Early heat waves led to a decline in the number of sunbed sessions taken during these periods, but the following wet weather in August meant those who had a taste for a tan made their way back to their high street salon. The onset of Autumn now offers immense business opportunities, with Joe Public having returned from their oversees holidays, the kids are back at school, the nights are drawing in, and people are looking to maintain the feeling of wellness gained during those two precious weeks away. Your clients, and any potential new clients, need to be reminded that they still deserve some ‘me’ time now that they’re back home. It’s also a time when they are likely to have the least financial commitments; the holiday has been paid for but Christmas still seems too far away for any significant early spending. It’s your job, as a salon owner or manager, to capitalise on this. Of course you need to offer quality treatments that deliver results. However, you also need to market these in the right way. Clients will not wander through your doors uninvited, nor will they be aware of the treatments you are offering if you don’t advertise them. How you choose to promote your services is down to the individual salon; it will be dictated by what treatments you offer, what your marketing budget is, what your profit margins are and what advertising medium is available to you. A great mistake made by many small business owners is taking the skills involved in marketing lightly. Unless you take this seriously you will waste money and put your livelihood in jeopardy. If you are unsure about marketing - and to many people this is a very daunting area - why not enrol on a course aimed at small business owners and take a positive step towards boosting your business. Best wishes [ business2business ] INTRODUCING beauty uk 2007 The industry’s newest beauty trade event has been officially launched, with the name Beauty UK 2007.

According to Graham Partridge of Alliance and General Leasing, too many businesses forget about working capital and think about the easiest way to seemingly ‘own’ the equipment. “If you look at this problem from a different angle, the answer becomes abundantly clear,” he says. “Once you have this new piece of equipment, what will it do for your business? If you are anticipating selling three treatments per day, six days per week using this new piece of equipment then the best way to purchase it is through a lease agreement.” For more information on Alliance and General Leasing visit www.allianceandgeneral.co.uk.

TANNING WORLD VISIT: WWW.FHT.org.uk 19 [ VERTICAL TANNING ] [ VERTICAL TANNING ] “Vertical converts love the sensation of stand-up tanning . . . ” VIVA VERTICAL! by Sibby Macbain Why your clients love VTU’s... Sunquest’s Aurora has been designed for a comfortable, cool tanning experience ertical tanning units came into being in the 1970’s, allowing a generation of indoor tanners the freedom to choose. Sunless tanning was in its infancy and many products on the market produced more of an orange effect than the golden bronzes of today. Indoor tanning was hugely popular and being brown was in, so it’s no surprise that the VTU was born in this decade of new innovations and changing ideas. V beds, enhancing their capacity, and the wider choice of VTUs now available means that there are products to suit most spaces,” she explains. “The key is to select the right VTU for the space and for the salon’s customer profile, and to buy from a supplier who will offer a high level of service, before and after purchase.” If you are worried about finances and feel you can’t afford to invest in new tanning equipment, why not think about leasing? According to Graham Partridge of Alliance & General Leasing, too many businesses forget about working capital and think about the easiest way to seemingly own the equipment they want. “In today’s business climate, saving up for major purchases is not really an option. Banks are all too willing to offer finance to fund business purchases but they are the first to withdraw their helping hand at any sign of trouble. Leasing is cost effective, allows you Tanners who chose to go vertical liked the freedom to move about - 70’s customers were even known to disco tan, listening to the latest tunes and dancing along during a session! From a salon’s point of view, VTU’s had the great advantage of taking up less space - meaning smaller salons could still make big profits. Tansun’s Marketing manager Lyn Parsons says that VTUs can help to make the available space work harder. “Typically, a salon can deploy three VTUs in the space required for two lie-down 20 TANNING WORLD to release the working capital of the business and can keep your business up to date with the latest technology at an affordable cost.” Traditionally leasing was overlooked by many business owners as an expensive way of paying for equipment. Now these same people are realising that by standardising their business costs and releasing the working capital of their business they are making the agreement work for them and not for the bank manager.

Of course, I’ve also witnessed the unsuccessful shops. No one can guarantee you complete success but a little knowledge can go a long way to help you achieve your goal. I have put together a series of questions that we frequently get asked by the salon operator. Q What sort of tanning equipment should I buy? The key is to offer a variety of vertical and lie down equipment; this then caters for all types of customers. Some people prefer vertical tanning, the majority of this equipment is operated with high wattage 200-235w lamps and control gear. This type of bed appeals to people with a busy lifestyle, who want a short session with quick results. They can take the session in their lunch break; it’s easier to keep clean and as the session times are short, more customers can utilise the unit, which means more profit! Lie down sunbeds are for the customer who wants a more relaxing session. They can still get quick results, so a 160w lie down is more suitable for this purpose. There are various manufacturers and plenty of choice, and there are different financial packages also on offer from various companies. Q What lamps should I use? This question is one of the most common and causes lots of confusion. There are various lamps in the market place from the cheaper branded lamp to the high quality lamp - each company will tell you that their particular lamp is best, so it’s really easy to get confused. At UVL, we would advise that to get good quality with a good price the key is to buy a well known brand from a recognised manufacturer. In order to supply the right lamp for your sunbed, we would check what lamps and equipment you are currently using. We would then advise you accordingly on the best options for your salon and how to increase turnover in your area. 30 Q How often should I retube? Sunbed manufacturers will use the lamp manufacturers specified hours which can range from 500-1200 hours depending on the lamp quality. Most machines have an hour counter, so it’s relatively easy to monitor the usage. Dependant on the type of the bed and the lamp used, your supplier should advise on an individual basis. Q What do I say to people who are worried about skin cancer? You need to show customers that you care about them and their skin. Become a member of The Sunbed Association, get their seal of approval and then you can advertise that you are a member. This will show your customers that you are part of a well-established organisation. new catalogue out september 2006 Tanning produces vitamin D which helps to boost the immune system and can help to relieve the pain of osteoporosis, arthritis, and rheumatism. Some doctors believe it can help prevent breast and colon cancers. Plus it makes you look good and feel great! Keep records on your customers and ensure that they are tanning sensibly. If you have younger customers, ask for ID to ensure that they are of the correct age - this will give your salon a good reputation. The press like to sell papers. However the real story is that sensible tanning is good for you and that is the key. Q What about creams, there are so many to choose from? Q How can I make my salon different? artistry : beautician’s own uniform : Simon Jersey There are some fantastic ranges available and it is important to have a good selection. If you haven’t used them before, purchase sachets only, see which ones sell the best and then purchase bottles if you need to. However it is important to remember cream can go off after a period of time. Make a tanning session into an experience. Everyone likes to be pampered and treated well. Offer a comfortable seating area with hot and cold drinks to customers while they wait for an available sunbed. Have plenty of reading material. If you use a reputable supplier, they should provide free marketing material including ‘sensible tanning’ brochures, which will help inform your customers on how to tan sensibly. If your customers enjoy the experience, they will tell their friends and they’ll keep coming back - word of mouth is the best advertisement anyone can wish for. 10% To claim off your first order • Call 0870 111 8800 • Request your catalogue quoting PO49 • Receive your catalogue in the post • Call 0870 111 8800 and place an order* • Automatically receive your 10% discount The new 316-page Simon Jersey catalogue is available now and is packed full of stylish, comfortable and practical ideas to meet your uniform requirements.

Of course, the quality of the product you choose is important, but perhaps more so is the ability of your tanning technicians to deliver a perfect, even colour that clients will love and to have great advice on the tips of their tongues. ven if you are investing in a spray booth rather than a manual airbrush system, your staff still need to be confident in advising customers on how to stand in the booth, how to apply barrier cream, and how best to maintain their tan, among other things. Of course, with airbrush tanning, making a client come back for more will often depend on how good you or your spray tan technician are at your job. Fortunately, most companies offer in-house training or you can benefit from a DVD or CD Rom that gives you expert advice and takes you through the spraying process specific to your chosen system. E “During training it is very important that you can see your results to gauge how well your technique is developing,” says Geraldine Carter, Managing Director of Heavenly Bodies. “Your technique has got to involve the finished result otherwise it’s like applying makeup in the dark - you have no idea what you are doing! Do set training time aside, not only to spray, but to examine the results the next day.” Heavenly Bodies have produced a training video/dvd with a proven routine that they find works extremely well. Geraldine does believe however that spray tanning is an unusually artistic discipline of beauty therapy where individuals do develop their own technique. “Provided you get first class results with good repeat business you are doing a good job,” she comments.
