Why don't you offer a mixed package for your work-out room and tanning? From what I understand the work out room is only for women? Split specials then. Every Thursday have a "women's special" and on Friday's offer a "men's special". I dunno...it's hard to offer ideas without more info.

WE OFFER A COMBO PACKAGE FOR THE WOMEN EXERCISERS AND THAT IS WORKING OUT OKAY BECAUSE THOSE ARE YEAR EFT'S. OUR BEDS ARE ALL TURBO W/3 FACIAL TOP OF THE LINE BEDS EXCEPT FOR ONE 60 BULB 160 WATT STANDUP FOR UPGRADING. WE HAVE BETTER BEDS THAN ANYONE UP AND DOWN THE CORRIDOR WE ARE ON, SO OUR PRICES CAN'T START AT $19.99 (THEY START AT $29.95/MTH FOR YEARLY CONTRACTS). ONCE SOMEONE TRIES THESE BEDS THEY ARE HOOKED, BUT THIS TIME OF THE YEAR HOW DO YOU GET PEOPLE IN THE DOOR?

run a referal program for your exsisting customers, if they get people to purchase
a package, give them a couple tans............

I suggest picking out some of your best customers that are NOT tanning right now and send them a $5.00 off cupon towards a $25.00 purchase.

What type tanning units? perhaps by not offering more selection in tanning you are losing out.
Are you having trouble getting people to tan,or workout?
Where is the business lacking?

Offer workout clints discounted tan packages..do referals. Cross market each.

Offer a free week of tans for new guests only. Not much profit, maybe lotion sales. But it does get them in the door!

Mailers, coupons, referral cards, buy $25 - get $5 free, business cards, cross marketing with other businesses, flyers on neighborhood doors with a special buy one tan get one free. The possibilities are endless, but you have to work work work to make it happen.
