Rep Power: 20 | Re: AND THE ANNUAL DOWNTREND CONTINUES Sunsally, WE ARE THE CUSTOMERS! And the advertisers are the real bosses or clients. If I was running this site I would want traffic. Why do you think that companies advertise on these sites? Ans: to try to sell us (the traffic) stuff (you included). Why then, would you care what beds I like or how I wire my store, or whether I clean my beds or ask my customers to, whether I use paper towels or linen? This is some of the stupid S _ _ _ that I was banned for talking about. If I was the advertisers on TT site, and they were alienating their CUSTOMERS by banning them and watching the TRAFFIC get slower and slower, I would pull my ads and revenue from the site. It takes an incredibly arrogant and stupid person to let moderators screw up their business model, just to feel superior to another member of their industry. |

1. I didn't ban you, nor did this site. This thread has gone WAY off topic. That said....you are one of the "guilty party" to continue to do that -- which may well be why you were asked to leave the other site. I don't know - nor is is relevant here. I was making general statements. 2. In the salon - everyone is a "paying customer". However, you have some customers who are more trouble than they are "worth" to the salon in terms of revenue. Some websites - in ALL arenas, not just tanning - make a choice about what the "majority" of their customers would prefer. Back to topic or let's close the thread and move to another one --- who is seeing downward trends and who is seeing upward? | |

Then, let you and others know, the season has kicked in nicely, and very much on a upward trend. Yay! | |

Rep Power: 20 | Re: AND THE ANNUAL DOWNTREND CONTINUES As usual, I am blamed for taking the thread off topic. I did not. If you will look at the posts.....you will see that that is the truth. But when someone wants to mess with you, the truth does not matter. You are right about one thing; this site didn't ban me and they are better off for that. 2 years ago this time TT (the other site) had 21,000 people on their site, now (in 2014) less than 9,000. That says it all...... |

See how hard it is to stay on topic here? Habit of sidetracking a thread happens on nearly each thread started. | |

Rep Power: 20 | Re: AND THE ANNUAL DOWNTREND CONTINUES I am sure that if they could get it down to about 4 people it would be even BETTER! Kooky guy, BO, Sunsally, Frankie. and you. Then you could truly rise to a higher level of tanning consciousness without having to put up with the rest of us peons. |

Rep Power: 20 | Re: AND THE ANNUAL DOWNTREND CONTINUES One thing that I really like about this site is that people DO NOT put down others equipment for sale. One man's junk is another man's treasure....anyone got a good used orbit for sale? |

Rep Power: 22 | Re: AND THE ANNUAL DOWNTREND CONTINUES It's a no-no here to bad mouth, or make snide remarks about someone's "for sale" threads. Let the market dictate what things will sell for. If an item is priced to high, it won't sell, so they don't need anyone telling them they are crazy asking that much. I know, let's get back on topic.
