Are these Typical numbers? - Page 3

each bed on a national average brings in $15k w/ 30% of that being lotion sales.
calculate out your total # of beds times $15k and that's a pretty good number to shoot for. month by month breaks down like this (approxametley according to national averages)
Jan-7.8% Feb-10.9% March-12.7% April-14.9% May-14.7% June-11.1% July-6% August-6.1% Sept-3% Oct--3.2% Nov-4.2% Dec-5.4%
Hope this helps. This is really more of a guidline than anything else since it is of course an average.

Howard, where did you get those numbers?

Howard,
The 15k per bed number ... Where did you get that? Is that a national average or personal experience? The only space available to us is over 3000 square feet. We are in a small town where noone does tanning "right" but there are quite a few beds in town. We had only planned to open with 8 beds but we can afford 10. I guess my question is "when do you reach diminishing marginal returns on buying beds?" I may try to bring in a massage therapist and some retail to fill the space or I might just buy a bunch of Microsoft... and let Bill Gates do the work! 3000 feet is a lot of space in a small town.

First thing I caught was relamping 1 time a year. That would put you straight out of business around here. Thats why I usually start picking up the comp's customers when we get deep in the slow season. They dont relamp but once a year right before busy season. I relamp at least 1/2 beds in slow season.
