All right people, let's wake this joint up a little and join in.....Come on lurkers

There are obviously plenty of lurkers on here, it is time to here from YOU today.

Please step forward and introduce yourselves. Strike up the conversation. Let us know a little bit about yourselves and your business.

Don't be afraid, this is a bash free thread. It is your chance to step up to the podium and say hi.

Hi, I'm Jolee, I'm a member of the ITA. I lurk now because I don't have much to say, I said it all years ago on here. I'm currently selling my salon and will be done in April (its been on the market for the last year, as I had planned this a few years ago when my lease would end, nothing recent) I will continue to support local salons in my area. :)

Re: All right people. Let's wake this joint up a little and join in.....Come on lurke

Hello,

I'm Chris, one of the owners of MicroSpa. This is a side business of mine as I am a business consultant in the fortune 500 world for a subsidiary of Goldman Sach's by day.

My partner, Sona, she runs the day to day operation and is a burned out attorney who loves what she is doing now.

We are both new to the industry but actively involved each and every day. Sona was just recently asked to be the legal advisor to FITSO(Florida Indoor Tanning Salon Owners) and has accepted the offer. There should be a write up introducing us and her new legal advisor role in the upcoming issue of Island Sun Times.

I hope everyone has a great season.

Chris

Hi, my name is Matt. I'm from Michigan. YES the economy sucks, NO I don't know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried.

I drive an American car, assembled in America, by American workers. I support the UAW and Teamsters because they ARE the middle class and THEY keep my business open. NO, I'm not a democrat, nor am I republican. I support whoever puts money back in OUR (small business, middle class) pockets.

I DON'T shop at Wal-Mart or Sam's Club but I buy my lumber at Lowe's because Home Depot wood sucks.

I believe in re-investing in and re-inventing my business frequently. New beds, new decor, fresh lamps, and great customer service is why I haven't closed my doors yet.

EDIT: I hope everyone except my competition has a great season!

Re: All right people. Let's wake this joint up a little and join in.....Come on lurke

Hello my name is Dean, i'm from Toronto Canada.

I'm in the Tanning Salon gig as well for many years now, I'm also President of a marketing company that specializes in marketing for Tanning salons. www.ChronosMarketing.com My experience can help many salons market their business in their area. USA & Canada

I own 2 Korean Vehicles (1 SUV 1 Sports Car), Engineered by Germans, assembled in USA and sold in Canada by way of Mexico under a Korean Brand Name.

I shop at Walmart and HomeDepot because they have everything i'm looking for. Saves me trips. They are both US companies but there are no Canadian companies that offer the same selection.

I liked shoping at Future Shop because it is Canadian...until it was bought out by Best Buy. So we're pretty much screwed up here for Canadian product. So i figure i'd do business with the USA to at least give back to my Canadian people by way of Greece.

Thank you for your warm welcome Brian.

Re: All right people. Let's wake this joint up a little and join in.....Come on lurke

My name is Kelly, I am a Sagitarius and I love to travel and meet new people.

I have been in the tanning industry for 3.5 years with my one and only Salon. I recently closed a wine specialty liquor store and am greatful to be out of that government controlled industry!

Can anyone tell me the difference in the different sites like tantalk tantoday..?? Seems like mostly the same people..
