Default Pumping up sales in AUGUST

OK, JASON is into month #2.

What are you doing, what have you done in the past to bring in some much needed cash flow OR lower expenses????

We have 2 specials this month that seem to be working quite well...1. Tan til the end of 08 for $189. Level 1 of course. 2. Buy 1 lotion get 2nd half off. This is working really well and helping up move some old lotions out to make room for some new ones! We only offer lotion specials in off season so people are taking advantage of this.

I'd be screwed if I offered a tan till the end of 08 unless it was a co-pay.

August seems to be picking up on its own. We're having post cards come back that we mailed out over a month ago. The re-ups are picking up as well. I hope it stays this way!

^^^^ For the LIFE of me, I can't figure out "S.F."

If you prefer, you can PM me......


Oh - also - are these taxable? If you are on Helios, bet you'll have to code it as product --- not enough darn accumulators!

I am running buy a lotion get 2 tans free( any bed). Also doing the tan for rest of 2008 starting in Sept.

I know you all hate minutes ( I have them in my level 1 beds only) but when they buy a 300 minute package this month I give them 3 upgrades free. Gets them into the better beds and they rarely go back.

I don't have any trouble selling to my customers in Aug. It's just that I don't have any customers! Going to start ads again in Sept and plan for a FTW in Oct. Going to do it big this time and really let the area know how nice my salon is. And push the upgrade beds and packages too!
