Keep the balance in front of them
A regular who has gone quiet is easier to win back than a new customer is to find. See who has not booked for a while and message them before the habit fades.

Running a tanning salon
Tanning is a membership business dressed as an appointment business. The income comes from blocks of minutes and monthly plans. A salon relying on walk-in singles is running the same shop with a fraction of the certainty.
Minutes are the unit, not visits
Sell time in blocks, keep the minutes left on the customer record and tell her the number every visit. A customer who knows she has forty minutes left comes back to use them. A customer who has forgotten what she bought does not. The salon keeps the money once and loses the habit for good.
Monthly memberships collected automatically are the most stable income in the trade, because they remove the weekly decision about whether to come in at all. That decision is the thing you are really competing against in November.
The tanning year and what should be selling in it
| Part of the year | What the shop looks like | What should be selling |
|---|---|---|
| January and February | Steady, driven by winter holidays and new year intent | Monthly and annual plans while the intent is at its highest |
| March to May | The busiest stretch, everybody building a base | Large minute blocks and course upgrades |
| June and July | Peaks hard around holidays then falls away | Top-up packages and accelerators |
| August and September | The quietest weeks of the whole year | Renewals, referrals and the lamp replacement schedule |
| October to December | Occasion driven, parties and events | Gift cards and January memberships bought in advance |
The quiet late summer is when the beds should be serviced and the tubes changed, because a customer on a course notices a tired lamp long before the shop does.
What a tanning salon loses without ever noticing
- Minutes sold and never used, which feels like profit and is actually a customer who has stopped coming
- A membership that has been failing to collect for two months on an expired card
- Lamp hours run past their rated life, so sessions take longer and the results get worse
- A package that expired the week before she came in to use it
- Age verification done by eye on a busy Saturday and recorded nowhere at all
Compliance here is part of the operation, not paperwork
Allowing anybody under eighteen to use a sunbed is a criminal offence in England, Wales and Scotland. The responsibility sits with the operator rather than with the customer who lied about her age. Verification has to be recorded against the customer rather than remembered by whoever happened to be on the desk.
Skin type and session history matter for the same reason. A record of what type was assessed, what sessions were taken and at what intervals protects both of you if anything is ever questioned. It is what stops a new member being sold twelve minutes on her first day.
Unstaffed hours make both of those harder rather than easier. If the shop runs on a code and a card reader, the system itself has to be the thing that knows who has been verified, what they bought and how many minutes they have already used.
What a well run tanning salon does
- Sells minutes in blocks and keeps the minutes left on the customer record
- Tells the customer how many minutes are left every visit
- Collects monthly memberships automatically and chases a failed collection
- Prompts a top-up before the minutes run out, not after
- Records age verification against the customer rather than in somebody's memory
- Keeps skin type and session history per person
- Schedules lamp replacement against hours run rather than by guesswork
Built for tanning salons
Each of these sits in the same account, so a booking, its payment and the client record stay together.
Online session booking
Spray tans and sunbed sessions booked online, with your opening hours and session lengths.
Memberships with member pricing
Sell a monthly membership through Stripe that takes a percentage off every session the member books.
Card payments up front
Take payment or a deposit when the session is booked, so the spray room is not held for nobody.
Over 18 checks at booking
Set a minimum age of 18 and bookings without a qualifying date of birth are refused, online and at the desk.
Automated reminders
Remind clients before a spray tan, so they arrive exfoliated and without moisturiser on.
Client history and consent
Skin type questionnaires and signed consent forms kept on the client record.
