Sunless tanning is a billion dollar industry and growing rapidly. More and more people are trying to stay out of tanning beds or the sun, and are turning to sunless tanning. You likely were like us when we started, and have no clue where to start! We started spraying back in 2011 and had to learn the ins and outs of the business on our own.
We started with less than 3 contacts and a goal of having 10 clients a month. Since then, we have grown our client list from 10 to thousands. We've also helped many other girls start their own businesses. Were going to break it down to the top 10 things you need to do to start your business! 1. Get certified there are many companies that offer certifications and it's worth every penny! Not all states require certification, but it will add to your credibility. Having knowledge is the most powerful thing you can have. Your clients will be impressed with your knowledge and you will save yourself a lot of trial and error. Invest in yourself and your business and get certified. 2. Check your state laws and with the cosmetology board to see what all is required. You will need a business license to operate any business. This can be obtained at your local clerks office or on local government website. (Note: beware of scams make sure your on official government site) 3. Buy equipment! I have tried many different products and have found that maximist guns are my favorite, but you can do research and pick the one you like best! Don't go for cheapest as HVLP guns are not all made the same. My favorite for beginners is the maxi-mist lite. 4. Practice your craft! When I started I put water in my gun and sprayed cardboard. 5. Set your prices! I've seen so many girls including myself start way to cheap because they aren't confident. Lowering my prices was one of the biggest mistakes I made when starting out. Once I started charging what I was worth people respected me more and my client list grew. Do some market research and pick prices that match your market. Cheaper isn't always better, likely the person looking for the cheapest isn't going to be a lasting client. 6. Set up some form of collecting money! I use cashapp, venmo , square, and coinbase (yes I even take bitcoin). Be able to take money in more ways than one! 7. Set up your business social media accounts. Get a good profile picture and edit your bio so your page is clear on what it is you offer. If you don't have pictures at first, it's okay because most solution companies that you purchase from allow you to use theirs as long as you tag them! This gives you free professional photos and real results of the solution your using. 8. Start networking! Go to local community events, business grand openings, doctors offices, nail salons, hair salons, and meet new people! Tell them what you do and network. You may be able to collaborate on an event, or they may have a client that would use your services and vice versa. 9. Make a main goal and define your "why." Then, set up small goals to help you get closer to your big goal. This could be as formal as a business plan or informal as something slapped down on a old letter out of your junk drawer. 10. Be patient. It will take time to grow your business. Stay focused and patient. You will continue to grow if you don't loose sight of your goals. REMEMBER to have FUN! This business will allow you to meet amazing people and help them gain confidence! Enjoy it !
