This has not only made selling tans easier but has also helped those skeptical new spray tanners who are worried about being orange. By having previous clients\u2019 photos on hand, we are able to show the natural tones of our colors and put their minds at ease.

To be able to promote your business and it not cost you anything? Well, I\u2019m about to tell you how to do just that! I have a way to get everyone talking about your business, and it is completely free! All you need is a great photo of one of your customers, a photo editing program, and a clean\/simple caption to post. For example, I threw these together one night using www.canva.com, and some photos of my cousin. The next morning, I posted one of the ads I made on all of my salon social media pages with only the caption: \u201cTag us in your best photos for a chance to be featured in our next ad!\" Within 2 hours we had people tagging the salon in all of their photos as far back as Halloween, and it didn\u2019t cost me a penny. I\u2019m no longer hunting and paying for image rights, plus I\u2019m getting lots of social media coverage and referrals from clients. People are more interested in seeing their family or friends doing things than they are seeing some random model on an ad. And, even more than that, most people love being the center of attention! So, instead of using images of random people on a beach in your ads, use your real-life clients. By posting photos of your own customers you are: Making that particular customer feel special Showing off a tan actually produced by your salon Causing people to stop and pay more attention to your posts when they recognize the person in the picture Going to get more \u201cshares\u201d and views of the post as people show off their moment of fame by being in your ad Saving yourself time and energy looking through ad images. Saving money! Because of the caption that I put with my ad, I now have a stock pile of my clients\u2019 photos to use to promote my salon at any given time. These photos have also made it easier for us to show new and potential clients what amazing tans they will get from our salon. Anytime we post someone\u2019s photo, we make sure to mention what level of tanning they use and\/or what color spray tan they are wearing. This has not only made selling tans easier but has also helped those skeptical new spray tanners who are worried about being orange. By having previous clients\u2019 photos on hand, we are able to show the natural tones of our colors and put their minds at ease. I hope this helps some of you to work smarter and not harder and really utilize the community you\u2019re in.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/let-clients-do-the-work-for-you\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/let-clients-do-the-work-for-you\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/let-clients-do-the-work-for-you\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Selfie-6-24-19.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Selfie-6-24-19.jpg","width":1361,"height":1000},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/let-clients-do-the-work-for-you\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Let Clients Do the Work for You on Social Media"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/","name":"Smart Tan News","description":"","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#organization","name":"Smart Tan","url":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Smart-Tan.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/smarttan.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Smart-Tan.png","width":500,"height":164,"caption":"Smart Tan"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SmartTan","https:\/\/x.com\/SmartTan"]},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/#\/schema\/person\/722dc7049af55e0ed743d67ce9ed4819","name":"smarttannews","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c0189f76465f47ce293287354f8076bfdb83130e65538eb34fcd2cd44e9f0e53?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c0189f76465f47ce293287354f8076bfdb83130e65538eb34fcd2cd44e9f0e53?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/c0189f76465f47ce293287354f8076bfdb83130e65538eb34fcd2cd44e9f0e53?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"smarttannews"},"url":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/author\/smarttannews\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23520","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23520"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23520\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23521,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23520\/revisions\/23521"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23520"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23520"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news.smarttan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23520"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
