Have you ever thought about becoming a professional spray tanner but don’t know where to start? Use the following as a guide to get started quickly.
1. Increase your knowledge and experience in the spray tanning industry.
If you are a beginner, you will obviously need to increase your knowledge. Here are some questions you will need to know. What is spray tanning? How does the skin change color? How long does the tan last? What are the golden rules to make sure the tan lasts as long as possible? What solution should you use? What type of machine should I buy? What are the risks associated with tanning and what is the best technique to use? In my eBook I answer all these questions and many more.
2. Determine what type of spray tanning business you want to operate.
Determine whether you will operate as a mobile spray tanner, a home business, or a stationary salon. You can also consider operating as a home based business offering mobile tanning. This ensures that you are meeting the needs and wants of many customers. There may be customers who do not drive or have children and cannot leave the house. There are a few things to consider for this type of business.
3. Understand the correct business licenses and business records that you will need.
Your business will require different types of licenses and registrations to function successfully and legally. This can take time to register your business and get all the correct licenses. Once everything is set up, you won’t have to think about it anymore. Take your time and don’t rush this process. You don’t need a contractor or beauty license to operate a spray tan business in most countries (check your country’s qualifications). You will need to decide on the trade name and register the name with your local Fair Trade Department. You will need to register a business number with the tax office.
4. Develop a business plan to begin your path to success.
The most crucial part of any successful business is the planning stage and it should not be overlooked. A business plan will be your roadmap for how you hope to be successful and how you will measure your success. Take the time to develop a business plan, write it down, and refer back to it. This is not a career, it is a real business that you would like to profit from, so take some time to plan your business. This is where small businesses fail. They don’t take the time to develop a written business plan. The business plan is also very important if you need to borrow money from a bank, it shows the profitability of a business before committing to invest, it will address any business problems, it includes clear guidelines for the operation of the business, It shows a clear direction of the business! business and how to stay focused!
5. How to develop exceptional customer service skills and gain credibility so that you stand out from your competitors.
In spray tanning, people are your business. Without people you would not have a business. Customer service is essential to a successful business and should be taken very seriously. When customers are dissatisfied with your products or services, the person they talk to can make the difference between a satisfied customer and a former customer. Word of mouth is one of the best forms of advertising since it is free. The spray tan business relies heavily on word of mouth, so developing exceptional customer service skills is paramount to your business.
6. Buy the right equipment.
When starting your own spray tanning business, it is very important to have the right quality equipment for the type of business you want to operate. It is important to buy your equipment from a legitimate supplier who offers a guarantee. Let’s investigate the different types of equipment you will need for your spray tanning business:
– Spray tanning machine: There are a few different types of machines. Some are large, which means that you cannot easily use them for a mobile business. Other machines are lightweight and suitable for a mobile operator or home business.
– Automatic spraying machine: If you want to have a fixed spray tanning salon, you will also need to consider whether you would offer automatic spray tanning booths for your clients.
– Pop-up store: You will definitely need a spray tanning tent even if you are tanning from home, traveling, or tanning in a fixed salon. Pop-up tent will prevent excess solution from going everywhere and there will be less solution to clean.
– Color / Solution: Solutions have been advancing since the days when tanning turned your skin orange. Solutions have advanced as there is more information and education on spray tanning. There are many more equipment to consider, for example towels, spray tan remover, tanning supplement products, hair nets, thongs, sticky feet, nose plugs, masks, etc.
7. How to advertise your business that could literally generate hundreds of profits. When starting a business, advertising and promotion are crucial to the success of your business.

Be sure to remember to budget for advertising and promotion at business costs.
