Commercial

On Monday one of my comps began a $1 tanning special. This is one of a small chain of 5 salons. They have never done this before so I was surprised.

My other comp does this every February.

I was watching TV last night and saw an Office Depot commercial. It was about a mega-chain hair salon coming into town attempting to step on the small guy with their low prices.

Small guy puts a banner up that reads: We fix $6 haircuts.

I laughed and thought of my comps. I need one that says: We fix $1 tans.

I can't find a link to the commercial.

Correct. $1 is too much. It should be FREE!

Re: Commercial

I don't know if I could actually do it. I'm not one to slander the competition (out loud).

It just gave me the idea.

One of my comps was my mentor when I first got into the industry. I remember him telling me that he does it to initiate sales for the season. I can't imagine the reward being great enough to justify $1.

My comp is. . . Single "High performance" Tan...... $3
(7 days a week). I thought this was bad, until I read your post.

Re: Commercial

Because of the bad economy I started in my slow season, $5 tans on Thursdays in my level 3 machines, just below my HP. I have noticed that Thursdays are my best revenue day of the week. I am going to stop it in March.

Re: Commercial

^^In September every year, through 2007, we would do $2 Tuesday and $3 Thurday- Base level only.

We don't run many special in off season anymore.

Re: Commercial

Well it gives good advertising ideas plus some earnings and it has maximum benefit for the starter and has no loss at all.
