How About Dollar Day Tanning?

I love it!  We decided just now, my husband and I, that we are going to plan to offer Dollar Day tanning once a month on the first day of the month! That means that anyone who wants to tan on the first of the month can come in for a buck.

I love tanning. laying in the warmth and light feels great. Tanning is very relaxing, especially if you tan on a bed. Of course, we have beds and a stand up for you to choose from. We are even going to offer spray tanning for any new clients on the first of the month for an extremely ridiculous price! Heck, we can just have a party all day. Did you know we offer free wine and beer if you are over 21?  Check out our facebook page for announcements of our Dollar Day Tans. We just love Endless Summer Tan Sarasota!

We are officially Incorporated!


Our official name is now, Endless Summer Tan Sarasota, LLC. We have exciting plans for this tanning salon over the next year.  We are upgrading our point of sale system and software program to better serve our clients. Keeping more accurate records of our clients visits, purchases and tanning bed usage will help us to offer better loyalty rewards.  Earning points with every purchase and referral will bring you savings. We appreciate your business!

We plan to add natural nail care services in the fall. Rejuvenating manicure and pedicure services will compliment our tanning customers needs.  We will offer packages that can include your tanning/spray tanning as well.

Overall, Endless Summer Tan Sarasota, LLC will continue our fantastic customer service, add more services and upgrade our software systems in order to bring you the best tanning experience in Sarasota!


Crunch Time!

So, we are one week away from opening and my head is spinning! Software, merchant accounts, business cards, marketing and the list goes on.  Exciting? Yes!  Nerve splitting? Absolutely!  Taking over an already successful tanning salon sounds pretty simple but really, I have no idea what will really happen on our first day.

It is our hope and plan to keep our customers coming back as well as creating a giant list of new ones along the way.  After all, that is what being in business is all about. Creating a "wow!" experience for each and every person that walks into our doors.  What makes us different? We are a family owned and operated business, not a large corporation running a business from afar with low paid employees.

Being a family owned and operated business will be one of the reasons for our success.  Customers really appreciate a genuine, smiling face that is willing to give more value to them.  Personalized service that is noticeably absent from the larger tanning salons.  If we want to give you a free tan, just because I can, then I have the ability to do so.  If I choose to create a great deal for you right on the spot, I can.

Mark your calendars...stop by our place anytime in March and get a free tan if you mention this post! :)

Tanning salons in Florida?

Almost everyone I spoke to about our new tanning business said, "Why would anyone go to a tanning salon in Florida?"  Good question. I thought that too. Obviously, these people who I spoke to are all my relatives who are from up north. But think about it...Floridians live in outdoor friendly weather all year long. Not like the northerners who spend most of their time indoors for a majority of the year. If they go out, they are covered from head to toe!

If you live in Florida, you can wear shorts, tank tops, and sandals all year.You are outdoors for so many activities.   That means, your skin is exposed. Many people would like to have some color on that exposed skin. Going to a tanning salon to control your sun exposure, and get a nice tan is not a bad idea.

At Endless Summer Tan Sarasota, you can do this at a reasonable cost at your convenience.  We offer all types of UV tanning as well as custom spray tanning with Norvell sunless tanning solution by certified technicians.

Under New Ownership for 2014

My name is Eileen and I live in Sarasota, Florida.  My husband and I have been here for a year now and absolutely love it! Coming from up north in PA and NY my whole life, living here in sunny, warm weather year round is soothing.  I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I get to work in my flip flops all year round. Dining out with my family in February is a delight!  We spent Christmas afternoon at the beach. This is heaven. One thing I do not like about Florida is the job offering.  Yes, there are plenty of jobs but mostly low paying and with no real security. Maybe that is the way it is everywhere these days. So, we decided to take our destiny into our own hands and work for ourselves.

That is where Endless Summer Tan Sarasota comes in.  After living for months living on the edge wondering if my husband would be fired for no apparent reason, or the fact that I couldn't find a decent paying full time job, we took the plunge and bought this beautiful little tanning salon.  We plan to take over the business in just a couple of weeks. My job is to market and promote it.

I've owned several businesses over the years so I understand what goes into running a business on a day to day basis.  We are excited to breathe our life into it and hopefully build some great new relationships with our clients and future clients.

Our mission:  To provide a spotless clean, friendly tanning experience with knowledgeable staff. To offer traditional tanning beds and customized spray tanning that is safe and affordable.  We want our customers to think immediately, "wow, friendly people, good service and I want to come back!"

We are real people who have a real desire to make our customers happy. To create a neighborhood salon feeling where the owners are approachable and available.  We are not a large, cold corporation just wanting to hire employees cheap to bring in the bucks. We believe when you treat people right, do things with integrity and excellence, the business will come. To provide a top notch, clean and affordable tanning experience for each person that walks through our doors. To bring in new products, unique services that blend in with your tanning experience.

Stop in anytime during our business hours beginning on March 5, 2014 and we would love to meet you! We are located at 6591 Superior Ave. Sarasota, Fl 34231.
