My name is Rick Houston and I have been in the indoor tanning industry for over 15 years with experience in manufacturing, retail salon locations, and online marketing of all tanning salon products and I can honestly say NOW is the best time to open a tanning salon and here are a few of the reasons WHY:

Reason #1:  We are currently experiencing the toughest economic period since the great depression and this has created a "consolidation" of indoor tanning facilities and equipment.  In the summer of 2010 the USA Today reported the top 5 cities in the US for number of tanning salons were Pittsburgh, Charleston, WV, Akron, Fargo, & Scottsdale.  In Charleston, West Virginia, a city with 52,000 people, there were 52 tanning salons, or one for every 1,000 residents.  By contrast, there were only 2 McDonalds and 1 Starbucks

The lesson learned here is that a consolidation period after an amazing growth period is only natural and has created great opportunities in both location selection, build-out costs, and equipment costs.  This eBook on How to Open a Tanning Salon will explain exactly how you can take advantage of these tough economic times and save thousands on monthly lease amounts, find free build-out money, and learn where to buy used tanning salon equipment at .10 to .20 cents on the dollar!


Reason #2: The new Health Bill included a 10% tanning tax which went into effect on Julysunless spray tan booths are an important part of a new tanning salon 1, 2010 and this event, coupled with poor economic conditions, caused many salons "on the fence", to fail.  This is a created a fantastic "buy low, sell high" opportunity for the open minded business opportunist.

Most of the recently closed salons were opened at the end of the growth period, which mirrored the end of the real estate boom...which created artificially inflated real estate prices and subsequently created incredibly high monthly rents for tanning salons.  The current landlords were and are unwilling to negotiate "down" a lease with a current tenant, but perfectly willing to negotiate a "new" lease at a lower amount with a "new" tenant.  In most cases, 50% of the previous amount.  Buy this eBook and I will show you how to properly ask for and receive a 50% reduction in monthly lease amounts compared to just a few years ago AND I will reveal a little know secret on how to legally avoid the 10% tax!


Reason #3: The World Health Organization (WHO) in April 2010 placed ultra-violet devices, along with the sun, on the known carcinogen list.  This is not a surprise and this part of the continued awareness program the WHO offers to make everyone aware of the damage the Sun, and sunbeds or tanning beds, can cause to your skin if you ABUSE them or do not take necessary precautions.  This tanning bed and sunbed fact sheet will from the WHO will explain how they say to "manage" these risks: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs287/en/ <<click to download this is the new red light therapy bed which replaces uv light bulbs in your old tanning bed

Keep in mind, we NEED regulation and awareness in our industry. Over 30 of our states in the US have NO regulation or inspection of tanning devices what so ever.  Also, try to understand we are going through a regulation period in the industry, along with a consolidation period of the number of salons, and a transition period to UV free spray tan products and red light therapy bulbs as well.  If you embrace these changes and make it through these tough times, your salon will be "battle" tested and able to stand the toughest economic times...now!  This eBook will show you how to set up a small "profit" center that can pay it's bills in the slowest months and explode in the busy months.
