Just less than a quarter of tanning facilities \u2014 22 percent \u2014 said the first half of 2010 was better than 2009. Another 16 percent saw no change from 2009, and 62 percent said their financial performance this year was worse than 2009. The poll is not scientific, but it is the first such SmartTan.com poll to show a majority of the market reporting unfavorably results compared to the previous year. \u201cSince we have done these polls, the model has consistently been, more or less, that one-third reported improved earnings, one-third reported no change from the year before and one-third reported a decline,\u201d Smart Tan Vice President Joseph Levy said. \u201cIt\u2019s clear that the economy and other factors that have contributed to uncertainty in the market have created additional stress this year for many businesses. But at the same time there definitely are some businesses who are adapting to market conditions and are seeing increased business.\u201d Smart Tan\u2019s 15th Annual Convention \u2014 Smart Tan Downtown, Oct. 22-24 in Downtown Nashville \u2014 will explore the success stories in the market and what are the key elements to success in tanning today.
