I don't understand indoor tanning in Florida.

Sort of the opposite as in-door tanning in Canada. Go figure. I'm moving.

Why Florida has one indoor salon is beyond me.

Also, the month has taken a welcome turn here....... up 38% over last year. Better stay that way.

No consistency from what I can tell. Unless you are in TExas.

Re: How is everyones sales for Feb-March so far?

We are up for a number of reasons. This is our second year in the tanning business. Started out with 5 beds last season and by March of 2005 had 2 more installed. In January of this year I added the Mastersun 360 and a MyMyst.

I would attribute most of my success this year to the following:

Hired Steve Underhill in the spring of 2005.
Read a several thousand posts on four different tanning sites
Went to the Orlando show in 2004 and the Nashville show in 2005
Met and talked to several people on this site - this was invaluable
Added the equipment that would generate the maximum revenue for my salon
Hired a great manager who truly takes ownership in the salon

Most importanly I listen to what everyone was telling me and made the appropriate changes that will ensure a 200-300 percent increase this year. 2005 was really all about learning and getting everything in order the way I should have done when I opened. I also made sure I had the cash to do things the right way without skimping.

Unfortunately I did not make many of my changes early enough last season to see any great results. This is the year that it all comes together for me.

Re: How is everyones sales for Feb-March so far?

I'm in NJ and January was great. February & March however, are slow. I think because January was very mild and warm for us, the temp even got to 70 degrees the one day. The mind was playing tricks with our customers, saying come in, spring's coming. The February hits and now March and it is cold, like the beginning of December. The mind is telling the customers stay in your warm house next to the fire to keep warm.
