It was sept. or october last year that we ran the 20 tans for $20. That brought in a lot of customers. The 20 for 20 got them interested & once we had them in the store...we offered 20 tans for $40 on our level 2 beds & 10 tans for $50 on our level 3 beds. Made good $$ & all we did was put a banner out front.

I am in a market that has 9.99 EFT...I tried that last year and it bombed! What did you do last year to let your customers know about your special? I do not like telling peoople what you are going to do with future promotions...but lets just talk in general terms..

I have had salon owners tell me Sept. is Sunless specials...Does sunless pick up in September?
I am assuming a back to school promotion? What can we do?...What is something that you could email to all of your customers..and put up signs in your salon and get sales to go up? We just offered a lotion sale....we sold over 500 bottles of lotion in a week...(4 stores) so...what can we offer in Sept...

Look to the local school news papers, drill teams, cheerleaders, whatever... sunless is popular with the kids and there parents like it also.

Get your existing clients to stock up for winter. Also focus on young mothers who will be free all day now that thier kids are back in school.

so...Jeni and Mike...what would you offer? What has worked for your salon in the past? How would you promote it? Would you only offer instore promotion ...would you direct mail to your customer base? Would you just put out the little yard signs?
Lets kick around the ides...what would be one of your offers for September?

Keep in mind school starts in August in some spots. SO a back to school would be good here next month. We don't have anyone doing a 9.99$ eft here, so I think $20 would go well. The school kids like the $30 we've had in the past.
