Does every salon have a high pressure bed? - tanTALK

escapetan · 05-03-2010, 01:01 PM

I currently have one but am wondering if I want to keep it or not. Just wondering if every salon has one or not.

No they don't (Although most will call a 20 min bed "High Pressure")

Which are you considering your high pressure - the N'joy mix? Why would you get rid of it?

Yeah...you don't have an HP bed you have a combi.

Yes I do explain to customers it is half HP. The reason im asking is because this is my least selling bed right now. I was thinking of trading it for something else. It needs to be relamped very soon and am wondering if i should find something else or relamp again. I just dont know what i could get to replace it.

Most likely your least used bed due to it being a mattress and have a much longer session time. If you brought in a good 360 HP, i'm sure it would be one of your most used beds.

I agree with Din. But with that said, LOTS of my clients LOVE the 24 minute session and the soft mattress. But for those who do not fancy the bed, I think its less about the mattress and more about the time duration. Takes them a half hour to get in and out of that room.

AHHHH...okay, so she doesn't have a full HP. I see. That's a different story then.

Looking at your website, it is pretty clear to me why tanners use it the least.

It appears you have copied text - maybe from Sportarredo - describing the equipment.

Unfortunately, that was designed for the BUYER of the beds - so it focuses on things like "compact/simple maintenance/reliable/maximum use of space" (the silver star) and "cheap operating costs" and "the alternative" for the N'Joy Mix

Asking a customer to pay premium pricing for a bed that is touted as "cheap operating costs" probably isn't going to go over well.

Nor is it really enticing to pay premium to tan in......"The ALTERNATIVE"!!!

In addition, if you and/or your staff aren't really WOWED by the Njoy yourself - -your "pitch" in the salon will reflect this!

If a bed doesn't do well in a salon, it is rarely because it isn't a good bed. More often - it isn't priced properly or marketed effectively.
