The Problem

TANNING SALONS
LOSE CUSTOMERS DAILY

You're losing bookings every day your phone rings unanswered. Clients call after hours, no-shows waste your beds, and your staff can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When It Matters Most

Someone wants to book a session at 9 PM, calls, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already booked with the competitor down the street who answered.

The Cost
$3,200/month
Lost in missed bookings

Your Staff Is Drowning in Calls

While you're helping a client in a tanning bed, three more calls come in. New bookings, package questions, spray tan appointments—you can't be everywhere at once. Clients get frustrated waiting on hold, and you lose business.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per tanning salon

Appointments No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You keep a bed open, turn away walk-ins, and they don't show up. You send one text reminder that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No second chance, no recovery, just wasted time and empty tanning beds losing you money.
