We are about to open in in 5 days, we believe we have everything ready to roll, but as I have seen here many times, someone can bring up the missing link. So my question is, what am I missing. I know I haven't listed anything, but what have most salons missed on their opening day? Just a background of the salon, we are TanAmerica bedded, 4 Santa Barbaras, 1 SunUp II, 1 Catalina, 1 Matrix L58 and 1 Summer Image 6 second spray booth. We are ready, but we want to hear some missing links from the already open salons, so your input will be greatly appreciated.

Marching band bull horn, 100,000 home mailer, Aerial planes with banners flying by, the designer skin girls, lotion give away, free tans, oversized ballon on roof, the biggest banner that would fit across the salon, a show of the salon.


Just free tan and lotion give away would be good too.

We have already done a community mailer, we seen the add already and have already fielded phone calls, so that worked. The balloon idea has been in mind, does it work. I mean it's only $20 bucks a day, so is it a go?

Definitely, the location is already bringing attention, we are located to a hair salon on the right (no tanning), and a nail salon on the right of that (no tanning, so alot of their customers are already hounding, when you gonna open? Plus, we are making friends with the employees of both those salons....!

Make darn sure everyone that will have be working in the store, even the *snow cone person, knows the beds and pricing programs back to front and then back again. *People love 25cent snow cones in the summer. Good luck.
