buying minutes instead of punch cards

hey friends needs some good advice here, so i have been open four years this month and we are open 24 hrs a day, right now we do an unlimited month and a 10 or 20 punch card, here lately a ton of customers have been asking to buy minutes instead of a punch card, the program i use allows this so its not that big of deal but how would you do the packages like 60 minutes 120 minutes???? help please, also would you include the collagen bed in this???

Agreed. They want minutes so that they can save money and drag them out so long that you'll end up paying them to tan. Offer a 5-pack and maybe single (fixed-price) sessions. I changed from minutes to points/sessions when I bought my salon and it's the best thing I ever did.

NEVER EVER SELL MINUTES! Can you imagine a fitness center selling minutes at the gym?
