Melissa Dennis Editor, Tanning World The finalists of Britain’s Next Top Model have taken part in an exclusive photoshoot for who are struggling right now, I have also encountered those who say that they are sustaining their business by the way they have marketed their tanning services. You may have a sense of uncertainly about investing in marketing, but planning well and allocating your spend to just the advertisements that you know will work, is sensible and necessary. When new customers walk through your doors, ask them how they heard about you. When someone calls for information, check where they got your number from. Is it your website that’s driving business, or the advertisement that you place in your local paper? If you are experiencing difficult times, is it because you are not spending money on advertising? It’s a clichè, but you do have to speculate to accumulate. If potential new clients don’t know you exist, or previous clients have forgotten about you, how are you ever going to drive them through your doors? Best wishes, STIRLING SHOOT FOR BNTM take our eye of the ball for the coming years.” ABT Director Dave Horton adds: “ABT has further expanded its staff base for the third time this year with the appointment of Tracey Board. Adding Tracey to the team is another important step in maintaining the exceptional level of customer service we currently provide.” TANNING WORLD 7 [ business2business ] SIMON SAYs . . .

To prevent this from happening, Mark Bird of Helionova Ltd has the following advice: “Before you look at the equipment itself, check out the supplier! Do they offer good back up service? Are they a reliable company? How long have they been in business? There are many companies out there that will supply you with equipment but cannot offer any sort of back up or after sales service.” return for those salons whose session prices are currently linked to the number of minutes. Another useful piece of advice would be to check that your insurance covers you for ‘Treatment Risk’. This essentially means So why choose vertical? “One of the main advantages of using a VTU is that they offer an all over seamless tan,” says Mark Bird of Helionova Ltd. “Sometimes using a lay down sunbed can result in pressure points on your back and white arm pits. Due to the nature of how you stand in a VTU (legs apart and that you have the appropriate level of cover should a client receive injuries from your UV tanning equipment and subsequently seek compensation.

Similarly, if you’re looking to offer your clients an entirely different tanning experience, there are some VTU’s which have an integrated vibrating plate, so your clients can lose weight and tone up while they achieve a beautiful, seamless tan.

FACT: Everybody who uses sunbeds wants and expect to get brown legs... FACT: Legs are the hardest part of the body to tan as they naturally exfoliate quicker than the rest of the body and are considerably drier, requiring constant moisturising... FACT: Vertical sunbeds may not tan legs evenly because gas in the UV tubes rises to the middle and top. FACT: Leg Tanners are a proven method of producing beautiful even tanned legs quickly. FACT: Leg Tanners provide fantastic additional income and raise your salon image above that of your competitors. FACT: Leg Tanners are affordable...and don’t always require special wiring (they plug into a normal plug socket).

TESTIMONIAL: Since installing TanTrack last year we have seen a dramatic increase in business and profitability. TanTrack has not only delivered more control over the business but has been at the forefront of providing our team with the confidence and systems to sell more profitability. As salon owners the extra reporting features have proved to be invaluable, enabling us to analyse our business more effectively, maximise productivity and empower us to manage the growth and development of our business. There is no doubt that in our opinion TanTrack, with its ease of use, will be the cornerstone of all our future salons. - “The Tanning Cabin” The main priority when designing the sunroom was to prevent customers from feeling claustrophobic. This is why when the twin tanning area doors are open, you have one of the largest, and most spacious, changing rooms of any vertical tanning machine on the market and when closed, a tanning area you can move around in. The standard design of a Stratz Sunroom is 7’ x 4’ with a door on the front. But if you choose to purchase direct from the factory, they can, within reason, alter your sunroom to suit almost any situation, i.e. open-ended with no changing room with a size of 5’ x 4’ or with an angle on the changing room, also the door can be situated on any side and opening left or right. The design of the Sunroom also allows easy service access from inside the room, which is great if space is at a premium, as it means that the Sunroom can be positioned right next to a wall or to each other. Finally, the new Alpha Cab, available from Legacy Leg Tanners, is sure to give your clients a buzz, as it comes equipped with its own ‘Vibro Plate’ which the customer can control with their toes to tone the body whilst getting a golden tan. Vibro training has become a popular way for people to tone up and lose weight at gyms throughout the USA and now the UK, so by combining tanning and toning together you have a fantastic new product to offer your clients. 131 For more information circle enquiry card The tanning area in a Stratz Sunroom is a precision manufactured all steel construction for strength and safety. The outside is manufactured out of high-density caber panels, which conform to the British Standard No. 5669. All the electrical components are situated to the rear of the sunroom making the sunroom doors very light to open and close. *Terms and conditions: Offer ends 31st October 2008.

Gill Morris explains costs & profits It is straightforward to see if your business is profitable; add up everything that being in business costs you over a set period of time then work out what your business delivers in terms of income over that same period of time. Take your outgoing costs from your incoming monies and what is left is profit, unless of course it’s a minus figure then it’s a loss. or re-invest into the business, and certainly before you can take any money out of the business. So you need to take £13.16 per hour across each money-making area just to pay your fixed costs. Recognising and understanding your fixed What are your fixed costs per annum, what is that per month and when is payment due? Now you all know this, you all know how to do this, most of you even do this but owners and managers can still get in a mess. Example of Fixed Costs Fixed costs A fixed cost is a cost to your business which stays the same, or fixed, regardless of the level of client activity. These costs, which include wages, rent, rates and all overheads, have to be accounted for and paid whether the salon is busy, quiet, open or closed. Generally fixed costs change only slightly and remain fairly constant apart from any one-off increases like a rent increase. Fixed costs as well as being a fixed amount are normally due for payment at fixed times of the month, quarter or year so they should be easy costs to plan your payment for. Unfortunately a lot of business owners don’t have a financial plan or budget and therefore don’t set aside money for these fixed costs and this is one of the causes of cash flow difficulties, i.e. the salon is taking and making money but there isn’t enough ‘in the kitty’ to pay the bills at certain times when a lot of bills come in at once. It is of fundamental importance that you know what your fixed costs are for the year and it’s this figure which can be referred to as your ‘fixed cost base’. Your business and its overall performance needs to take enough money to pay those costs before you can make any profit costs is vitally important as whatever you are trying to achieve is unlikely to be financially successful unless you have it clear in your mind what these costs are and budget for them. Salaries & wages................................£75,000 Rent & Rates .....................................£24,000 Heating & Lighting .............................. £1,200 Telephone & Postage ......................... £1,200 Accounting & Computing Services .......£1,000 Insurance .......................................... £1,000 Other Outgoings ................................£10,296 Total per annum............................£113,696 When you have added everything together that is a fixed cost, you then need to work out what it costs you to be in business every month, every week, every day and even every hour. This information is vital when it comes to working out your treatment fees and if the treatments you offer are profitable. For example, a salon is open 48 weeks out of the 52 each year, 10 hours a day, six days a week and has three treatment areas: two sunbeds and a spray booth. The number of hours that the example salon is open for is timed by the number of ‘money making areas’ giving the following sum to enable you to work out how much each area has to take per hour to cover the fixed costs: The three areas are each available to make money 10 hours each day, six days a week over 48 weeks of the year: 3 x 10 x 6 x 48 = 8,640 hours Fixed costs = £113,696 divided by 8,640 = £13.16 per hour. Variable costs Once you have a clear understanding of your fixed costs, you then need to investigate your variable costs. A variable cost is a cost which changes or varies, according to the number of treatments carried out. Variable costs are those costs made up of all the products and consumable items used in the carrying out of a treatment or service. The price of these goods needs to be deducted from the treatment sales price (remembering to take it from the net price not gross price if VAT registered) when working out how profitable a treatment is. The treatment sales price is considered as the money coming into the business from each treatment completed, and from that the ‘variable costs’ are the first costs to be deducted i.e. spray tan solution. The second costs to be deducted are the fixed costs accrued during the time it took for the treatment to be given (based on your fixed costs calculations), and therefore how much that particular treatment contributed to paying your ‘fixed cost base’.

TANNING WORLD 29 [ RETAIL: SUNLESS TANNING ] SELL THE SUN [ RETAIL: SUNLESS TANNING ] ith the summer months behind us and the golden holiday tans quickly disappearing, it’s time for your clients to start thinking about how they can recreate that long lost summer glow throughout the dull winter months. W Sunless tanning products are increasing in popularity with every year that passes us by. According to the latest research from Mintel Global New Products Database (GNPD): “Britain is the number one place for launches of self-tanners. Last year, over 60 were launched in the UK alone and 300 self-tanning products across Europe as a whole.” With such a high demand for the most popular products, it makes sense that your salon should be stocking an array of tanning products for your clients to purchase. By offering some of the most popular products you could really see an increase in your profits. Natalie Roche, Managing Director of Skin Solutions Ltd, the UK distributors of Xen Tan, points out how stocking products with a good following can help to increase sales and salon profits: “Not only is buying an optimum product important, it’s also very important that the company you buy it from invests in brand building and marketing support that will ultimately help you sell the product to your customers. It’s therefore important Hollywood celebrities have been seen as the leaders of the that the brand you sell is regularly featured in magazines, has a trend and with many products on the market being endorsed by great celebrity following and is advertised and endorsed by well known names, the public always seem to be curious as to beauty editors in the most sought after titles.” what celebrities are doing, how they look and what beauty products they are using. by Donna Taylor Stock up When it comes to tapping into this profit increasing market, choosing what products to stock in your salon requires a lot of As well as following a trend, people are attracted to sunless thought.

The first tanning lotion was introduced to the sunless tanning market in the 1960s and since then has developed in many ways With so many different types of self tan products available on the market nowadays, from the tried and trusted lotions right through to mousses, gels and, more recently, spray tans that can be used at home, it can be difficult to know where to even “These products are now also becoming more sophisticated as many offer benefits, such as firming, which will make them appeal to more people,” says Alexandra Richmond, Senior Beauty Analyst at Mintel. Self-tanning products work in a simple way and all use the same main ingredient - dihydroxyacetone (DHA). DHA is what turns the skin a golden brown colour through its interaction with the amino acid, arginine, found in surface skin cells. Different products contain different amounts of DHA and the more a self-tanner contains, the quicker it browns the skin. DHA is what gives a self-tan product it’s distinctive smell as it develops, but some companies have found ways of masking the smell as best they can. begin looking for products to stock in your salon. Xen Tan have taken note of how products are developing and growing all the time and have therefore launched a range that incorporates several different types of self tan, offering something to suit everyone. Their range includes a lotion, mousse and a mist. Xen Tan is clinically developed to overcome the drawbacks normally associated with self-tanning products, including the smell that puts so many people off. The fruity scent of Xen Tan is a welcome relief to the smell of traditional formulations. Their products have been formulated with olive-undertones; leaving the skin with a natural, not orange, glow. Going back to the beginning, lotions were the very first selftanning product to be introduced into the sunless tanning market and are still going strong today. 30 TANNING WORLD TANNING WORLD 31 70 152 For more information circle enquiry card For more information circle enquiry card 154 For more information circle enquiry card Are you paying too much for Technical Service on your Tanning Equipment? www.sunbedrepairs.com TANNING TECHNICAL SERVICES 0845 094 4053 32 TANNING WORLD He-Shi also carries a gel-tanning product for the face within the He-Shi applicator mitt and ensures an ultra-smooth finish. their sunless tanning range.

The sun was worshipped as far back as ancient Egypt Coco Chanel may not have started the tanning craze “All cultures on earth have worshipped the sun at some point in their history. When Amenophis IV became pharaoh, he pledged his exclusive allegiance to the Aten, ‘the bright Disc of the day.’ He no doubt believed fervently in the divinity of the sun, but he also appears to have been an enthusiastic sunbather. “Legend gives the credit for this to Coco Chanel, telling how she accidentally got tanned on a yacht, and started a craze overnight. Coco may have turned tanned skin into a fashion statement, but sunbathing and tanning had been practised and talked about for a good thirty years before that - just not in a form that was appropriate for the pages of Vogue, nor quite how we would recognize it today.” He spoke of how ‘the Aten shone on him in life and length of days, invigorating his body each day,’ betraying an appreciation of the physical, sensual and even aesthetic radiance it bestowed.” The sun is a popular commodity “In the UK Trademark Registry there are 497 registered trademarks using the sun as a symbol. There are 353 for the cross, 366 for the crown, and only 239 for the flag.” Tans were once considered unfashionable “Before the twentieth century those who could shunned the sun. The fashion was for delicately pale, nearly translucent skin; anything darker was decidedly déclassé. Only the poor were tanned - a bronzed skin betokened lives spent toiling under the elements. Their betters covered their bodies, pulled the curtains, and hid behind parasols and wide-brimmed hats. Like modernday Goths, they even used cosmetics to make their skin look or remain lighter. Vogue’s first British number from 1916 advertised Helena Rubinstein’s Valaze Cream. The ‘impurities’ it claimed to remove included ‘sunburn, freckles and discolouration.’ ‘Burn’ and ‘tan’ meant the same thing then, and ‘tanning’ referred to as the process of preparing leather. By the mid-20s this had changed. By then the poor had largely forsaken the fields for sunless factories and mines, allowing the genteel to do a complete volte-face.” Sunshine was originally prescribed as a medical cure “A hundred years ago sunbathing and tanning were only indulged in for health reasons, to cure or prevent diseases. In 1903 Dr Auguste Rollier opened the world’s first dedicated sun clinic, at Leysin high in the Swiss Alps. He was convinced that the pure air and bright sunlight could cure a variety of diseases. On arrival, Rollier’s patients didn’t just strip off and dive in like so many sun-starved Brits on the first day abroad. The gradual process of acclimatization took about two weeks, and only then were his patients allowed to dip their toes into the ‘sun baths’. One of the first British societies for social nudity was called the Sun Bathing Society, and there was also a British Sunbathing Association, and a National Sun and Air Society in these formative years. Most of the private grounds dedicated to clothes-free living were called ‘sun clubs’, clearly indicating the idol around which their activities resolved.” ...and was therefore sunbathing was a tricky business in the 1920s! “Before the 1930s there was no real distinction between ‘sunbathing’ and ‘nudism.’ Given what constituted acceptable and even ‘legal’ beachwear at the time, complete nudity and what is nowadays standard beachwear might just as well have been one and the same thing. A newspaper from May 1925 reports how Bournemouth was strenuously objecting to sunbathing on its beach. It pointed out how beach attendants had powers to prevent anyone sitting on the beach in their bathing costumes. Bathers must ‘walk straight into the sea and straight back into their bathing tents.’” The sun affects the way people spend “According to Jim Dale, a ‘risk meteorologist’ and founder of British Weather Services, ‘between 80 and 85 percent of purchasing decisions are weather related. It’s the biggest single factor affecting all sectors of the economy.’ It determines what we eat, what we wear, how we use our leisure time and where we are prepared to spend our precious holiday allocation. In a heatwave, absenteeism soars among indoor workers. In a washout, retail sales of many things plummet, and we retreat back under those hatches or flit off abroad.” England is perhaps the most obsessed with sunshine “The English are reputedly obsessed by the weather - you need only look around you. If the sky is blue and the sun is shining, people are more likely to be smiling, relaxed, at one with and more open to the world. If it’s raining, cold or overcast, they will huddle into themselves. You get a sense that if the sun appeared more often this land might be a little less green, but a good deal more pleasant. We’d bottle sunshine if we could.” It was not long before sunlight was being advocated not just to cure, but to prevent illness, and even to improve the health of the general population. This need was deemed to be particularly acute in England, the greatest and most polluted industrial centre in the world.” Sunbathing has long been associated with nudity... “The nudists were the first modern sun-worshippers, the first to embrace sunshine out of choice rather than medical necessity. For a long time ‘sunbather’ was pretty much a euphemism for nudist. A new book by Robert Mighall explores our obsession with sunshine . . . ‘Sunshine: One Man’s Search for Happiness’ by Robert Mighall is published by John Murray. 40 TANNING WORLD TANNING WORLD 41 [ new products ] Flower power Carole Franck’s SPF 30 Sun Cream with honey extract allows even the most sensitive skin types to have fun in the sun.
