The August issue of Smart Tan magazine is available on-line, with the cover story looking at the development of regional coalitions to work with national groups to support indoor tanning at the local level.

From Nebraska — where tanning business owners staged a “Kill the Tan Tax” rally on the state capital steps, complete with the governor of Nebraska — to New York City, where competitors have joined together to promote indoor tanning in a positive light, tanning businesses are working together.

That will be a big part of what is revealed at Smart Tan Downtown, Smart Tan’s 15th Annual Convention and Trade Show, Oct. 22-24 in Downtown Nashville. To read the August issue of Smart Tan magazine as a virtual e-publication click here.
