Choosing Between a Static or Mobile Spray Tan Business

Don’t discount this list even if you already work from an existing salon or spa: there are many pros and cons to each type of spray tan business, even when working from an already established location. A mobile business will have less of a startup cost to contend with, but it can also be harder to generate awareness for your services, and you must be sure to have reliable transportation. A static location, like a salon, spa, or storefront, ensures the possibility of walk in appointments and adds a sense of professionalism to your business, but it’s a much more expensive type of business to maintain and profit from, and might require additional insurance or licenses to operate. For more help in deciding which business type is a good fit for you, check out what the Pros and Cons of each are below, and feel free to call Aviva if you want to discuss your options and ideas with one of our dedicated spray tan business consultants.
