Will 100 w Beds still be around in 2008? - tanTALK

dirtygirl · 04-08-2004, 02:06 AM

or will all of us salon owners have to just have two base beds and the rest HP. Having said this because I 'am trying to figure out if i'm definetly going to put in more hp's. I not knocking hp's and I love the money I generate from them, it's just I don't wan't to screw over my clients who love my base beds. My point is that you have to start your tanners off some where.That place is usually in a 100 w bed. All feed back is welcome. Don't be affraid to rip me a new a**. I want to here it. Good or bad.....

Thanks
Dirty

IMO, no. I have been predicting the passage of 100wbeds for some time. Depending on where you are, what size city, probably sooner than latter. Tanners are becoming more sophisticated and more selective in their tanning habits.

The city I am in already has 1 salon with Orbits as base beds,another has all GiantSuns and HP as the only beds, another salon has Ergoline 450's as the base bed...so it is obvious who their customers are and where they direct their marketing. Another local salon with 13 stores is begining to put in more HP, replacing VHR as top tier.

I see where having all HP and sunless would be beneficial. If I had the cash, that is where I would build. With all different HP beds performing with different results, its not too far fetched of an idea.

My honest opinion is that for the most part there will always be your tanners that enjoy the 20 min session for the lesser session cost..You will have the big spenders too (which is great) but it will be a case by case situation and not a global trend.

I dont see 20 min sessions lasting that long.

TANPROS · 04-08-2004, 05:39 PM

You can tan in 20 min beds with 120w. But I see a 100w not being around.

We havent had a 100w bed in over 8 years. Please people dont get rid of your 100w beds it is so great for my business.

Everyone makes a statement but never says why? What's the difference between a 20 minute 100 watt bed and a 15 minute 120 watt bed? I'm stupid, educate me?

I think 15 min beds will end up being reg beds soon.

I wish some of the larger bed manufactures would share how many 100 watt BEDS they sale compared to the 160 watt BEDS or HP.

The answer to your question Neon is 5 minutes.
