Rep Power: 28 | I read a lot of posts on here complaining about competition...I keep trying to see a bigger picture...More Tanning Salons should mean more public awareness... "Well gee Marge, there's another one of those tanning places opening up..maybe we should check this out.." "Ya know Herb, I saw that Paris Hilton does that-- on one of those music program shows..there might be something to this." "Baby, if that place can make you look like Paris Hilton then we need to go." Am I being naive? |

So, in order for more salons to thrive you would have to see a dramatic increase in the tanning population. No reason why we can't improve that fact! I say let's go for 33% |

Rep Power: 28 | I think we ARE seeing an increase in the population of tanners. Not to go off on a sunless thread (again) but the "spray factor" has made getting a tan and being tan more desireable to your average joe or jane than it was even 5 years ago. The population is also growing like mad and in some respects the American Society is getting smarter about tanning. I agree with DWhite (big surprise there) It is our job as owners, employee's, or users to tout all the POSitives. So I say bring on the competition..it won't matter anyway..if they can't keep up they'll fall behind. Capitalism ROCKS! |

Rep Power: 0 | i agree with missmojo. But also i think skincancer awareness has increased and causing people to be leary of indoor tanning. Also the fact of spray tans without the risk of cancer is popular nowadays. we just have to inform the public. |
