Strong systems providing quick client support

Successful salons always put the client first. The TAN Company® has built its business, reputation and future upon treating the client better than any other tanning salon. Offering an overall experience that is second to none in the tanning industry.

As a franchisee of The TAN Company, you and your team are provided the training to meet these high standards and the marketing tools to help both build and fulfill the client’s expectation. You will learn how to determine the client needs, how to help them acquire the tan they want, and how to build a client relationship based upon knowledge, performance and satisfaction.

The TAN Company system encourages long-term client loyalty. Clients are accustomed to cleanliness, to great beds, to friendly sales people, and professional assistance with their lotion choices and building a great looking tan.

Management oversight and review

Once you are awarded a franchise, you really are “in business for yourself, not by yourself”. Through participation in the operation of the salon, conversations with your people and The TAN Company team, and general observation you will form opinions of what is happening, how your sales are shaping up and whether the business is growing the way you planned.

But you can’t be there all the time. At least not in person. The TAN Company’s state-of-the-art POS and management systems support remote monitoring of your business from your home or off-site office. Not only can you see what is happening in the computer system, you can also monitor the location through remote video feeds.

Seeing what is happening, and knowing how it impacts your salon’s business is an integral part of the owner training provided in St. Louis prior to opening. On-going support from the franchise operations team further support your efforts to optimize salon sales performance and increase profitability.
