Re: FL Business in 2008

Shouldn't this be in the IP section...I wouldn't discuss business being slow where customers can read it!

Why? If the customers aren't visiting the tanning salons, they certainly aren't visiting these forums. Florida, you're not the only one with down business. I'm in Wisconsin and I'm in my 2nd year of declining business. In other words, if I had a lot of debt, I would be singing "another one bites the dust".

Re: FL Business in 2008

I havn't been around really long enough to know (Opened April 07) but we were doing great until July 14th and then the bottom fell out. Were still averaging 50 a day during the week but lotion sales are down.

Re: FL Business in 2008

I have noticed that I'm getting a ton of "how much to tan" calls this week. I hate those calls, or thought I did until they were not happening anymore. So at least I know that it's starting to come to people's minds again. That's a great sign.
