does a car with 90hp perform as well as a car with 200hp? (hint the answer is yes in 9 out of 10 cases)

When you open your new salon you are going to have one chance to impress your potential new clients. IMO that is not going to happen with a 24 lamp home unit! You need to put in the best equipment that you are able to. The tanning beds should be your top priority in spending as this is what the clients are coming to you for.

before this turns into 10pages of the difference betewwn 24 and 28lamp garbage bottom line is what do you have to charge in order to make this business work? if it's $10 a tan then NO, these are not the beds for you. if its $4 a tan, then 24 lamp beds will be fine.

if you dont know how much you need to make then you are too far ahead of yourself.

I think if you do the 24 bulb beds you will be making a HUGE mistake.
If you have NO competition at all, why not do the 28 bulb beds for 7.00 a session and 45.00 a month?
If you are doing EFT you better have alot of beds to push it so you can cover your overhead with those prices.
