J.A.S.O.N Begins

Our numbers were up this year for Q1 and Q2. However, or July is not meeting expectations at all, particularily the second half of the month (now). I am curious as how other salons are doing right now, and has 2008 been a favorable year for you so far?

Re: J.A.S.O.N Begins

Oh that dreaded time of year. We are up for Q1, mildly down for Q2, Really down now, worse than to be expected. And everything keeps going up. How do we even maintain anymore?? Can't wait for J.A.S.O.N. to be over!!!! Bring on 2009!!

Same here in FL. June sales were about 22% down from May-Jun and July is looking to be just barely under June. Tans about 18% down May-June.

Re: J.A.S.O.N Begins

Not that I am happy that all of us are in the same boat.. but it is reassuring to know the same pattern is happening everywhere..and not just "me"

we were up $1500-$2000 per month from last year, until June... which we finished $754 down from 07, July looks to be worse.. I am cutting payroll and working tons of hours at the salon.

Here is the pattern I see. Tanning numbers are very comparable to last year, but lotion sales are WAY down.

Which begs the question.. do I keep mostly $45-$60 lotions on the shelf ( so that the margins and avg per sale are high ) or go to mostly $20 - $30-'s and do it in volume?

Re: J.A.S.O.N Begins

We actually had VERY strong lotion sales this year. Most bottles were in the $40+ range, which is very different than ANY other year in record. Very odd, but over all less bottles were sold, just the retail prices averages were WAY up.

The new ETF program has been a big boost and something I strongly encourage anyone to do! If done right a salon can coast right through JASON.
