you stay open the day after thanksgiving, it's not a holiday for us! Who wants to go shopping that day anyways??

Close on that day called labor day, there is a reason it's a holiday, just like the 4th and just like memorial day. I have less of a personal problem being open on labor day though, it just doesn't carry as much weight as the 4th and memorial day to me.

Many salons only close Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, following the lead of traditional "retail" stores. Based on that, those that DO stay open often run special "one day sales" to try to make it worth their while and draw in more customers.

Day after Thanksgiving is not generally busy - without a sale.

Day before Christmas can be a good last minute gift card sale day if you advertise you have them

Labor day is not generally a very busy day given the time of year - but can be a good day for a "back to school" sale.

Labor Day-depends on weather.

Black Friday-always open, run a sale, do very well

Christmas Eve, open ALWAYS. normally very busy w people wanting to tan last minute and gift card sales.

We have closed labor day historically. But I am thinking about being open as my numbers have been pretty good.

Christmas Eve, open but usually close early, same with new years eve.

Black Friday, open, don't do a sale and generally not that busy, but not slow enough to close.

Hey there,
As a Newbie I'm wondering what type of back to school sales you run. We were thinking "Tan Together" to girls (or boys) could share a package. Or maybe putting together a package of tans + a lotion + pair of goggles???? Comments?
