INDOOR TANNING BUYERS GROUP LAUNCHES NEW WEBSITE

PHILADELPHIA – The Indoor Tanning Buyers Group (ITBG) launched its new website on March 1 2007. The new format is highlighted by a searchable knowledge base for retailer reference.

Commented ITBG President, David Kenney, “The appeal of the design is that anyone can search, comment and interact with the content presented. This allows ITBG to bring a wide range of information and reference material to members and visitors. I am excited about the website. I think it really helps to complete the value-add of ITBG membership. While the original purpose of the site was to provide information to our members faster, it has proven to be more than I expected.”

Created for the independent or small chain salon, Buyers Group membership gives the salon owner/operator advantages that are not possible to obtain on their own. ITBG partners with well-known and widely used companies to offer discounts on their products and services. For more information, visit TanningBuyersGroup.com
