Cool Items to sell in a Tanning Salon??

I am trying to think of good ideas to sale other than tanning and health care items in my salon to get the customers to come in. I am located in a small town and I am the only other tanning salon left that hasnt gone under due to the tanning tax. I would like other ideas to help.....

thanks

Some people do spas, clothing, teeth whitening, etc.

One very quick easy one is to get a small fridge from Sam's, put it in your lobby and get energy drinks and flavored waters that customers can buy after tanning. It's a small quick boost. Hope that helps!

Formostar & Red Light Therapy. ( i admit to being biased as i sell these items but honestly believe we have to go "Spa" to survive )

Re: Items to sell in a Tanning Salon??

Here is a GREAT idea. How about selling tanning?
Put all your money and effort in selling what you are, not what you want to be.

Want to sell sunglasses? Open a mall kiosk..
Bathing suits? Open a retail store in the local mall..
Spa services..convert into a spa and call yourself such.

Could never understand those who want to sell other services. A tanning salon is NOT a spa..big difference in selling and marketing.

STOP SPINNING WHEELS AND CONCENTRATE ON WHAT YOU SET OUT TO DO

Because tanning alone will not pay the bills anymore?

If it did you wouldn't see all these salons selling everything under the sun. Everything from Hallowe'en costumes to rubber silly bandz and ceramic frogs.
