How can you tell for sure when your tanning equipment is outdated and needs to be replaced?

I have a friend who might know but is too afraid to tell you. She told me to tell you that.

She also said some things about you and your friends but I can't tell you cause I am afraid....... and I told her that and she told me to tell you that.

Is she the one that I stuck her hair into the ink well in math class last week?
But seriously, what's you opinion on the equipment..........?

Here's a hint.................
If these people are you clients and they are complaining about the age of your tanning equipment, it may be time to buy some new stuff!

Well, a tanning bed should last a great many years, but if it LOOKS bad and the customers can see it is indeed old they may *think* they are not getting a decent tan out of it, even if they are. (inhale) Now if it is falling apart and starting to cost a lot to repair, time to get a new one. Bad ballasts, lamp sockets, fans failing, etc. If it starts to add up, dump it. For a bed to get bad it has probably already paid for itself. For customers it is about perception so a great looking bed does a great job! However, if the bed is working fine just keep feeding it new bulbs (and customers)

If you're asking the question, you likely suspect that your equipment is dated and needing to be upgraded. If your clients won't use it, its time for an upgrade.
