Re: How's everyones season goin?

Still averaging between $300-$350 per day here. We hired a new gal (older @38 years), and is she a go-getter. The wife and I are going to take lessons from her on how to sell. We pay 10% commissions on all lotion sales, and boy does she do the hungry boogey. Jobs are hard to find, and she appreciates the opportunity we give her.

Re: How's everyones season goin?

Now that Jason is here, do you guys run any sort of summer specials? how about mid august? some sort of back to school special? I am trying to think of what my next special is going to be. I am already putting my todo list together to keep myself busy this summer.. figure I would thoroughly clean the salon... maybe paint... get it ready for the fall.

Re: How's everyones season goin?

Tan 'till 2012 - Try to lock in your summer tanners through the fall - offer it now at X price, then can drop the price as you go along (e.g. maybe $124 now, $99 in Sept)


Tie lotion specials into larger purchases (e.g. Spend $50-99, get 20% off product, Spend $100+, get 35% off)

Re: How's everyones season goin?

Had a great June, up over 40% over last, but JASON is here, and even my new "super women" employee can't sell to ghosts. I do think this employee will go out on the sidewalk and start hawking and try to drum up business. lol

Re: How's everyones season goin?

I did $500+ last night so it picked up right after I made that post. Maybe I will make another post like that tonight for good luck....

Re: How's everyones season goin?

I'm trying to work on an add now for an add in the newspaper to use up a credit I have. Is it too early for a "tan for $$ until 2012"? When others have tried this, is it for all levels? I was thinking maybe 1/2 price walk-ins after a free tan week end. My first JASON season, and I didn't make a dime yesterday. Please advise on what has worked the best for some of you...
Thank you so much.

Re: How's everyones season goin?

I am new to TanTalk.com. Here in NW Ohio. We have had our salon for 12 years and I believe this is the quickest I've ever seen business taper. I don't know if we are going to make it thru the summer or not. We are located in a small town, but have 2 colleges and my only hope is that once the kids come back to school, they will start tanning again.
We have been contemplating selling the business, so if anyone knows of someone looking to buy a salon, please let me know. We would be willing to let it go fairly cheap. We have 6 lay downs and 1 stand-up.
