heat · 10-27-2004, 05:01 PM

hi everyone- I have been reading this board for a few weeks now- thanks for all of your efforts and insightful input.

I am new to the industry and have a great location waiting in the wings, but have a lot of newbie questions that i am sure you all are bored with by now.

Any suggestions on resources for a newbie...what about the "tanning bible"? couldn't find it on ebay or amazon- anyone interested in selling me your copy. i would like to get as much info. as i can before i start dumping questions on you all.
Info. on basic permitting, insurance, bed types, membership/plan structures, lotions, etc.? Thanks for any help and suggestions!

The "Tanning Bible" is a bit pricy, not likely that anyone will give it up for free. Instead search for free resources. Try www.sundash.com and look for the links to Sun Business and the break even analysis, both to be used as a guide only, but worth a look. Contact manufacturers that have start-up programs, not one, but all you can find so that you can balance the information provided. Hopefully you have some tanning experience, that is, you're a tanner, so you will have a little insight into what goes on. Finally, use the search feature on this site to view other threads that may be of interest. Good luck, unless you are in my neighbourhood.

Engfant.com doesn't appear to have anything to do with tanning. As a matter of fact, you're treated to a pic of Bush superimposed with Hitler and mock picture of Bush flipping you off...just when you think people can't get any more crass.

Wolff beds?
Is this a specific bed model, like the sunstorm or matrix, or is it a general name given to a specific group of beds or type of technology?
