Free Tans

When people sign up do you give them free tans? What equipment do you put them in? Just your base units or do you upgrade them into your higher/medium pressure units. Or give no free tans at all?

There has been a lot of discussion on this subject. I think you need to be a little more specific with your question.

Re: Free Tans

We don't offer "first tan free" as I assume you are referring too, however on phone calls we direct people to our website where there is a coupon "buy one, get one free" on our specialty beds (hp)...it's a good tool to get them in our salon simply by getting them to the website.
We also offer a "free tan" or "2 free tans" on certain lotions we sell. That too works really well. Once they buy a bottle of lotion and try a HP bed, next visit they buy a package and stick with the specialty beds we offer.
So, basically we offer the "free tan" which may be what they want to hear...but have to buy something to get it "free"...yeah, yeah, I know...it's not really "free" is it? :)

Re: Free Tans

When a customer buys their first package with us, we give them the option to tan the first time for "free" (it won't count off of their package) or a free sample pack of lotion. That kind of treats the customer for buying from us.

Re: Free Tans

When for any reason we give a free tan, we always try to put them in our biggest bed 'cause if they go somewhere else they will remember how big, how hot and how fast our bed was...

If i would send them in my base bed and they come from my competitor, maybe they would think my beds are boring, small, etc.

a tan in a 4-5 mins 64 lamps bed always leave a positive first impression ;)

We also give a free pkt of our high end lotion when they buy a package... and i always tell them twice it's a poisoned gift, once they try it they buy it... mind control HAAHAHAHAH... humm ok i calm down :P
