hi

i have been spray tanning since end of aug and am still new to it all and still learning! i am mobile but am finding it a bit slow at the mo perhaps the time of year...waiting for the party season...and hope things will pick up!

as for advertising i ordered some business cards and postcards through vista print and handed them out to friends and people i no and that work in places with noticed boards i have put cards in local fish shop and newsagents. but to be honest with u its more word of mouth...i had a client through a friend that was so pleased with her tan she has booked a tanning party with me for 14 people....so goes to show word of mouth works!

insurance best to google beauty ins to research...i went with professional beauty at £49.50 without prescription of their mag which covers mobile spray tanning...this was recommended through a mobile beauty therapist of mine.

cant comment on the solution u are using as not used that one i trained with tantrick and use their solution which i love!

good luck with it all x

Thanks that was really helpfull im glad to know im not the only one who is completly new
Its very nerve racking at this stage, when you spray someone i be so nervous to see what they think. Ive got good comments so far apart from sometimes the feet can go to dark!
I handed out some leaflets too that i got made up, but yeah your right word of mouth is best. 14?? oh my...thats a big party, where are they all heading?
This might be a dumb question, but because i trained with bliss can i only buy products out of there mag? R can i buy other products like he-shi tan at salon prices? xxx

Hi, I just started in Aug and use 'the little pig' as well. That's a shame you aren't getting the aftercare you need, it does make things really difficult.
For insurance I went with Salon Gold they were cheapest I could find and were recommended by someone on here.
I haven't really advertised yet, and am getting roughly 7 clients a week (sometimes more, sometimes less) which is keeping me ticking over. I also built a free website on www.webs.com which has actually gotten me a couple of clients, but mainly it is all word of mouth - most of the mums at the nursery/school are my clients so they all see the results for themsleves. I am busy with the 3 kids (one of which is just 1yr old) so I just fit people in where I can.
I haven't used the whitetobrown so sorry can't really comment on it.
Good luck with everything, and there are always lots of geeks here to help :hug: xx

Hello, i am new to spray Tanning too! I trained with Dawn from Nouvatan (who is a lovely lady) and I got all my equipment and solutions off her.I have been doing it for about 6 weeks now and tanning around 6 clients a week.
I have had some business cards made up through saxoprint, you get 350 free just pay £6.50 delivery. but to be honest all my clients have come from word of mouth. Really hopin that I will get busy now xmas is on the way!
I too have a 2 year old and a 9 month old, Im so pleased i went into spray tanning as its great to fit around my children. I do evenings when my hubby is back from work and Im available for weekends as well.
I as well have gone with Salon Gold for my insurance, think it was £44 so quite cheap!

LOL seems there are a few of us juggling tanning with looking after little ones. It is brilliant for fitting around kids though as the treatments don't take too long to do. I allow for 1 person in the morning while lo is asleep. A lot of the time I have clients who come to me as a small group and all the kids play together and are looked after by the other parents. I also have clients in evenings as well. I prefer no distractions though, especially with new clients.
I use Vani-T and love it, I am lucky that I have a lovely rep although I do get tons of advice on here as well xx
