Gotta love a sale!! - tanTALK

TotalEclipse · 03-15-2005, 09:36 AM

We started our 3 day $3 sale for St Patrick's Day today. Been open about 3 hours and we are pushing $1000 on 34 tanners.

Does anyone mind sharing what kinds of sales (if any) they have during busy season? I know it seems silly to have a sale when more people are coming through than in previous months....but the way we look at it, it's more people to spend money.....

All I can say is I wish I was in Texas. You guys seem to be boomin' out there.

Can they buy as many as they want for $3 a session? We are running 5 tans for $17 and 17% off all lotion bottles.

TMMA, our credit packages, lotions, mist-on packages and year paid in full memberships are what's on sale. Basically anything they buy full price, we double for $3.00. So if they buy a year paid in full for $300, they get another year for $3.00. It's a great way to move lotion and sell credit and mist packages.

TE, your selling 2 lotions for the price of 1 plus $ 3

That is a great deal for the consumer, How is that going to profit you in the long run???? 2 years unlimited for $303?

No kidding???

Maybe I should try that because at the present rate I doubt I'll be here in two years anyways.

That is my question too. So yeah short term this works out great for you but what happens in the future? Granted you have them as a customer for the next 2 years but that is about $12/month your charging for tanning for the next two years.

Oh wait? Upgrades and lotions sales is the key?
