Future Franchise Owner,

I would like to thank you for your interest in The TAN Company. My name is Todd Beckman and I am the President, CEO and founder of The TAN Company.  I became an entrepreneur in 1984 when I purchased a hair salon franchise at the age of eighteen. Two years later, I had my first introduction into the tanning industry when I added tanning equipment. As the public’s desire to have a healthy glow grew strong, so did the popularity of tanning salons. In 1994, I made the decision to focus my efforts entirely on the tanning side of my business and I opened The TAN Company. Our growth was rapid and our success is still strong. What began as an “add-on” to a hair salon, has grown to over 65 independent, single-focus tanning salons operating in 11 states! We are experiencing the fastest growth in the history of our company!

With equipment continually changing and skin care products improving every year, it is imperative to stay informed. It is only as an expert can you satisfy the desires of current and future tanners. One of the most valuable benefits to owning a TAN Company franchise is our expertise in this industry. We monitor trends, continually test new products, and keep you aware of even the smallest of details to ensure your success.  Because we have already overcome obstacles and learned from our mistakes, you don’t have to face unnecessary challenges when beginning your own entrepreneurship.

We have achieved our level of success only through the efforts of the outstanding corporate team who I am proud to make available to my franchisees. Five of the individuals on our corporate staff own at least one TAN Company franchise location. Because of this, we all have a personal stake in the future of this company and are constantly looking for ways to improve.  Our entire corporate team, the majority of whom started in our tanning salons, is made up of individuals who have a desire for perfection, a determination to succeed and a dedication to this company that is unmatched at any other company in America.

When you invest in The TAN Company you gain much more than a business, you become a part of The TAN Company family. There is a saying that you can’t choose your family, but I must disagree. Our family – our franchisees as well as our corporate staff - has been carefully selected to ensure our future success. We make sure that every member of our family has what it takes to help The TAN Company reach the highest levels of success.

I have worked hard to get where I am in my life. My next goal is to make The TAN Company the #1 tanning franchise in the nation. Are you ready?
Give me a call and let's take the next step together.

Sincerely,
Todd Beckman

Why Franchise? Be In Business For Yourself, Not By Yourself.* Franchising provides a business model and system to help you build your future. The combination of driven small businesses with the experience of a large company creates a rewarding partnership. By opening a franchise, you benefit from a proven system with years of experience without suffering the many pitfalls new businesses endure. Why not benefit from a system that works hard for you? • IFA (International Franchise Association) statistics show over 767,000 franchise businesses contribute to the U.S. economy. • Franchises provide over 9.8 million jobs with a payroll of over $229 billion. • According to the IFA, statistics show that 95% of franchise operations succeed, while at least four out of every five independent businesses fail before their third year.** Quick and Easy Start-Up • Nationwide chains are more recognized by lenders than private businesses, creating more accessible financing. • The TAN Company builds on the franchise model. • A successful system with years of experience • An ongoing training program covering tanning memberships, employee certification, sales & marketing techniques, management methods, software, product knowledge and more. • By taking advantage of mass buying power, our franchisees benefit by buying more for less, ultimately increasing the bottom line. • Powerful advertising support • Choice of single location or multiple-unit locations to qualified franchise applicants These are a few reasons it makes sense to join a winning team— The TAN Company Team! We’ve found success in converting existing salons into Tan Company franchises. The TAN Company® is looking for entrepreneurs, such as yourself, that know what it takes to be successful in this industry. If you have ever found yourself wondering what it takes to become more successful each and every year, then The TAN Company is ready to help you achieve the success you desire. Whether you are just starting out, or are an established salon, you will gain immediate advantages when you convert to a Tan Company franchise. Several existing, large companies, as well as individual salon owners, have already joined The TAN Company® family. They recognized the extraordinary benefits of The TAN Company; a system and brand that can take an individual salon operator to greater volumes and stronger operations.
