Commercial Tanning Bed Discount Packages

If your salon is in the market for some new tanning beds, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at some of the commercial discount packages being offered. The manufacturers want to see their beds in your salon so they are willing to give you special discounts and incentives to make it happen.

A discount can be monetary, free products, or even giveaways. The size of the discount is usually tied to how much money you are planning to spend. So if you are in the market for one bed you might get a spare bulb or two. But if you are planning on buying 40 beds you can bet the discount incentives going to be a lot bigger!

The discount packages offer vary from no interest right through to a free bed, depending on how many beds you are planning to purchase.

Some manufacturers offer a free or discounted bed when you purchase 12 or more beds. Discounts can vary from as high as 25 to 30% discount to as low as 5% discount.

Most will include shipping or offer discounted shipping rates on 2 or more beds. Some will even include setup and installation for a minimal fee or no charge at all.

It’s common to see small discounts that increase with the more beds you purchase. It’s also common within the industry to include extra lamps or various strengths of lamps. Many will provide an entire case of replacement lamps. You will often see spare parts such as fans or times thrown in to seal up the deal.

Another very common practice is to include a range of tanning lotions, accelerators, and after tan sprays. Most manufacturers either carry a line or have arrangements with a supplier so they can give you great deals on these products.

Give a ways are also a common discount. A manufacture might include a trip, or enter you and your staff in a draw for a trip. It might provide a weekend getaway for two, or even just discount coupons for certain hotels or car rentals.

Some manufacturers try to offer something to hype the entire staff. Their theory is if staff members are hyped they’ll be more inclined to promote their products, good for the staff and for the manufacturer.

Other manufacturers like to keep it on a one to one, so they’ll offer the person doing the purchasing, or the business owner a trip incentive, usually for two people.

The style and type of discount varies from one manufacturer to the other. Discounts usually change every few months. Off season is usually a great time to get the best cash discounts.

Buying last years model can also be beneficial to your pocket book. Many times the difference from last year’s model to the current year is a simple as color, or slightly different body. If the model you are looking at has been on the market for a few years the changes are usually more cosmetic than functional.

You can sometimes get great discounts on new products that are just entering the market. If the product hasn’t been as quick to catch on as the manufacturer hope, they will sometimes deeply discount them just to get them out into the salons.

Demo models, or units with minimal damage such as light scratching can also be bought at good discounted rate. Demo models are basically new but they may have a few scuff or marks. No more than the beds going to get once put into use. Often a little TLC will make these beds good as new.

So decide your budget, the style of bed you are interested in, and your manufacturer preference. Then get busy to play “let’s make a deal.”
