but it was extreme discount 200mins for $20, cheap 80's bed mom and pop, so I don't expect much from it.
This is why they close. Minutes packages for too cheap. My comp closed for the same reason. I would have too if not for Natureboy teaching me the points system. Thanks James! There is a salon in big city next to my city that has changed ownership 3 times since I've been in business and they all do the minutes packages. My sales doubled my first year i implimented the points system, and climbing!

Hey, my thoughts on buying the data base. Don't. Talk to the owners and tell them you will honor their clients left over time for a limited time period for free so the owner doesn't look bad to the clients, and you get them for free! In your case James, it'd just be on your 424's and don't change your lamps till their done. I can garauntee they are way more powerful even at 1000 hours than the salon they were tanning at was. You'd be surprised how many of their clients will stick around with you afterwards, and they won't be able to resist jumping in that Magic!
