Is the way you market your tanning salon effective? You need
to offer more than just your address and phone number in the
newspaper. Creative advertising can really help you to get
the most out of your advertising dollars. You will need to
go beyond letting people know you have a tanning salon. Let
them know what your business features and why they should be
coming in.

Think about the various ways in which you offer services
that exceed customer's expectations. Do you have a policy
where they won't have to wait for a tanning area for their
appointment? Do you offer services such as pedicures and
facials in addition to tanning? Make sure all of your
customers are aware of all the great things you have to
offer them.

The more detailed you can be with your tanning salon
marketing the more customers will be motivated to come in.
They will see something that fills a need they have at the
time. For example there are people out there who wish they
could get a tan but they are either white or red. When they
see your advertisement for sunless tanning that can give
them the look they want they will be very motivated to check
into it further.

One of the main reasons why people choose to tan at a salon
is that it is convenient. They may work all day and
therefore they don't have the opportunity to soak up the
sun. Do your part to make it very convenient for them to get
an appointment that fits into their schedule. Many tanning
salons do extend their hours during the busy season, but do
you let your customers know it?

It is great if you can offer tanning services from early
morning for those who wish to tan before work. If you can be
open into the evening for those that work late and even on
Saturday you are going to generate business. Make that
information known so that they don't have to call around to
check. Chances are the customers are going to go where they
don't have to do too much additional work to set it all up.

This type of extending hours of service will also help to
cut down too many people trying to get an appointment at the
same time. If you offer early morning tanning sessions as
well as evening ones, not everyone will have to try to get
in on their lunch hour. Overall this is going to make the
process go much smoother for you, the staff, and of course
your valued customers.

Never forget to encourage your previous customers to come
back in either. Don't assume that they will just
automatically come in and start tanning again in the spring.
You don't want them to feel they can't find time for it. You
also don't want them to look into going to another tanning
salon. Send them out something in the mail to remind them of
what you have. To show your appreciation to them you can
also offer a discounted price on tanning services and
products.

You may feel that you are advertising for your tanning salon
so all is well. Yet you need to really stop to evaluate if
the way in which you market it is effective or not. You
definitely want to do all you can to retain previous
customers. You also want to work to encourage first time
customers to become regular faces you see around your
tanning salon.
