). It is distributed nationally by Time/Warner Retail, a Time Warner Company, and by Kable Distribution Services, an AmRep company, internationally. As an emerging media company for beauty entertainment and a lifestyle brand for future products and services, we want to appeal to a global audience of consumers who want to be empowered to lead a healthier, more positive lifestyle.
Salon City, Inc. was incorporated in Nevada on January 4, 2005. Salon City, Inc. represents the formal incorporation of a 10-year-old media, entertainment and distribution sole proprietorship. From their inception in 1997, known then as Salon City Press Club, they have published print and online media, most notably through thier trade publication Salon City Star magazine, which was redesigned in 2007 and became Salon City magazine, a consumer publication.
Salon City originally launched operations in the fall of 1997 as Salon City Press Club, which provided publicity and public relations services to salons and individuals. In 2000, they began producing the SunFun Media Artist Group (MAG) Conference (a summer networking and educational conference held in Las Vegas).
In 2001, Salon City began publishing Salon City Star magazine - a professional trade/consumer magazine for salons, spas, and their clients. From 2001-2006, Salon City Star was sold on selected newsstands in Southern California and New York City, mailed to high-grossing salons and nationally offered at no charge to salons by our informal network of independent beauty distributors, known as Salon City Distribution Partners.
Their distribution partners are being recruited and selected to be exclusively licensed to represent Salon City in their markets. Outside of any relationship with Salon City, they currently sell professional beauty products to an aggregate domestic market of up to 250,000 salons and spas. The professional salon industry has annual revenues exceeding $ 70 billion dollars in services and retail. To increase their exposure and involvement in this market, Salon City intends to use their media affiliations and products to position the Salon City brand to professional beautymakers.
By building their name among consumers, including professional beautymakers and their clients, and inviting distributors and members to join their network, Salon City plans to grow Salon City’s brand globally and to also assist independent artists, salons and distributors to gain more media exposure, clients, market share, sales growth and wealth producing opportunities. They are also setting the stage to help promote their people, products and programs, some of which will be planned Salon City products and services.
To reach consumers, many of whom are the end-users for salons and spas, Salon City entered into a three year agreement on November 24, 2006 with Time/Warner Retail to have them distribute Salon City magazine to thousands of bookstores and newsstands in America and Canada. And on February15, 2007 they also entered in to a three year agreement with Kable Distribution Services to distribute Salon City magazine internationally. The magazine is currently sold in approximately 4800 bookstores and newsstands throughout the USA and Canada, and in additional locations internationally in over 30 countries, including, but not limited to, Australia, Dubai, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom.
In March 2007, the company re-positioned the six-year old professional trade publication (Salon City Star) to the new web site, and then launched the first edition of the 100% consumer-focused publication, Salon City. Until spring 2008, the company will still be in the yearlong rollout stages of establishing the magazine’s presence in retail stores.
Marketing Concepts and Positioning for Salon City
Salon City's concept arises from their core mission to offer the public positively oriented news and products that relate to a consumer’s desire to live a life of health and wellness. Salon City intends to organize a consumer membership consisting of salons, spas and clients–what we call the “Salon City Society”–as it grows and emerges in the world of beauty, entertainment and lifestyle branding. We are in the process of building a globally respected brand associated with a positive, balanced lifestyle and vision for both the public and the beauty industry.
