Sunless Tanning $79.66 Sunless tanning (also known as self tanning, fake tanning, or UVfree tanning) refers to applying chemicals to the body to produce an effect similar in appearance to a more traditional suntan. Sunless tanning arose in response to links between sun exposure and skin cancer discovered in the 1960s, along with other alternatives to natural sun tanning such as the use of a sunbed or tanning bed.The most effective products available are sunless tanning or self tanning lotions and sprays that contain dihydroxyacetone (DHA) as the active ingredient. The tan is not a dye, stain or paint, but a chemical reaction between the DHA and the amino acids in the dead layer on the skin surface. citation needed] This is similar to a reaction well known to food chemists called the Maillard reaction.

Tanning Addiction $79.66 Tanning addiction is a rare syndrome where an individual appears to have a physical and/or psychological addiction to sunbathing or the use of tanning beds. The mechanism of the addiction is unknown at this time.In 2005, a group of dermatologists published a study showing that frequent tanners experience a loss of control over their tanning schedule, displaying a pattern of addiction similar to smokers and alcoholics.Biochemical evidence indicates that tanning addicts are addicted to an opioid release experienced during tanning. When frequent tanners took an endorphin blocker in a 2006 study, they experienced severe withdrawal symptoms, while infrequent tanners experienced no withdrawal symptoms under the same conditions.

Tanning Bed $70.1 A tanning bed or sunbed is a device emitting ultraviolet radiation (typically 95 UVA and 5 UVB, +/3) used to produce a cosmetic tan. Regular tanning beds use several fluorescent lamps that have phosphor blends designed to emit UV in a spectrum that is somewhat similar to the sun. Smaller, home tanning beds usually have 12 to 28 100 watt lamps while systems found in salons can run from 24 to 60 lamps, each consuming 100 to 200 watts.There are also high pressure tanning beds that generate primarily UVA with some UVB by using highly specialized quartz lamps, reflector systems and filters. These are much more expensive, thus less commonly used. A tanning booth is quite similar to a tanning bed, but the individual stands while tanning and the typical power output of booths is higher.

Marketing and Advertising your Tanning Salon

In order to guarantee your success in the tanning business you must have solid marketing and advertising plans. This will also be a very big part of whether or not your business is able to obtain the funding required from investors if this is how you plan to fund your new business.

Our first recommendation is starting a website. Based on your budget, this doesn't have to be anything fancy. The website should have your logo, mapped directions to your location, phone number, and any current promotions you are running. Be sure to list the state, county, and surrounding cities in text on your website as well as all services and products you offer. Submitting this website to search engines will be beneficial and in time may bring leads for your business. If you're interested in perfecting this aspect of your business you should research search engine optimization and search engine marketing.

Second, you will want your business listed in the yellow pages and any popular local classified ads. Make sure you purchase a larger ad than just a listing if your advertisement budget allows you too. Larger advertisements always attract more attention. Your ad should focus on why customers should immediately choose your salon over the other ones listed in the same area or perhaps even offer a coupon of substantial value. Remember, if someone feels comfortable tanning at your salon they will return.

Radio advertisement is also an excellent way to increase the popularity. Whether you are purchasing a commercial or actually have the radio station broadcast from your location you will be instantly reaching thousands of listeners. This is often much cheaper than television advertisement and truly reaches people in your community.

Making arrangements with local businesses is a great way to network. Small shops often place each other's flyers or advertisements on each other's sales counters to share their wealth of traffic. As long as you don't sell the same service or products there can be no harm in advertising with each other. If your business neighbors are friendly speak with management and see if this can be arranged.

During a grand opening it is often cost effective to flyer local subdivisions to try to jumpstart the business. Aside from the cost of paper and ink, a little leg work can definitely generate some business and open people's eyes to how convenient the distance to your location is.

Each of the methods detailed in this article should be locally priced and researched to make sure it is cost effective for your tanning salon and has an acceptable return on investment. Prior to your business opening, your business you should have many ideas in place.
