Re-launching with Mystic Tan

barringt0n · 05-05-2004, 10:00 AM

I'm buying a tanning salon at the end of this month. I will be installing a mystic tan booth. What are best promotional ideas to re-launch the business?

Why a Mystic? It's old technology. Go for a spray-on, if you must, that has a shorter session time.

What's a spray-on?

You said you were installing a Mystic-Tan and you don't know what a spray-on is? Do you have enough money to open up a Burger King?

do the 2 for 1 special...advertise and they will come...I was considering spray on but then you have to contend with sexual harrassment and more.

Spray on is when you do the spraying of the client yourself..............do lots of research and see what they are charging in your area...go try one............education is the key to being succesful, and just because you don't like something does not mean the client's are not going to like it.....

Spray on is not only when you spray the client yourself. If this person doesn't know what spray on is they shouldn't be getting into it,and from this writers view point neither should you....

I've done spray on for over a year and I'm so tired of how many people get messed up on the booth tans then want us to fix it or end up with a bad taste in their mouth over this kind of tanning, air brush takes a little longer but it's much cheaper to get into and I beleave works much better with a higher return on investment, we got a investment back in less then 1 month though it's a tougher market know then it was just a year ago I still would'nt go any other way, as competive as the market is know the booth will take 3 to 5 years to brake even, my friend has the booth and wishes know he would have gone with air brush tanning .

also you use 3oz of solution on air brush tanning and 10oz or more on the booth, and you give your client a better tan because you have control of how much goes where, like face, hands, feet, elbows and knees get it lighter so it's more natural looking (they used it on the bay watch show also thats how they looked so perfect LOL)

also about the harrassment thing if you use a woman to perform and schdule only on certain days you fill up your schdule and get more of them done because they end up beleaving your doing alot of air brush tanning and every body wants what every one is doing, and $30.00 to $35.00 is the going rate in most areas, someone can learn to do it after only 1 or 2 times so it's easy to train someone.

We have the Mystic Tan, and our clients love it, no real complaints except a couple. And it was the clients fault, for not paying attention to the video and listening to the instructions from the Operator on duty.

We didn't want the possibility of sexual harrassment. The Mystic is easy and is self cleaning. Client is in and out in less than 15 minutes.

You possibly need to actually use the Mystic and/or check out air brushing for yourself and make your own decision which you like better.
