Hello Everyone
I have just found this site and I hope you guys can help me? I took over a tanning salon in October 09 ( I bought it right in a middle of a recession! crazy?) It is a small shop with 5 really good stand up sunbeds. I am trying to change it into a tanning and beauty salon. I already have a girl who does the nails, I have introduced spray tanning and now I am trying to get the beauty side up and running. I employ a beautician on a Friday and Saturday, but I am finding it hard to pay her wages as I am not making the money to cover the stock and the beautician. I am finding it harder than I thought to market the salon as everything costs money and I am on a really tight budget. The local newspaper costs a fortune. I really want to put my salon out there as a great tanning and beauty salon. Does anyone have any good marketing ideas that they have done for their own salon and it works? The girl I have taken on is great at threading and I am trying to market this, but it's educating people on what threading is and I think people read it and get scared!
Any help would be much appreciated. Does anyone also know where I can get a new sign for outside the shop on a tight budget. The one I have is naff. It looks very 80's!
Thanks everyone
Joanne
