Business has slowed - tanTALK

richard9091 · 06-11-2013, 08:09 AM

This is my first year with sunless, so I'm still learning. After memorial day ,business has slowed substantially. This has always been the case with uv, but is this typical for sunless as well. Can we expect another busy time this year, or is it basically over until next spring? All comments are appreciated

It depends on the nature of your clientele. I have lots of clients that present "they are not able to do the UV tanning" so they are year around tanners.

I also advertise heavily to the Bridal population, executive business women, and work out gyms. Those women don't have the time to UV, they need Drive-thru tanning.

Proms, balls, dances ect end as the school year ends so i do loose that segment for awhile.

Richard I have always found that each market is a little different depending on your clientele and location. My sunless is a tad bit down but usually stays fairly-strong for my FL salons through the year. (beginning of October and November are slower...but it picks up towards the end of both months! Holidays...etc.) Now my Jersey salon.....that's a different story! But through summer it is level....for my salons at least.
