Selling other products? - tanTALK

DudsnSuds · 08-16-2005, 01:13 PM

We have been in operation for about a year and are not making very much of a profit. We live in a small town of about 13,000 people in the midwest. Our business is a laundry mat/tanning salon with only two beds right now. I was just wondering if anyone out there sells any other products in their salons other than tanning products , like t-shirts, jewelry, etc. Are selling other products a good idea or not? Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a better profit?

What do you charge for a tan, what does your competitors charge?

Our beds are $4.00 and $5.00 and our competitors are charging about the same prices. We also do a special for $2.00 tans in the mornings and late at night to try to bring in customers as we don't get many people in during those times. We also tried an unlimited tanning for $50.00 for one month with a one time $20.00 membership fee, but that did not go over very well.
