E-Books are big
business on the Internet these days. If you are not familiar with e-books,
they are simply books (usually less content than a printed book) that are
available for immediate download after purchase from a website. E-books are
great because they are easy to create, free to distribute and have a high
profit margin.
The tanning bed business is
expensive to get started, but can profitable. To be successful, you
will need to rent space that is located in a high traffic area with
available parking. The cost of tanning beds range from $750 to over
$8,000 each, depending on specifications. You can also look into
renting the beds until your business starts making a profit. You
want quality-tanning beds to avoid any legal issues, provide a
notable service, and have them last for years.
Before you get started, check local and federal codes and also
regulations governing tanning businesses. Once you have secured the
space, purchased the beds, and have purchased any necessary
insurance and advertising, you will have spent over $15,000 just to
get started. If you won't be able to man the shop your self, you
will have the expense of taking on staff.
Market yourself with newspaper ads, distribution of coupons, and a
nice yellow pages display ad. Have business cards and brochures
printed to pass out to prospective clients. You should have no
problem getting customers when you first open your doors. The
resulting word of mouth advertising will fuel their numbers.
Net earning for your tanning salon could be anywhere $5,000 to
$25,000 the first year. You should see your profit grow more each
year as you become established and your start up expenses are
recovered. Add to your income by selling tanning products, towels,
goggles, and other gear.
