Rep Power: 27 | Re: Burned in the Tanning Biz...Everything must GO! I can understand how she was "burned". May not be her story, but many out there. Case in point.... we just had another salon open in our town. 6th one since we opened 8 years ago. Clients were telling us she was advertising "beds like this town has never seen". To make a long story short.... she uses same distributor as us. She put in smaller bed than ours. Her monthly price for a 12 minute bed is 40 dollars more than ours. I'm afraid its a dog eat dog business. Distributors are out to make a dollar too. Hence when some poor soul goes to them and says " I want to open a tanning salon", I'm sure they are not discouraged. They don't tell the poor, unsuspecting entrepeuner(sp) who probably hasnt done much research, that is is an oversaturated market, or that 3 salons have closed in the past few years, and 4 other have had new owners in the past year. Sign on the dotted line......... |
