Building a Successful Tanning Salon

Posted on: November 19th, 2012

How can I develop a successful tanning salon start up?

For those individuals, looking to start their own salon, this is the single, most important question to ask about the tanning industry.  And over the past 30 years of its existence, there have come many changes, and many new ways of approaching a tanning salon start up.

Around 3 decades ago, when tanning salons were on the rise, profits were large and equipment was small.  Today, with increased costs to run a salon, profits have shrunk, while the equipment just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

So just how does an owner create a successful tanning salon?  The answer to this is multi-faceted.

First, it is more crucial now, then ever, to not overspend to develop a profitable salon.  Unless the owner is independently wealthy, and can easily afford $250,000. to $300,000. in cash, only then might that make sense.  But for most of us, taking on debt of that size will almost always be a “deal-killer.”  Obtaining that large of a loan, in this economy, is highly unlikely, and having the monthly costs of such debt will most certainly strain the owner with a tremendous monthly burden.  But it does not have to be that way!

No Money Down Tanning Salons and Spas learned in 2008, after the economic crash, to find a better way to supply its existing clientele, as well as those looking to do a tanning salon start up, by drastically reducing the costs for the bigger equipment.  Units that would sell, brand new, for $10,000., $20,000., $30,000. and even $40,000. can be purchased, virtually as good as new, from our company for as little as $4,000.  The savings are massive and the quality is basically equal to that of new, and will enable a salon to be competitive, while still giving an impressive presentation to its customers.

Another crucial factor, No Money Down Tanning Salons and Spas offers to those entrepreneurs, looking to do a tanning salon start up, its 26 years of experience to advise and counsel them to avoid some of the many, serious pitfalls that often lead to a salon’s early demise;  pitfalls such as:  signing a contract for a bad location, agreeing to an impractical rent rate, not having the right amount of electrical supply, or having the wrong equipment for the demographic… just to name a few.

And what about the correct room size?  Rooms too small will restrict the caliber of equipment an owner can have, and will often make users feel “claustrophobic.”  Rooms too big can waste space to such extents as to sacrifice other profitable rooms that could have been built, thus costing owners tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars  in revenues, over the years ahead!

Add to those mistakes the wrong ways to borrow money, the incorrect information and support to give to builders and electricians, not planning for other necessities in the salon to accommodate certain needs, such as retail product shelving and a functional desk.

Again, a hopeful owner can avoid these types of pitfalls simply by contacting No Money Down Tanning Salons and Spas.  They have been helping some of the most successful salons in the country to get their start.  And best of all, the support programs that No Money Down Tanning Salons and Spas offers, to those looking to do a tanning salon start up, can be completely free!
