According to the poll, 49 percent of stores are seeing stronger lotion sales this year as compared to 2010. Another 20 percent say sales are about the same as last year, while 31 percent report that lotion sales are down. The poll is informal, but is directional and is consistent with other SmartTan.com polls. A poll conducted several weeks ago showed that 49 percent of tanning facilities report that their overall business is up for the first three months of 2011 as compared with 2010 \u2014 the same number reporting increased sales as in this poll. \u201cIt\u2019s clear that the stores succeeding today are increasing their sales per client effectively,\u201d Smart Tan Vice President Joseph Levy said. \u201cHelping stores get there is what we have modeled our training systems around for stores, and it\u2019s what we\u2019re concentrating on at this year\u2019s annual convention in October. The bar in the market is changing.\u201d","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/2011-04-20-Lotion-Sales-Increase-copy.jpg"}
