Flipped out competitors

No one in the little town I started business in had a web site before I showed up. Now we're the center of attention.

Meet Eric, A man who has never made an attempt to meet us but, seems to know everything about us!

http://ultratan.us/Lyle_summerbreeze.asp

Bless his pointed little head... I think we're starting scare him!

Can't we all just get along?

Re: Flipped out competitors

THAT is some fu%*ed up ****.

I was going to email him but I guess I'll just call tomorrow. HOW can he, as a professional, even bring up your name? That is absolute childish. And his beds...ICK!

Re: Flipped out competitors

I emailed.

I have to say that I think your digs at your competition is childish and extremely unprofessional. Your comments seem to show some sort of desperate attempt to retain/attain customers who may want to tan in new beds. Your prices for beds that old are absurd. And do you really think customers care when you paid your beds off? Financial stability??? That is just grasping at straws. Clients could care less. You sound almost defeated.

Good luck in your mission to be the most unprofessional salon owner. You’re doing a good job. I am embarrassed for you.

Re: Flipped out competitors

Very cheap shot indeed. Is that allowed to attack another salon so openly???

Ridiculous to use financial stability as your main selling point. As Sandigirl says: do your customers care???

And the coupons are not even up to date.

Boooooo

Re: Flipped out competitors

I agree...I'm glad the guy has some bucks to back him up he needs 'em. Not so sure that I'd put my picture on the opening page if I looked like that but whatever works...not!

Re: Flipped out competitors

That 'outdated' mattress HP will outtan most, and give clients the most relaxing session around. It's still the original 'be tan in three sessions' tanning bed. What HP do you offer? I get $35 in that bed all day long, and a line out the door to boot!
