As the indoor tanning community continues to evolve and grow professionally, the market\u2019s most successful operations continue to focus on key competencies.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Recommit Your Business to Sunburn Prevention<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The science of sun care is coming back to center, as it needs to. As more and more research mounts to support balance, teaching sunburn prevention as a life-long approach to sun care makes more sense than teaching over-use of sunscreen and all-out sun avoidance, which, ironically, often leaves people more susceptible to sunburn when they inevitably do go outdoors.<\/p>\n

    With researchers now implicating over-zealous sun avoidance as a major public health mistake, as the dust continues to settle on the scientific discussion of this topic the professional sunbed salons who will succeed long-term will be the ones who truly practice sunburn prevention.<\/p>\n

    That means recommitting your stores to teaching sunburn prevention in the salon as well as teaching your clients how to prevent sunburn outdoors.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Measure Your Success<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Commit to sunburn-prevention as a cornerstone to your overall quality. The industry\u2019s leading salons are doing this. We suggest you take two days a year and survey your clients about their results at your store \u2013 particularly measuring your effectiveness at helping them prevent sunburn.<\/p>\n

      \u201cThe benefits of this are two-fold,\u201d says ASA Executive Director Joseph Levy. \u201cWhat you\u2019ll learn from this is how you can improve your performance. But if you do this correctly, your clients won\u2019t see this as an imposition. They will appreciate that you are committed to quality and to improving your service to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

      Levy\u2019s happy to show ASA members how to do this simply and effectively. \u201cThe data you\u2019ll get from doing this will improve your business,\u201d Levy said. \u201cAnd it will reinforce in your employees and your clients that you are committed to quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Get Involved with ASA<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Since its inception in 2012, the American Suntanning Association:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Has held thousands \u2013 and that\u2019s not an exaggeration \u2013 of meetings in Washington D.C. with members of Congress and Federal agencies who oversee sun care policy \u2013 meetings that are key to demonstrating that professional sunbed facilities are playing a part in effective real-world sun care.<\/li>\n
        • Has led state lobbying initiatives in 43 states.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Our efforts are more effective when you\u2019re involved. Your success in indoor tanning, or any business for that matter, depends largely on your willingness to work and invest in your business. \u201cThe world is watching us,\u201d Levy said. \u201cAnd much of our future will be determined by our ability to show the world that we are committed to professionalism and leading the way in real-world sunburn prevention. It\u2019s vital for you to maintain the highest of standards, particularly regarding sunburn prevention.\u201d<\/p>\n

          Your business will also benefit from your participation with the ASA. To join ASA today, visit www.AmericanSuntanning.org\/register.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

We suggest you take two days a year and survey your clients about their results at your store \u2013 particularly measuring your effectiveness at helping them prevent sunburn. \u201cThe benefits of this are two-fold,\u201d says ASA Executive Director Joseph Levy. \u201cWhat you\u2019ll learn from this is how you can improve your performance. But if you do this correctly, your clients won\u2019t see this as an imposition. They will appreciate that you are committed to quality and to improving your service to them.\u201d Levy\u2019s happy to show ASA members how to do this simply and effectively. \u201cThe data you\u2019ll get from doing this will improve your business,\u201d Levy said. \u201cAnd it will reinforce in your employees and your clients that you are committed to quality.\u201d Get Involved with ASA Since its inception in 2012, the American Suntanning Association: Has held thousands \u2013 and that\u2019s not an exaggeration \u2013 of meetings in Washington D.C. with members of Congress and Federal agencies who oversee sun care policy \u2013 meetings that are key to demonstrating that professional sunbed facilities are playing a part in effective real-world sun care. Has led state lobbying initiatives in 43 states. Our efforts are more effective when you\u2019re involved. Your success in indoor tanning, or any business for that matter, depends largely on your willingness to work and invest in your business. \u201cThe world is watching us,\u201d Levy said. \u201cAnd much of our future will be determined by our ability to show the world that we are committed to professionalism and leading the way in real-world sunburn prevention.
