Hello All,

In today’s post I am going to talk about what I believe to be the best benefits for setting up and operating a spray tan business.

There are many benefits, and I am sure I may miss a few but I will attempt to give you my top five.

1. A Spray Tan Business Can Be In-expensive To Set Up!

Depending on where and how you are going to set up your spray tan business, this can cost under $1,000 on average.

For example if you are considering setting up a spray tanning business from home you could do this fairly cheap. You could buy your equipment and solution for between $500-$600 easy.

(I have seen starter packages going for under $300 on ebay!)

To cut even more costs if you have a shower you can spray tan people in then you don’t even need to buy a spray tan tent.

(You can buy a spray tan tent for under $100 on ebay as well!)

The only other expenses you will have if operating a business from home is your business registration license if needed, depending on where you are and some business cards that you can hand out.

If you are looking at going mobile (spray tanning clients in their homes) then you will need to purchase a tent, plus have a mobile phone and you will also have your car expenses.

Setting up a spray tanning business in a salon is a lot more expensive, you will need to set up the room if you are renting space from a salon owner and therefore you will have space rental and insurance costs as well. Some salon owners may even take a commission of your sales depending on your contract agreement.

Operating a salon booth is the most expensive way to set up a spray tan service. Most of the automatic machines can cost up to $30,000 to purchase unless you hire them on lease.

However over all if you are wanting to set up a business from home then operating a spray tan mobile or home business can be cheap to set up compared to a lot of other businesses in the world such as a retail store or food shop etc.

2. Spray Tanning Does Not Take A Long Time To Learn!

Spray tanning is not rocket science and can be fairly quick to learn. I have had students spraying like experts with in 2 days!

Once you have your equipment, solution and your “Spray Tanning Success Training Guide” (couldn’t resist promoting my training manual there! ), the quickest way to get spray tanning and earning money fast is to have a spray tan party!

Invite a few close friends and family around that are willing to be your learning guinea pigs! Offer them some food & wine and while they have a chat you get busy spray tanning them one after the other! You should have a minimum of 6-12 to spray tan in a row.

Once you are up to the 12 person you will be spray tanning like a pro, especially if you have spray tanned different body shapes, sizes and skin types. Your speed and general technique will be established and you will know how you like to spray.

If you learn by having a party on week, you could be charging for your service by the second week!

3. A Spray Tan Business Can Suit You!

Depending on your life style commitments you could operate your spray tan business, full time, part time or casual. The choice is actually yours!

I know of clients that have started as a casual spray tanner and ended up with a full time business booked out with over 40 clients a week and have had to turn away clients with in a matter of months!

If you are good at what you do then word of mouth will go viral. People like to recommend spray tanners to their friends, especially if they have had a fantastic experience.

You can choose your own hours depending on how you want to operate your business.

4: You Can Socialize And Meet New People!

Operating a spray tan business can be very social. You are always meeting new people as word gets around about your service.

You can also socialize at the same time especially if you offer a spray tanning party service.

(I have met some amazing people during my spray tanning years, some of my close friends now I met spray tanning them! )

If you love meeting new people and being social, setting up a spray tanning business is a great way to go. Once your business is established you could join networking groups, go to trade events etc etc etc

5: Your Earning Potential Is Only Limited By You!

Depending on how you price yourself and what type of business you set up, you have very good earning potential operating a spray tanning business.

As long as you price yourself well, and you are good at what you do, you can earn good money.

Don’t try and under cut the other services in your area.

(I do not recommend this. I have seen quite a few people start their business and offering their service at @20 per spray tan! )

Charging @$20 per spray tan is ok if people are coming to your home and your solution isn’t that expensive to buy, however if you are operating a mobile service and buying more expensive solution then you will find charging only $20 way to cheap and you will be making peanuts!

I often tell my clients to think about the price they want to charge when they are first learning, such as $50 for a mobile spray tan service and $30 for a salon or at home service. Then when you are learning you could charge @$40 for mobile and @$25 for home and let people know they are getting @%20 off!

That way your clients wont grumble at you when you try and put your prices up! It is easier to offer discounts than to put your prices up when you are first starting out.

What you earn is really up to you and the hours you want to do. I allow @15-20 minutes per full client service from start to finish. This includes the welcome greeting, letting your client undress, spray tanning them, allowing your client to dress and then close of service.

This means you can potentially spray tan 3-4 clients per hour. Depending on your costs, and what you choose to charge per client you could make a nice little income.
