Tanning Salons Need to Diversify
If you own a tanning salon, then you know that this business is seasonal. Having a tanning salon that only attracts customers looking to get a tan works well during the tanning season, which varies across the nation. But, what about the off-season? If your customers are not looking to come in to get a tan during certain months of the year, what can you do? Well, you have to offer other services that will appeal to your current customer base. Salons have been adding Infrared Body Wrap Systems, Infrared Massage Beds, skincare products, Dermabrasion Systems, and spa capsule systems. These types of services are usually found in day spas but, by adding them to you salon, you will certainly complement your tanning service with these additional services providing more revenue during the off-season.Some of these services actually work best in your off-season such as the infrared body wrap systems. These systems claim to have weight loss benefits, can contour your body, and can improve the appearance of cellulite. Most tanning salon's slow times usually occur during November, December and January and these are the perfect times to sell this particular service. Not only will it supplement your tanning income and get you through the slow season, it will help boost your revenue and growth during the rest of the year.
Dermabrasion Systems and Skin Care Products are also very popular and you may benefit by just having them available in your salon. Keep in mind, though, that some of these day spa products or equipment may require some licensing. Check with your state or Board of Cosmetology to find out if licensing is required in your state.
By offering additional services in your tanning salon, you are more likely to see more revenue from your current customers and you are likely to see your customer pool rise. If people who don't normally tan come in to your salon to have a session on the body wrap or have an appointment for dermabrasion, you would be making money that you otherwise would have not. And, since they are already in your tanning salon, you will have the opportunity to introduce and sell them on your tanning services.
So, if you own a tanning salon, or are looking to start one, know that the business is a seasonal one. Expand your service offerings, with services such as the infrared body wrap or dermabrasion systems, in order to increase revenue during the slow part of the year. The more people you have visiting your salon throughout the year, because of additional services, the better the opportunity to sell them any of your services.
