Salons from at least 46 states traveled to Nashville last year (not to mention attendees from Europe and Asia) to experience the world’s largest indoor tanning trade show and conference. Why come all that way? Because Smart Tan Nashville is the only industry event where you’ll see every major equipment, lotion, and sunless brand. Every salon in attendance this year will walk away with more than $800 in samples, but the real benefit is the chance to see everything the industry has to offer in one place, and use that complete experience to make savvy buying decisions that will benefit your business for years to come.

With so much on the line, it’s important to choose your industry events wisely. There are certainly advantages and disadvantages to everything, but Smart Tan Nashville provides the distinct benefit of unmatched variety and competition that play to the salon owner’s benefit. With a multitude of vendors together at one place and time, it saves a lot of time and effort, and you’ll enjoy having every major name in the indoor tanning industry there to compete for your business. It’s a sensible way to get the most bang for your buck.

The other win for salon owners is the unbeatable deals to be found on the trade show floor. For the savvy or budget-minded, it is a playground of opportunity. Many vendors feature special discounts or offers specifically for the event. If you’re concerned with making an impulse buy, some even extend the special a little while past the event.

While each company may be competing for a sale, smart vendors know that they are vying for long-term relationships – not just a one-time deal. Every company is putting their best foot forward, including customer service. A real win is getting an exciting offer from a company that provides the support and service to back up the product.

With the indoor tanning industry’s largest trade show floor featuring every major vendor, Smart Tan Nashville is easily the most advantageous buying event of the year. And, of course, that’s only part of the package. Tabatha Coffey, host of Bravo’s Tabatha Takes Over will headline the educational conference portion of this year’s event, which will also include brand new sessions on thriving as an independent salon, helping owners develop and maximize the benefit of their professional network, and sharpening the skills and professionalism of employees so you can raise the bar for your business from the bottom up.
