According to the SmartTan.com poll, 53 percent expect July-September this year to be busier than last year. About one-quarter, 26 percent, expect the summer quarter to be slower than 2010. The other 21 percent expect business to be about the same. \u201cThe trend continues that about half of the industry is finding new ways to move forward right now,\u201d Smart Tan Vice President Joseph Levy said. \u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that the economy and the 10 percent tanning tax have affected businesses. But times of such challenge are usually treated as times of opportunity by those in the market in position to succeed in the long term. That appears to be what\u2019s happening right now.\u201d Positioning your tanning business to be a winner in the next generation is what Smart Tan\u2019s 2011 Convention Oct. 12-14 in Downtown Nashville is all about. In addition to the industry\u2019s only exhibit hall with all major manufacturers, Smart Tan\u2019s educational conference is designed to explore new winning strategies.
