Still, 28 percent reported that that business results exceeded expectations and 21 percent felt results met expectations \u2014 showing a split right down the middle in how the market is perceived. In the same poll a year ago, only 21 percent saw results that fell short of expectations while 57 percent thought their business performance in the first quarter of 2009 was better than expected. \u201cIt\u2019s clear that some businesses are finding their way through this market \u2014 creating ways to maintain or increase revenue even if their traffic count is down,\u201d Smart Tan Vice President Joseph Levy said. \u201cLooking at the characteristics of the salon businesses that are succeeding verses the salons that are struggling will be a central focus of Smart Tan\u2019s 15th Annual Convention and Trade Show in Downtown Nashville this fall.\u201d Smart Tan will announce the conference line-up in May.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/2010-04-13-salon-businesses-that-are-succeeding-copy1.jpg"}
