Norway Tan -
First of all, I am jealous!! Bergen is one of my most favorite cities in the World. The colorful houses on the waterfront are beyond postcard perfect beauty!! The train ride to your city still ranks among my most scenic ever!
Back to tanning -----
Your opportunity sounds good. Will you be putting in UV tanning as well or just spray tanning? What sort of location do you have? Will you sell other services as well (a hair salon, etc?)?
Since you are new, and spray is new to your city, I would be inclined to start with only ONE booth at first. The great advantage of the booths over handheld is turnaround time. A tanner can get in, undress, spray, dry off, and re-dress in less than 5 minutes even sometimes (for your speedy regulars)! One booth would let you judge "demand" in your area - and you can then add a second if/when "demand" indicates a second will be used often enough to pay for itself.
Many people in the U.S. and on this board have been very pleased with their Magic Tan booths. I have a Mystic Tan and have also been very pleased. I don't know anything about the "Naturasun" booth. Have you tanned in both your choices yourself?
When you market your booth, look for many businesses that you can "cross-promote" with. Places that attract the same customers as you hope to attract. If you are ONLY offering spray tanning, may also try to get the "recommendation" of local dematologists/doctors that may be willing to funnel their patients to your salon.
Best of luck - read here for many other "suggestions" re. successful sunless businesses. And if I make it to Bergen again, I will certainly come check out your business!
