Rep Power: 22 | Re: Hows Business been this year? My July is up over 55% over last, but you have to remember last July was a scorcher, and my worse month ever. August should start to pickup with the college kids rolling into town about the middle of the month. Then September, my 2nd best month of the year will start to put some ching in the till and replenish my savings account which I've depleted this past month. |

Rep Power: 22 | Re: Hows Business been this year? Just the opposite here, but I will have to say, my summer has been good. As I mentioned before my July was up 55% up over last, and my August is up over 35% OVER LAST. If this continues, my September will be great, cause the kids are back!! |

Rep Power: 20 | Re: Hows Business been this year? My experience is that teenagers and college students are "event" tanners, not year round tanners. Those 40-50 year round tanners are what your business is built around. They buy the expensive lotions and the yearly packages. Those are the people you have to make happy and keep happy. They are the one's who will still be buying things in your store in October. |

Rep Power: 22 | Re: Hows Business been this year? Teenage tanners and college tanners is what has kept us afloat the past 9 years. Before that, my video/tanning business was mainly made up of locals, with few college kids. Our present college campus salon has been successful mainly, because every year we are new to 2000 freshmen students. We treat them like family, and with the respect they deserve, and they continue to support our salon. We have them locked in for the next 4-6 years. |

Rep Power: 22 | Re: Hows Business been this year? Don't know the reason, but well into September, we are down almost 50%. over last September. Maybe the student loan money is late this year, and October will be a big month. |

Rep Power: 20 | Re: Hows Business been this year? Yes! Our tanners and sales are down so far in September after having a great July / August. It must be a national economic phenomenon. Traditionally for me, Sept is much better than Oct or Nov. which are the 2 worst months of the year. Of course we all know that the economic "recovery" is just a mirage anyway. As Obamacare is implemented, I expect matters to get progressively worse. |
