off-season - tanTALK

gkg1960 · 06-25-2003, 01:02 PM

Hello All,
I’m in the process of writing up my business plan and was wondering “what months are typical for the off-season”? I plan to be up and running October-November, is this the start of the off-season?
Thanks for all help. This is a great site, glad I found ya!

This will vary on location... Typically in my area October and November are slower... We begin steadily picking up in December and build to our peak in May...

Where are you located?

October is our worst month of the whole year......

September and October make me wonder why I ever did this! We begin to pick up a little after that. Best months March through mid-May depending on weather---this year better cause of the cold and rain. I just heard the 30-day forecast for below normal temps and above normal rainfall....I hate it but it should bring out the tanners again$$

GKG, Here is Colorado our "slow" season runs from about June - November and starts to pick back up in December when your customers realize that they are loosing their tan from the summer. It will vary year to year - especially here is Colorado where the weather is SO unpredictable, but for the most part it will remain consistant. There are things that you can do to boost sales during these dreded months such as offering SPF's for your clients to protect their skin in the summer months just as they do while they are tanning indoors. Hope this info. helps!
