Hi. I have a friend that just bought an established tanning & beauty salon. She is new to this industry. She wants me to head up the research for the sales of sandals, jewelery and asseccories like that. Anyone have any great links to sites that I can try?
Thanks!

Sure...but I think she has a lot more to do..before she starts selling add ons.....I would get tanning down first in a big way and then add on products...Is she ready and has a complete grasp on her business?

Yeah, I agree with DWhite. Set up your packages, check out the comp and see what they"re doing, decide on what lotions you're going to carry, select your computer program, hire good employees, create your employee handbook, set your customer service standards, check your equipment that its in good operationable condition, plan your grand re-opening. Get the lead out, you may have a longer way to go than you think!

I agree, she needs to visit her competition. Find out what they are doing first. Your tanning beds are the most important.

Her business is fully established. She has her lotions already other restocking and maybe picking a few other brands. She has visited other salons to find out their deals. She has employees, the programs ect... All she did was buy it and learn it and now run it.
So since I have more time on my hands she wanted me to do some research on some accessories, flip flops, jewlery, handbags, hair accessories ect..
Anyone have any links to sites or whole salers that I could use for my research?
Thanks
