Re: Good idea to offer unlimited?

We offer unlimited in all four levels...49/59/69/99. In addition we offer single-visit, 5-visit, and 10-visit packages. Minute packages usually only benefit the tanner, not the owner.

Re: Good idea to offer unlimited?

Maybe it depends on the bed. Minutes in my case seem too customer friendly.

Re: Good idea to offer unlimited?

I think "UNLIMITED" is a stupid term to use for a tanning package unless it means you can use any and ALL equipment you have to offer for one price. Thats a UNLIMITED package!
Otherwise its just a monthly tanning package.
Selling as a unlimited monthly package the way most refer to makes people think they can start at full time and use it any time they want which if you are doing things right, isn't quite the case since people should allow a full 24hours between tanning sessions. Too many think that if they come in at 6pm they can come back at 9 am because they have an "UNLIMITED" tanning package and its a different day. Thats my thought on the "UNLIMITED" subject.

We arent all regulated although we do stress being careful with two visits in 24 hours. Been doind this 15 years and never had anyone try to use thier premium 30 day package on our ultra class beds. Maybe its a yankee thing, bit slower up north i hear.

Never had anyone, ever, think that of "unlimited packages" around here. And why can they not start at full time? If they have a base why would we limit them?

We offer EFT's, Month Pkg and Sundollars. We price our month pkg higher along with Sun Dollars. Our goal is to get them on the EFT's.

Re: Good idea to offer unlimited?

I offer the month unlimited for $35 on base beds. I also always have special on visits. such as 16 visits for $60, visits are good until 12/31. i always have 4 tans for $20 so there is always something for everyone. minutes don't work very well. i dont discount the month if people want another month,then they pay the $35 again. and people find it to be a very good value.

Do you have all your tanners come in with a base? NO
Do your customers want a base and buy your UNLIMITED?
YES
Is it not limited, or do you allow everyone to start at full time? Hopefully,not.
To me, unlimited just is a weird term unless you only a few base beds, or If you have more than one level of tanning and you can use any bed for the same price. That, to me is unlimited. Otherwise, no unlimited, its just a monthly package for the lowest price available. Maybe i'm just weird..

Must be something in your area. No client has EVER questioned being able to tan just once a day and interpreting that as "limited" in any fashion nor to we "limit" there time, we recommend and negotiate and explain it to make the client feel that the time WE decide was THIER decision.

By the way, we never ever sell "unlimited". We well "Level 2 unlimited" or "level 2 unlimited" etc....
