How to Have Your Own Tanning Salon FranchiseBy Kristie Brown
If you’re interested in a franchise investment opportunity but aren’t sure what kind of franchise to invest in, consider investing in a tanning salon franchise. Since many people equate beauty with having a rich, tropical tan, but are either concerned about lengthy sun exposure or don’t have the time to “work” on their tan in the sun, tanning salons are very popular and tanning salon franchise opportunities is growing.
For a tanning salon franchise, your main responsibility in starting your business is finding a location for it and purchasing equipment. Unlike food franchise opportunities, the main investment for a tanning salon franchise is up front in major equipment purchases, like tanning beds and other tanning equipment.
Choosing a Tanning Franchise Opportunity
There are many different opportunities for tanning salon franchising and many companies who are looking to expand through franchising. To select a franchise opportunity that’s right for you, you need to decide how much you want to invest, how “hands on” you want the parent company to be, and how much time and energy you’re willing to put into marketing and promotion.
Some tanning companies who offer franchise opportunities will provide you with everything from advertising and promotion techniques to sales techniques to pricing strategies, while other companies will let you work out the promotion and marketing yourself. If you are adept at marketing and promotion and enjoy devising sales plans, then a company that gives you more autonomy is probably for you.
The current primary growth in tanning salon franchises is in sunless tanning and specialized UV tanning, so make sure you select a company who recognizes growth areas and is committed to providing cutting-edge service. If a company does not recognize the future of the industry, even if they’re currently making good profits, their shortsightedness does not bode well for their longevity.
Some tanning companies may offer financing for their investments, and some may not. Decide if financing is a necessity before you invest, and research if the company you are interested in will help with your financing if you need them to.
Your Investment Cost
A tanning salon franchise is available at a wide range of prices. Some franchises may require as little total investment as $50,000 to $80,000 with $15,000 - $35,000 required in liquid capital. Other, “higher-end” franchises can require up to $770,000 with $250,000 required in liquid capital. How much you want to spend on your investment will probably determine what franchising opportunities are available to you.
Researching Tanning Salon Franchise Opportunities
The best thing to do if you’re interested in investing in a tanning salon franchise is to research, research, and research. There are quite a few websites that give information on franchising, and are good jumping-off points to research individual companies in-depth. Once you identify some tanning companies that seem like a good fit for you, send away to the company for more complete information on what they expect of their franchisees, the total investment necessary, and location opportunities. Make sure you investigate several different tanning companies so you can make an informed decision before parting with your money.
