Your going to starve in the off season!

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I have yet to breakeven. Isn't this supposed to be the high season? So far from what I've read here, nobody is really making a killing in this business. You just get that feeling that the tanning equipment manufacturers know it too, but they only care about one thing--selling beds and then you are on your own.

Way too cheap. Those are almost single session prices. I have 2 levels of DECENT equipment and I charge $45/month and $75/month.
Based on your setup you should be MUCH MORE THAN ME.

For instance, you say UWE is that the S CLASS? If so that's a $20+ PER VISIT. There are people on here that get upwards of $40-$50/session in their HP beds.

There are MANY different situations but if you are talking HIGH SCALE your prices are VERY LOW SCALE.

I totaly agree with Engfant, prices are way too low with the income ! Sart high then come down if you need too..Shop all the compitetion for equipment & prices, do a business plan then make your final decision.

I don't think anyone mentioned his monthly for High Pressure. Does anyone do monthly unlimited on HP?? We have session only, and we start at about $30 per.

I mentioned it in my post, as well as a PM to him. We do monthly unlimited on HP as an option, but his price is VERY low.

Thanks for all of the input, I appreciate everyone who has taken the time to share their thoughts. It definitely has made me rethink some of my strategies. On a side note, I am working on my business plan and have been for some time. Does anyone have a business plan that they have used to secure a loan that they would be willing to share with me. I would really appreciate any and all help in that area.

Banks are not to hip on giving loans for tanning salons, from what others have said in these forums.

AS far as I can see it you cannot make good money in the buisness unless you have something else to carry you in the off season.good thing I have a laundromat in one of my tanning salons.
