Use the beds proper names. The First class or Bora Bora names are stupid in my opinion.

we go based on the names of the beds.

I love it when people come in and say they use a turbo mega super ultra bed for 20min.

I then tell them our shitty bed is better than that and we call our super mega ultra beds the lawn chair out back.

I've wanted to get away from "levels" for sometime
but words like mega, super, and crap annoy me.
I thought about something similar to what Colours tanning did, but figured that would be better when we expand and do a grand reopening. Renaming levels at this point would be "pointless" since we are still growing.

People see levels and associate "levels of tanning ability" I hear all the time well since I am just starting I should do level 1 right?
Um no this isn't a work out routine.

Levels..Levels...what really gets me is when a bed manufacture uses the term "Turbo Power". I look inside the bed and see no "Turbo" or snail looking devise used to compress air...WTF

It's a tanning bed...not a car

i like proper unit names as well. Then explain this bed will give you good results, this one will give you better results, this one will give you the best results and this one - well, that one will leave you speechless!

But with proper names, cheesy welfare salons won't be able to show their customer that their $500 TURBO bed with 24 100w lamps at $5/session is a better deal than that $40,000 turbo bed down the street at $20/session

The def. TURBO, just made both those beds equal...so in the eyes of the customer why would they spend more than $5 for it?

We use Base, Accelerate and Maintain. I'd like to change the maintain to something else though...
