The "Peach" Corner

Hi, I am Peach, I am an ordinary middle class guy who started a tanning salon in 1993, because my wife wanted a business of her own and didn't like waiting in line to tan at the "other" salon in town.

I have been in the business for 22 years now, I have managed through all of the ups and downs of the industry. I will be the first to admit that I do not have all of the answers; I am trying to make it from year to year, just like the rest of you. I am "low tech", I am not rich nor do I own a big chain of salons. I only own 1. I have made my fair share of mistakes, and I am willing to share those with you. I am sure there are others who know more about the technical parts of the business than I do. But I do know how to survive.

I don't have anything to sell you, and I am not a consultant for hire. I simply would like to see this industry survive. I believe that if the independent salon owner cannot survive, the industry will not survive.

So, I am here for you. All of you who do not have a million dollars to spend on upgrades. All of you who cannot afford to have another bad year or make another 10k mistake and survive. I will give my honest non agenda driven opinions. If I will be allowed to. Lets chat.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood? And what would the woodchuck's EFT prices be if a woodchuck could charge an EFT?

This is a trick question due to global warming we ALL know that there's no wood for the woodchuck to chuck. Global warming and the AAD are best friends while the tanning industry and woodchucks are dying together.

You are right. Most of the tanning salons in the US ARE dying.

As you know, I do not do EFT's. They are rip offs and smart customers hate them.

Yes - smart customers prefer to pay twice as much to tan in the same bed for the same month.

Mostly UV. Very strong spray though! Our uv/spray cocktail is where it's at though. :)

Yes, they are SO smart, they pay for tanning, and don't tan at all! Or so you hope. And we wonder why indoor tanning has achieved such a bad reputation.
