I know Movieking, I was referring to this post ^^^^. That is how they can do the unlimited for $30.00, they rely on the fact that these tanners will be upgrading, buying product, and not tanning everyday!

Re: Snooze you lose!

They already have a GREAT spot that I missed, too slow, I was looking at another location, little bigger, 2 blocks down, not on the main strip. They haven't started their construction yet.

Yuck, who still goes to hairdressers anyways??? I picture ratty old dust collectors. You don't have any other salons around Missy? There's one right behind me. Our parking lots butt up to one another.

Re: Snooze you lose!

We dont do EFT's and what in the world did your customer buy that cost $123.00?
The other shop doesnt have anything to upgrade to.
Also how can some shops call it unlimited for a week when buying a bottle of lotion and only let their customers tan every other day? Wouldnt that be false advertising?

Re: Snooze you lose!

^^^^ eventhough it is unlimited tanning, almost nobody comes in everyday. Like movieking said, his average is about 8 visits per month for the EFT members which is the same average I see here. So you dont think of it as charging a $1 a day, you think of in average visits.

Re: Snooze you lose!

I recently discovered the power of the upgrade and it was added hundereds of dollars to my daily bottom line! You can move more people in and our because they are less time. I to have the $35 unlimted month at the local beauty salon compitition. I have learned I do have an unlimited month at $35 but its an EFT. That has helped at least get people in the door
