It would help if you tell us how they are being sold. I am not too familiar with this unit.

Actually, no...we don't agree with him...and I will tell you why.

He is a businessman....very good at 'business'...however, not an industry professional.....He doesn't really know much about the industry. He runs a successful restaurant and had a successful construction company..... So...this is why we question....

HOWEVER, how I (& everyone else...including the mgr) see it is this way: Yes, they will notice softer skin after the session...but, how much color change are you going to really notice after only a few sessions of tanning? I would think (and have used it) you'd see better results and darker color after you have a good base color developed (after 2-3 weeks). I did this and saw a dramatic difference in color...so, I am a believer and have sold my beliefs to the clients. I would also assume your skin would get the bigger moisturizing benefit from having already tanned a couple weeks...versus just starting out...more tanning equals drier skin....better to use the HS when your skin is starting to really feel dry due to more UV exposure.

HIS thinking is this: have them do a session after a couple tans, then sell them more sessions. Well, if the client has purchased a month of tanning, they are going to want a month of tanning....not spend more money to tan less....(does that make sense?) I can see if your month is up and you want to extend your tan without purchasing more UV tanning....that I do get...but we just don't get starting them out in the HS after only 3 sessions of UV exposure.

(I remember trying it when i first started tanning...so i would know what I'm selling..... I don't recall seeing a difference in color at all when I first started vs. after tanning for 2.5 weeks. )

So, am I nuts or crazy???

thanks for the help....honest
