Feel free to ask the biggest players out there with 150+ locations, the pricing they got quoted by me is cheaper than what they are getting anywhere else. So my pricing is very competitive, depending on what you want. Even cheaper than what Papa John's printer is giving them in pricing. So unless you know what you are talking about, which you don't, please refrain from assuming as it will only make you look silly. Have a wonderful Christmas.

In the end I have done my part and said my piece. I have nothing to sell anyone and you do. Its buyer beware. It benefits me if my direct competitors continue to pay $500 CPM's and stay out of the digital world. However it dosent benefit our industry which is why I even bother to speak up! In the end I really dont care that much if people do direct mail. But you sure do! Merry Christmas | |

Rep Power: 18 | Re: Close to closing! Any Ideas? i totally forgot about the $20 PPA. Its not a realistic number regardless of your model. Why would Din not have any tanning salons if he knew how to get a $20 PPA in indoor tanning? 50 clients a day x 20 x 365 = $365,000 100 clients a day x 20 x 365 = $730,000 $365,000 means you have to do $30,416 per month EVERY month! Anyone that can do either number in a tanning salon would build as many salons as possible. I have hit both numbers and I know how hard it is to hit those numbers. Who really thinks this is possible 12 months a year, 365 days a year? If its not obvious to you then I dont know what to say! |

Rep Power: 28 | Re: Close to closing! Any Ideas? Just trolling the boards after a long absence. To answer the original question: Close to closing! Any Ideas? -- I am out of ideas on how to keep a tanning salon from closing (that don't include diversifying, or capital investment), however; I do have a response to why people are close to closing. Please See Article >>> http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/287397.php CDC: indoor tanning among American youth is decreasing Between 2009 and 2013, the percentage of female high school students who engaged in indoor tanning reduced from 25.4% to 20.2%. Among non-Hispanic white female students, indoor tanning fell from 37.4% to 30.7%, while indoor tanning among non-Hispanic black male students reduced from 6.1% to 3.2%. The team says the reductions in indoor tanning may be partly explained by increased awareness of the skin cancer risks it poses. "In 2009," they note, "the World Health Organization (WHO) classified indoor tanning devices as carcinogenic to humans, and several studies have demonstrated that indoor tanning increases the risk of skin cancer." They also point out that between 2009 and 2013, 40 US states have implemented new laws or have strengthened existing laws in relation to indoor tanning. Of these states, 11 have banned indoor tanning for individuals under the age of 18. Nice to see the wheel keeps on spinning -- the question, after reading that article is, how long can this wheel spin? Hope everyone has/had a happy holiday. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPnJyWhiVFQ

None of that will have any financial impact on smart salon owners, it can in some cases help salon owners make more money. I won't say why, of course. I will say, I keep making mo money mo money mo money! | |

Rep Power: 28 | Re: Close to closing! Any Ideas? I'm willing to go out on a limb and speculate that it might help make diversified salon owners more money -- however; when your product is classified as a carcinogen (right or wrong), and your client base is dropping off -- it's a problem. Hi Tanu! :)
