Just 22 percent said their staff is less upbeat this year, while 32 percent found no difference this year from last year. The poll results are not scientific. "This is one more indication that the tanning community is cautiously optimistic this season - that many facilities are experiencing success beyond their expectations for 2009 and that there are good things in store for 2010 and beyond," Smart Tan Vice President Joseph Levy said.
