Just wanted to see how everyone's summer is doing.

Glowtanning530 · 15th July 2008, 09:12 PM

better than expected. and you?

baskinthesuntanning · 15th July 2008, 09:21 PM

still quite a bit up from last year; however, summer seems to finally be setting in this week!

.... oh why oh why don't people tan year round?!

tanalicioustans · 15th July 2008, 10:56 PM

Had a great June and a first week of July. This week has started very slow not much money so far. Summer has finally come.

Mojave Tan · 16th July 2008, 01:33 AM

Glad June is behind us. Smoke and crazy weather didn't do much for business. July..a much better story!

eyecandytanning · 16th July 2008, 02:43 AM

Much better than anticipated. Cant complain. Just had yet another salon close near me.

tuscantan · 16th July 2008, 07:35 AM

Making enough to pay my bills, so I am happy!

InternationalTan · 16th July 2008, 09:58 AM

The summer weather has finally hit here, gorgeous beach days all week long. Yesterday did better than expected. Summer has been good, glad there is only about 7 weeks left. Cant wait for it to be over

Haha, yeah not looking forward to those fall months at all!

Glowtanning530 · 16th July 2008, 12:50 PM

Yea I am anticipating it being worse than normal. I saved therefore I will survive!

shelleytn1 · 16th July 2008, 12:56 PM

def seeing a drop this month here - busy all the way thru the end of june - then it's like everyone dropped off the face of the earth...
still getting over a hundred peeps a day - but the sales don't really match that - urg

Din · 16th July 2008, 01:54 PM

Fine, thanks for asking.

Kathe · 16th July 2008, 02:01 PM

Keeping steady here. Not seeing as many tanners but more money from the ones that come in. Big Formostar packages being sold, a good number of sprays and a lot of product so that is filling in the gaps.

InternationalTan · 17th July 2008, 12:29 PM

Sprays have been my saving grace. This past week with the weather really killed me. we have been having showers and cloudy days for the entire summer until last sat. and bam it was 90 and sunny not a spec of rain since than! i went from 60 and 70 tans to 32 yesterday. monday was 26 people. AWFUL!

solman · 17th July 2008, 12:42 PM

July's tracking up from June. Since it's our first year I don't know if that means July is going really good or that June sucked. Anyway, we're paying the bills so far. Number of tanners is done 50% from "busy season" (April/May) and the dollars are about the same.

Kathe · 17th July 2008, 12:59 PM

Just did our numbers to compared to last July and we are almost double. Wowza!! Formostar and Arbonne are making a big difference. Tanning numbers are just about the same as they were last year.

northtanman · 17th July 2008, 02:17 PM

june was way up...and july already beat last years lotion sales!! tanning up too. its been an "up" year so far since january!!

JustTans23 · 17th July 2008, 02:23 PM

I haven't been comparing yet because I don't want to jinx anything, but the bank account is looking okay so for now we are good. Sprays and my co-pay packages have been saving me from wanting to shoot someone. At almost $40 a pop for 10 minutes of work, you can't beat them!

InternationalTan · 17th July 2008, 06:48 PM

I am going to raise my spray tan pricing come september ^^ gives me some more pocket money to help ease through JASON. Arbonne is helping, I sell alot of the bronzers at $28 a pop!
