We are in a college town too. We have seen a few new students but no big rush yet.

July and August are a distant memory. Today was not so busy, but still better sales totals then I had in a week in July and August. The sidewalks are hustle and bustle, with kids that have dollars falling out of their pockets. I want more.

Re: WOW WOW WOW, IS ALL I CAN SAY!!!!!

We started doing a lotion special every week. One bottle of "x" for 30% off, and it has been working great.

Hope everyone September continue to grow more.

Great to see Neon back on here. Engfant was looking for you recently. He used to tan in my salon.

@Kookyguy Good luck on your Free tan weekend. :)

1. a website is essential to business! Most people use the internet to find things
2. You can not have a "limited ad budget" and think you are going to survive. You have to spend money to make money. 10% minimum of your annual sales need to be set aside for marketing/advertising.

Re: WOW WOW WOW, IS ALL I CAN SAY!!!!!

Do not be tricked into thinking that just a strong season will fix all of your problems. Yes this has already shown trends that indicate this is going to be a very active tanning season. However the best way to take advantage of a great season is to have already made the changes at your salon that will allow you to really benefit from a strong season.

this is even more important for the older salons that have made no changes since they first opened. Even the most successful salons must stay ahead of the curve. Reinvest in your salon.

Refresh the look of your salon. make changes to your price structure that offers packages that fit todays tanner. Add a new piece of equipment to build a marketing push around.

Advertise, Advertise, Advertise. The right message at the right time, taking advantage of todays multi media marketing.

Right now is the time to implement change and bring that new tanning system in.
