Keep ur chin up! This is a very quite time of year for spray tanning. But in a couple of weeks the parties will be upon us, and you will be busier. Just keep positive and carry on promoting. It will improve.
Watch this space and don't give up!!!:hug:

Just noticed your in Shropshire too!!

Did your course not cover how to market you business and ideas for promotion?

Try booking a few christmas fayres at a school and offering just a face spray, this got me quite a few new clients in the early days.

Arrange to go and do some talks at mother and toddler groups, slimming clubs, ladies clubs. Target some dance schools, morris dancing troupes, gyms. The list is endless, the business is there if you are willing to push for it. But... as Steve said this is a fairly quiet time of year for spray tanning.

Oooops, sorry it was Dawn

It might be the quiet season but there are still loads you can do.

Have you thought about Spray Tan Parties? Everyone likes a good night in during the winter months, get the girlfriends round and a few bottles of wine and you can have a great time and a spray tan to boot. Why dont you host one to get started, invite all your friends, relatives, neighbours, tell them all to bring a friend. You generally only get 1 in 4 people invited turning up. On the night offer a free gift to anyone booking a party for themselves. Try and get 2 party bookings at each party. Offer incentives to encourage bookings.

Good luck
