How many clients are you all averaging per day? We are around 35

dcjjp1 · 27th August 2008, 09:43 AM

Still in the high 40's to high 50's daily. The bottom will fall out in late September, October

InternationalTan · 27th August 2008, 11:19 AM

depends, some days 35 some 65 its wierd lately. My overally average is 42

palmstanning · 27th August 2008, 12:09 PM

we are actually busy with the schools starting back .

eyecandytanning · 27th August 2008, 12:11 PM

One persons busy may be the other persons slow...i think it would be easier to know what percentage of season of tanners are you at.

8 Bed Tanning Salon Been in business for 1 year now. In July we averaged 55 tans a day and so far in August we are averaging 49 tans a day. I want August to be over right now! We are down 26% right now compared to July. I know I know it only gets worse ughhh...

palmstanning · 27th August 2008, 02:18 PM

Se we have 13 beds and our pca has been around 21 to 23 dollars! we have two big collages withing half a mile.

Din · 27th August 2008, 02:25 PM

exactly....PPA is what matters.

But to answer your question, over 45-70 people/day

tuscantan · 27th August 2008, 02:27 PM

i would rather have sort of ppa then these 60 tanners...and yes, they have bought lotions, downside of devoted line, too big.

The Freshness · 27th August 2008, 02:59 PM

7 units
33 clients/day

wow that sucks.

oh_night_divine14 · 27th August 2008, 03:18 PM

I am too embarrassed to say- haha

Din · 27th August 2008, 03:47 PM

it doesn't really matter how many units you have...you aren't going to do more people just because you have more units.

I have 4 beds and a standup and i'm doing same numbers as someone down the street that has 12 units.

Only if you reach capacity and you can't do more, then you obviously need to expand. Some people get more units than necessary thinking that it will be busier. All it does is add more overhead.

northtanman · 27th August 2008, 07:23 PM

anywhere from over 40 to 60...so 50 average

solman · 27th August 2008, 07:47 PM

6 beds/1 booth...average around 45

dbl-a · 27th August 2008, 08:54 PM

I don't hit double digits some days!

tamara · 27th August 2008, 09:25 PM

Averaging about 55-60. My slowest days are Sundays and those are usually about 40-45, some days in 70's. We have a lot of colleges nearby so hopefully with school being back it will get better, but who knows!

I think it matters in the course of this conversation. I think it's interesting to know how many units people have. If a 50 bed salon is only doing 33 clients a day then something is wrong. I like to visualize how big anoter persons salon is when discussing online...

palmstanning · 28th August 2008, 01:15 PM

There are alot of times out of season that I have all beds running and people waiting. Should I expand?

How long of a wait? Is it costing you business? A little waiting is good as it shows your clients that you are successful. If you have people walking out the door because the wait is 45 minutes then you may want to consider it. Don't expand (add beds) unless it will make you money.

"we have two big Collages near by"

Sounds like someone "skipped" going to College.
