What to do about higher gas prices

What to do about higher gas prices?
From the GSK Resources Educational Newsletter
We are seeing the normal increase in summer gas prices. As a salon owner, you know that this will effect the amount of money in your tanners pockets.
My suggestions are:
* Lock your tanners into ETF monthly programs. So they are committed to tanning in your salon regardless of the changing gas prices and other economic conditions.
* Focus on selling lotions. Indoor tanning products should be 40% of the revenue for tanning salon owners. Make sure you have indoor tanning products that you tanners can afford. With gas heading again towards $3.00 a gallon not everyone can afford to spend $100 for a bottle of lotion. Have premium quality products that tanners can afford!
* Consider a lotion bar. Give tanners the ability to purchase lotions one shot at a time….. Simple and affordable for everyone!
* Reduce you monthly cost. Talk to your landlord about reducing your rent during the recession. Explain that you are struggling and would hate to move your location to a lower cost strip center or a worst go out of business and leave him another vacant spot. It’s like poker….. sometimes bluffing works!
If you would like to recieve the free GSK Resources Educational Newsletter simply IM me your e-mail address.

Re: What to do about higher gas prices

It benefits us when gas prices go up, the tanners stay home instead of making the drive to the beach. :)

Depends where you're at. I'm only about 15 miles from the beach.
