What kind of discounts do you salon owners give to your family members?

The family members do not work or help out with the salon. I want to keep in mind this is a new business and we obviously have employees, utilities and other bills to pay.

My cousin (my best friend) tans for free but pays full price for products. My mom won't let me give her a discount because she says we'll never make money if we keep giving it away! My other immediate family tans with a 25% discount on everything.

I treat each one different, I have one sister that I let tan for free and she buys her lotion for just a little less than full price and another that pays for tanning and I cut her a deal on the lotion. so it works out about the same. Immediate family tan free, I just about have to make my son tan, he doesn't think it is too manly (he's 14) but he has started working for me in the afternoons and has figured out this is the place to see all of the girls! I think he would work for free now!! and he actually WANTS to tan now.

Family members get 50% off tanning. Now we are experienceing "friends" wanting more of a discount too. We have been giving them 20%, some keep asking and expecting more... I can see where it can get out of hand. Since we have only been open for four months. I mention to them "do you want to see me succeed in business?" I can't if I keeping giving discounts.

I even had someone approach me when he was buying his second package asking for a discount. Never knew him before we opened the salon. He thinks since we talk when he comes to tan, we have become friends, NOT!!! Last time he mentioned a discount, I told him, if we were such good friends for me to give him a discount, why didn't I get invited to his wedding? He has never mentioned a discount again. Last night he bought a bottle of Worship. End of discussion.

Good for you! That was a great comeback. I have learned that people will push as far as they can as long as they get away with it. It has been hard but I have learned to smile and act like I think they are joking or I will say something like..I'll give you a discount when the electric company gives me one. It works!

Dearest MJ,
I am not sure what a distie is, but from the "tone" of your response it appears to me that it was a mean dig. My sympathies to you. I am new here, not a spammer, I dislike SPAM and rude people. I love to assist people and was so excited to find this site; purely by accident I might add. If you happen to start getting SPAM related to Cinnamon Bay, I assure you I had nothing to do with it. Thank you for the extra attention, and again, I am sorry to hear such negativity from someone. I hope things get better for you and you feel better about yourself soon. I am not here to bicker or play immature games. I simply want to clear up your misinformation ~ Pam

My original response was deleted..why?????
I do not know. The second evil was my response to brat like mods who made the final decision to censor me.

I remember to save that one.
Quote:I see censorship is still very much alive and well here. WHAT I SAID I HAD EVERY RIGHT TO SAY. Now no need to get your pals to warn me to death Cya! Until the coward that edited me can be seen...and states their reasons....I will not bother to visit here.

That was a clean post.... no ****, ***, *******, skrew, *****, tramp, ****, words were used. If words like 'disdain' and 'remedial' are comsidered "bad here. Then, Fhuck you people! In the future I will just reply (if at all) on Tanformation.com where the mods from CesorshipRus.com cannot evil eye my OPINION. Especially when this person called me out to play.

You guys can go back to watching grass grow or paint dry.
I will post a board free of anal retentive closed minded simpltons in charge of what is said or not said. Does it agree with the banners advertisers? Or will on a board where they cater to whining posters that bring the shiiit on themselves..and can't take it when you smack them back. I am getting really tired of cutting and pasting all my posts into word because certain people think the evil eye is their you play toy.
Buh Bye now.




PS I saved this post to..I guess censorship is alive and well here even without the brat. :eyeroll:
