Rep Power: 20 | Re: Any chance Tan Tax will get Axed? The question should not be, can you raise prices; prices must naturally rise when the cost of living does. The question should be are we pricing most of the public out of the tanning business? The answer to that question is undoubtedly yes. Can the high end shops in the upscale areas of the country raise prices? Sure. But this areas represent 20% of this country's population and 90% of the contributors on this site. You want evidence? Just look at the top growing tanning franchises in the country today. Zoom Tan, Sun tan city, and Planet fitness, all work on LOW cost models, not high priced models. Those on the high end of the pricing model are sending the general public running for the discounters. Will a few of them find a niche? Sure, but that is no industry trend. The trend is low pricing, no gimmick tanning. The sad truth is that those of us caught in the middle in this business will lose theirs in this pricing turf battle. |
