Hello Everyone,
I almost have my salon completed and beds all picked out (just waiting on final paperwork & arrival). I have been working on my pricing and would like some opinions. I am starting out small and these are the beds I will be will be starting with:

level 1- (2) 2006 Tan America Santa Barbara's (32 lamp)
level 2- (1) 2006 Tan America Pacifica (36 lamp)
level 3- (1) 2006 Tan America Malibu w/4 HP facials (42 lamp)

I would like to stay away from selling minutes if possible and go with sessions packages, efts.

I have researched the newest salon in town which is about 2 years old and they carry all 32 lamp Wolff beds and 1-36 lamps wolff out of TN . All are newer 2006 models. I havent gotten their exact pricing yet but do know they charge a membership fee to join & tan.

I am opening this business in my video store but plan on it being a seperate entity and ran as a seperate business just in the same building as my video. I will be paying cash for all my beds, accessories, and upfront cost. The video store already pays for lease, phone, water, etc so I will not have these cost just the extra electric and extra water cost.

Any comments or suggestions as to pricing on these beds would be appreciated. Like I said, I have been working on pricing but being a newbie-suggestions can be of great help!

Thanks in advance!
Sherrie

Did you ever decide on your pricing? Im surprised no one jumped in on this to help you out

sunsally

I sent her an entire pricing matrix, plus lined her up with a service team that picked up her beds for her and installed them.

She's doing just fine!

Thats great, would you mind sending it over to me, I like reading everything you respond to.

I too would appreciate the matrix if you don't mind - many thanks :)

SunSally rocks with pricing!!! =)

Why can't we post it in the open then?

Here:

$18.88/mo Unlimited Tanning!!! ~This must be on all of your marketing, the "Just opened" banner that hangs on the building year in and year out, and the shopping center marquis, of course!

$18.88/mo checking draft (plus fees for NSF, BFD, turnip juice, etc) ***$49.99 inititial start-up, $37.76 first and last, prorated.

If, for some crazy, bizarre reason (like you only have 3 or 4) our level ones are "busy", or "broke down", or "being relamped", etc, member upgrades are as follows:

Level 2: $6
Level 3: $8
Level 4: $10
Level 5: $14
Level 6: $18.88
Stand-Up: $10
Mystic: $25 (Or get the value price of just $39 if you combine it with a level 3!)

Plus! Members get a free upcharge on all of our mandatory graduated lotion buys!

~Condescending looks and snickering is always free!~


Hope this helps. Good luck out there.
