HEADLINE STORY: Most tanning businesses think good times are coming

Monday, September 28th, 2009

SEPT. 28, 2009 — Nine out of 10 tanning business owners think they will be more profitable three years from now, according to a SmartTan.com poll conducted this month. Only 10 percent saw their businesses being less profitable by 2012.

Smart Tan will be revealing a first-ever offense-minded initiative to promote the science-driven correction in public attitudes about UV exposure at Smart Tan Downtown Oct. 9-11 in Downtown Nashville. “The landscape is going to change, and we’re going to bring everyone together to support that change,” Levy said. “I am personally excited about what’s going to happen and look forward to discussing the way forward individually with as many people in the tanning community as possible. The campaign we’re unveiling has both national and local elements. It’s totally new and exciting.”
