ecently, a poll was conducted in the Tanning Salon Owners Network on Facebook. The group itself has over 4,000 members, and 112 salon owners responded. The question was straightforward: What tanning salon software do you use? Although answers were somewhat varied, the pattern was crystal clear. Once the votes were in, it became obvious that most salons are running on strategy, not sticky notes, files, and memory. Only a tiny fraction reported using no software at all, while the overwhelming majority rely on a dedicated tanning salon system every single day. In other words, a few owners are still winging it. Most have built their salon around, or incorporated, software that tracks, protects, and grows their business. The difference matters.
