Step 01Diversify your services
The tanning industry is extremely competitive. Many tanning businesses struggle to keep up, and some fail simply because they lack an effective strategy. The salons that compete best host a variety of complementary services.
Diversifying tends to increase sales, because people interested in tanning are also interested in other services that help them look and feel better.
Add the new service the right way. Learn your customers' needs first, and you will introduce and market the new service effectively, for a higher return on your investment.
Step 02Retain existing clients
Your tanning customers likely want more than one beauty and health service. When your salon does not offer them, they visit other businesses to get them.
Successful salons learn from their customers, add the services they ask for, and keep their clientele. Do you know how many of your customers are looking for services you don't provide?
Step 03Attract new clients
Offer an exciting new service. In a competitive industry, failing to add new services hurts a business and its brand, and many tanning salons have added cryotherapy to stay competitive.
Create new marketing packages. A new service means new packages, email campaigns, social posts and web pages, and new keywords on your pages can bring new traffic from search engines.
Promote it on social media. Followers tire of the same posts. Post about your new cryotherapy service, explain what it is, and invite clients to try it.
Find people already looking for cryotherapy. Join cryotherapy, fitness and athletics groups online, invite interested people to your salon, and answer questions on Q&A sites such as Quora to build your brand.
Step 04Educate your customers
Help your customers get a better tan. Tanning beds alone don't offer the best tanning results, and our tanning salon partners often report that their customers have enhanced the quality of their tan by complementing it with a cryotherapy session.
