gas and oil prices - tanTALK

Has the recent price hike in oil and gas prices affected business in anyway for any of you? If it has do you think of lowering prices to try to get a few more people in your salon.

I've definitely had a few customers say they can't come as often due to the increase in gas prices. Gas for us is about $3.20 a gallon for the cheap stuff. I don't know that lowering prices would bring in more overall profit for us, so that's not something we've considered.

I haven't heard anyone say anything but I think because of the prices it is keeping people more close to home, therefore tanning close to work I have 2 major arteries through my complex.

It definately effects peoples disposable income, but lower prices? Not a chance!

I won't lower prices ever. I have had anyone say anything negative sooo I am okay there. However Ithis is my first busy season so I have nothing to compare it too. I do think the tanners will tan no matter what.
