Rep Power: 20 | Re: High Pressure, tony and Robertk I don't think that this business model is that disruptive for those who are paying any attention to what is going on around them. Again, this is not that earth shattering. No more earth shattering than the drive through window was for the restaurant industry. |

Who would want to compete against $9.99 but let's also state the facts, that's your loss leader. You offer higher efts for differing stand ups. One thing I'm curious of if you care to comment on is what's your typical set up of tanning units? Total units versus how many at $9.99 being offered? It's not hard to figure, I assume, each store has it's goals of how many people needed on eft. Then from a business stand point, knowing the only way you make money is not having them tan. How cheap it is, not to tan...so they keep on paying the eft's. My thought's, too bad the eft amount can't be a dollar amount that makes you money even if, they tan. We just differ in business 101 I guess. I'd rather have clients buy and use what they buy. No body loses. I got rid of my so called cabbu's I coined...accidentally actually. Simply by raising my prices. I created them with low pricing. | |

You'd have to convince me that HP is worse than your VHR lamps. Again, I think it's just part of your concept. Build the least expensive model possible. When it comes to any UV unit, adding HP adds to the costs. I think you don't have HP simply cause it doesn't fit into your business model. Yet, you bash it...to convert or convince clients to use your salon. | |

HP fits perfectly into "moderation" 3-4 sessions to get tan, followed by 3-4 sessions monthly to maintain your tan. $100 lotions and $100 packages? How about $129 lotions and $300 packages? There's a market for it, just as there's a market for $9.99 | |

Exit strategy is key... With one salon, easier out than having 70. What's doom for some is my gloom. Can't wait to retire and call it quits. Put this saga behind me with a smile. | |

Rep Power: 17 | Re: High Pressure, tony and Robertk UV light will always be grouped together. Even the smartest of people bashing the industry have not separated our differing types of uv light. Smoking is labeled smoking as is tanning is tanning. The day will come when people make choices? Well, I choose HP. But it's all tanning, and it's tanning under fire, not traditional lamps, VHR , or HP. I doubt it will come down to a separation. |
