We have 8 beds and average about 30 to 40 people during the week and only 18 to 25 on Sundays. I even started "Tan any bed on Sundays for just $5" And it really isn't bringing in much extra traffic.

When we decided to open our salon in 1990 our distributor at that time told me whatever you do, do not lower your prices in the slow season because that will not bring in more tanners. He was correct.

Another interesting stat is what percentage you are seeing now, versus what you saw in peak season.

off the subject, but it doesn't matter what special i run it doesn't bring in any more customers, just the ones that will tan anyway, so i might as well get full price. so i'm pretty much done with specials, maybe 1 or 2 a year.?

I'm embarrassed to say that we have 2 beds and 1 stand up unit and we average about 6 tanners per day and 5 of those will be prepaid packages, so zero dollars coming in. Now, any ideas on what to do with those kind of figures? LOL!! Don't say close, that would break my heart!!

Yes we do. We are a day spa, so we offer massage, bodywraps, etc., but we only average about one massage a day at $40., and even some of those services are sold in packages.

We have been in business almost 5 years, but we have only had tanning beds about a year and a half.

are you doing advertising for your salon? you need to advertise to get people in the door! you aren't going to sell anything if people aren't coming in. maybe you could do a good tanning special to get people in and then you have an opportunity to sell lotion and other services.. you may also want to try a referral program with the clients you already have

PPA, PPL, Per person average, per person lotion? Is that right?

In Salon Touch, they give you distinct tanners versus tanners. I am averaging 55 tanners, but very low sales.

That's PPA (per person average) and LPPA (lotion per person average) would be the most common way it is depicted.
