Rep Power: 23 | Who has the incentive of free tans with the purchase of tanning lotions, and how well does it go over for you? I am thinking of giving away sessions with my lotions...Do you advertise it, or let them know after they purchased the product that they get free tanning? Thanks!! |

Rep Power: 21 | This is what one Cleveland-area salon does: They buy close-out lotions for $3-$4 a bottle that normally retail for $50-$60. They then sell the lotion at full retail, and the promotion is that the customer gets a month of unlimited tanning for free. The sale is basically a wash, but the motivation for the salon is that they put premium-style lotions in the hands of customers who normally wouldn't spend $50-$60 on a bottle of lotion. The result for the salon are some increased lotion sales down the road. |

Rep Power: 22 | We have been doing it since we opened and it goes over well, we dont advertise outside the salon, but there is a chart on the lotion cabinet to explain how it works. It really helps the client feel they are getting more for their purchase when buying the higher priced lotions. 20. to 29.95 1 free 20 minute sess $6. value 30. to 39.95 1 free 10 minute sess $10 value 40. to 49.95 2 free 10 munute sess $20 value 50. to 50.95 1 free 10 and 1 free 12 min sess $23 value 60. or more 2 free 12 min sess $26 value we sold over $52000 in lotions alone last year |

Rep Power: 21 | I did the same as Tanning Emporium. If they purchase: $15-20 value receive Level 1 Tan Free $21 - $30 receive Level 2 $31 - $40 receive Level 3 $41 - over receive Level 4 Most people like the fact that with a good lotion over $41 they will get into my VHR HP bed and that's a treat for them. I only did this as a Winter Special and I'm not doing it anymore. Right now everyone is needing lotion anyways since they are just starting. Most people in my area are either "cheap" or on a strict "budget". But in my opinion my small town is "cheap" I hate to say this but they are!! |

Rep Power: 51 | Re: Free Tanning with the Purchase of a Tanning Lotion... How about just giving out upgrades with lotion purchases? I give out free credits *which are used for upgrades* with certain lotion purchases.

Rep Power: 17 | Re: Free Tanning with the Purchase of a Tanning Lotion... we do the same- free level 1 tan with lotion purchase up to 25.00 free level 2 tan with lotion purchase 26.00-45.00 free level 3 tan with lotion purchase 46.00 and up we have done 2 free tans as well customers like it and that way your not reducing the price of the lotion. its cost less to run a bed for 1 session than to cut into your profit margin with lotions. |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Free Tanning with the Purchase of a Tanning Lotion... Any new customer can get a week free with a lotion bottle purchase. The bottle has to be $30 or more to get the special. We also give members 25% of the price of their lotion back on their account as free upgrade $$. |
