Un-competition... - tanTALK

JensSunQuest · 05-19-2006, 11:01 AM

One of those Franchised salons opened up down the street...It has since been owned by three different owners....I hate to say it but my cleaniness dedication and only hiring the best girls has paid off....The current owner of this "competition"is a sweet lady but she seems not to have the first clue about business...Her salon recently wasn't open for 2 days because the girl she had running it just didn't show up and the owner had now clue about this....The girls that work there are rude......I have gained clients from this place on a daily bases even though they have to drive an extra 5-10mins.....They bad mouth the place and I tell them I wish her luck business can be tough.....
and even though they are a franchise they are over priced for what they offer....Compare they have a same stand up as me and charge 8 dollars more..... So just because they slap some sheek designs on the walls and have great decorations, doesn't mean they will add up to threat....
They also only stock 4 bottles of lotion ....hello not everyone will like the four you like

^^ One of my competitors cruises my shopping center parking lot with his billboard trailer "Call XYZ for a free tan." Hey, it's war, we all gotta do what we gotta do to compete and prosper.

Basically the salon by me is super modernized - TVs and IPOD jacks in the bed. I bought this buisness thinking I could really build it up - not so thus far b/c of the competition. I think it's only a matter of time til people start hating on them b/c the bulbs arent' being changed and stuff like that.
