How to manage a busy tanning Salon this Season!


As we get into the spring and summer months, here at Salon Tracker we know that there will be an increase in people desperate to get that pre summer tan. With this in mind we know that tanning salons and sunbed shops will be getting a large increase in customers in this time.  Due to this we decided to share with you our little tips and tricks on how to manage your tanning salon during these busy periods.

Online Booking
Online booking is a great feature to have in your salon, especially in these busier periods. As your customers are pre booking beds and are choosing what times they want to be going on, this means there will be a shorter wait time. This will make the busy tanning experience more enjoyable for both your customer and staff members. This is because customers will no longer have to wait ages for a bed whilst it will also mean staff are less stressed and will therefore be happier when they’re at work.

Wait List Feature
Having seamless waiting list feature being used in your salon will also help you and your staff manage these busy periods with a lot more ease. Salon Trackers waitlist feature has recently been improved where it will now show you how many people are waiting, what bed they’re waiting for and what order they came into the salon in. This will mean there will be no mix ups and people will no longer be able to queue jump or anything like that.

A New Look
Freshening up your salon in time for this busy period may just be what your salon needs. Changing the theme or even just doing a bit of spring cleaning may just be the thing to entice new customers in and help keep your regular customers coming back to your salon.  Adding things such as flowers and reed diffusers will help your salon feel fresh to customers and there is no better feeling than stepping out of a warm sunbed into a nice, fresh and relaxed room.  We especially like the ‘New York’ range from next, you can buy it here: https://www2.next.co.uk/g722013s24#625289


Site View
Salon Trackers site view is also a useful tool for salon owners to have over the summer. This feature helps salon owners keep an eye on their salon and its bookings. By having our site view feature this means you and your staff will be able to view appointments and their calendars from home. This means that even when you’re away from the salon you will still be able to ensure that everything is running smoothly and correctly.

Stocked Up
Even though this is a simple one, ensuring that all your tanning lotions and your drinks fridge is stocked up is another way you can easily keep your customers happy over this period whilst making a little extra money on the side.  Studies have shown that 71% of customers are more likely to buy something if it is on display when they enter a shop or salon. This means your salon can make a little bit of extra money with hardly any effort at all!
