Just less than 1-in-3 say business was worse for the first three quarters of 2011 (30 percent) and 20 percent say it was about the same. Those results mirror Smart Tan\u2019s six-month poll conducted at the end of June, where 50 percent reported a stronger 2011 as compared to 2010.  \u201cWhile the poll does not take into account businesses who closed in the past year \u2014 many of whom were pushed over the edge by the federal government\u2019s imposition of a 10 percent tax on tanning \u2014 it does again show that there are business models in the market that are working,\u201d Smart Tan Vice President Joseph Levy said. \u201cThat is exactly what we will be analyzing at the Smart Tan educational conference at Smart Tan Downtown Oct. 14-16.\u201d  Call 800-652-3269 or 888-795-3755 for more information on the convention or click here (www.SmartTanDowntown.com).","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/2011-10-03-Strong-Salons-copy.jpg"}
