FROM BERLIN TO VIRGINIA BEACH

World’s Largest Blue Box Studio Opens in VA

PLYMOUTH, MN – Dennis Tebon, National Sales Manager of JK North America, has announced the opening of the first U.S. Blue Box studio concept in Virginia Beach, VA.
Sundays Tanning Resort, already the largest and best known name for tanning in Virginia Beach with four locations, will now be known as the premiere Blue Box tanning studio in the U.S. Furthermore, it will be the largest Blue Box studio in the world, eclipsing the flagship store located in Berlin, Germany.

“Sundays Tanning Resort is the perfect partner for us with vision and leadership challenging the industry and setting new standards for tanning in America,” said Tebon. “Their commitment to quality, award-winning salons and customer loyalty make Sundays Tanning Resort ideal for being the first to open the revolutionary Blue Box concept.”

Soltron’s distributor in that area, American Sun Systems, had already established an excellent relationship with Sundays Tanning Resort and was their trusted distributor for the Blue Box tanning studio. American Sun Systems was involved in the Blue Box tanning studio from the beginning and assisted with the suggested equipment mix, delivery, setup and installation of sunbeds and all aspects of getting the salon up and running including the grand opening.

The Blue Box Studio by Sundays Tanning Resort grand opening celebration was a spectacular success with many new customers excited to see this trend-setting salon. A radio station remote broadcast highlighted the event and drew people in to see the “Blue Box experience” featuring an open and inviting lobby with Philippe Starck designer furniture in the waiting area, specially built cabin walls and custom decorative elements.

“In terms of planning, designing, marketing and attention to detail, the prompt service I got from JK North America was nothing short of amazing. Everything was delivered on time and as promised and their follow-up was outstanding to the last detail,” said Dennis Ligon, owner of Sundays Tanning Resort. “Their constant availability and assistance helped make my Blue Box studio very popular and successful from day one.”

So what is a Blue Box tanning studio? Answers Dennis Tebon, “It’s not a franchise, but rather, it’s a dynamic and powerful brand concept designed to support the state-of-the-art tanning equipment from Soltron. Customers are treated to a total experience that’s energetic, bold, sexy and above all fun! There is an obvious and exciting energy to a Blue Box studio. You can see it when you drive by and you feel it once you’re inside.”

For more information about the Blue Box concept or any Soltron product, call 866.243.9861 or visit www.soltron.us. Soltron is a division of JK Products & Services, Inc. and a proud member of the JK family of companies.


HEARTLAND TANNING APPRECIATES THEIR CUSTOMERS

LEE’S SUMMIT, MO – All too often, hardworking business people feel unappreciated and taken for granted. However, that’s not the case for Heartland Tanning, Inc. customers. The tanning product distributor shows their appreciation to their loyal salon customers every day, but decided to take it a step further last March.

Friday, March 10 was dedicated entirely to expressing customer appreciation. The company included free product with every order, offered unbelievable lotion specials, and had lots of fun. Several product orders were randomly chosen throughout the day, and those customers were called and informed that their orders would be shipped absolutely free of charge. At the end of the day, one invoice was chosen at random and that customer received a $1,500 credit toward Heartland-manufactured tanning equipment. That lucky salon is Bronze Body in Beaumont, TX.

Heartland wants to express how much they appreciate their customers before, during and after the sale. Check your Heartland calendar; there is another Customer Appreciation Day scheduled for June 23, 2006. You just might be a lucky winner of the many giveaways, and join those who discovered on March 10th that Heartland is America’s Best Tan™.

The new Wolff System campaign is a continuation of earlier efforts that have targeted fans of NASCAR racing and college football Bowl games. Appearing in printed programs used by attendees of baseball games this season, the ads encourage consumers to visit a professional tanning salon near them.

Wolff System designed the campaign to increase traffic at the salon level. “Many people who go to sporting events are the outdoors type.

PREMIERES ON MTV’S “THE “REAL WORLD: KEY WEST”

DALLAS – Just one week after Mystic Tan premiered as the cast job of MTV’s “The Real World: Key West”, the company saw a drastic spike, a 75 percent increase, in hits to its website (www.mystictan.com), creating an even greater demand for the Authentic Mystic Tan Experience among consumers.

“Product sales have substantially increased since the show’s debut,” said Darryl Leavitt, Director of Marketing. “Our e-store launched in January and timing couldn’t have been better. We’re so excited to be able to introduce Mystic Tan to new consumers and also drive traffic to our Authentic Partner salons.”

MTV’s long-running series, “The Real World,” produced by Bunim-Murray Productions, was the highest-rated series on basic cable among 12-34 year olds in 2005. “The Real World” launched the modern reality television genre, and is the longest-running reality series in history. The show debuted its first season set in New York City in 1992. Each season, the show brings seven young strangers to live together in a new town and rolls the cameras 24/7, witnessing as their lives intersect, their ideas are challenged, and their passions emerge.

“We are thrilled to be working with a leading force in the tanning industry,” stated Fabian Andre, Vice President of Business Development, Bunim-Murray Productions. “Not only does this collaboration speak well to the show’s viewership, but also thanks to Mystic Tan, the cast is learning a life lesson in building a business from the ground level.”

For the entire 17th season of the popular reality show, the cast experiences what it is like to start a business from scratch – a Mystic Tan salon. Mystic Tan’s own Vice President of Product Development, Ricky Croft, served as the cast liaison for Mystic Tan and helped guide the cast in starting the salon. He will teach them everything they need to know about Mystic Tan booths, products and apparel.

Croft is also the head blogger for a site about his experience with the show. The blog is located at www.realworldtanning.com.

In late 2005, Mystic Tan launched its Authentic Mystic Tan Experience campaign, protecting consumers against fraud and educating consumers to ask, “what’s inside the booth?” While Mystic Tan has a strong partner organization, some owners of Mystic Tan equipment choose to use generic tanning solutions in the booth.

“If it’s not Mystic Tan Tanning Myst in the booth, it’s not an Authentic Mystic Tan,” said Stone. Consumers who log onto the Mystic Tan website can easily access a list of salons that are providing the Authentic Mystic Tan Experience.

“We are very glad to be able to reward our loyal partners by providing them with more avenues to market to customers and this reality show is the perfect opportunity to help us do so within a very important demographic,” said Stone.

“The Real World: Key West,” which premiered on Feb. 28, airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT or 9 p.m. CT. on MTV.

HEY, NICE LOBBY!

Salon Pro Wins TanTalk.com Photo Contest

by John P. Ribner

HARVEST, AL – Thanks to TanTalk.com and some interior decorating savvy, Bruce and Amy James now have their very own iPOD personal music device.

For the past year, Bruce and Amy James, who own Summer Breeze Tanning in Camarillo, CA, have participated on TanTalk.com, a popular tanning industry discussion board. When moderators of the site announced a contest looking for pictures of the best salon décor, they didn’t give it much thought at first. “A friend of ours who saw the pictures of our lobby on our profile suggested we enter the contest,” he recalled. “We didn’t think we’d win, but we both said, ‘Why not give it a try?’ We submitted a few photos of our lobby, and we were very surprised to find out we’d won.”

Of all the salon owners who entered the contest – which awarded an iPOD personal music player as its prize – TanTalk’s moderators chose the pics from Bruce and Amy’s salon. “We had a lot of great entries in this contest,” said Michael Chunn, TanTalk.com owner. “Our moderators were especially impressed with the look of Bruce’s lobby with its decorations, cleanliness and beautiful, marbled stone floor.” Bruce and Amy were contacted by Chunn and informed that they had won the iPOD. “It’s funny because we were actually talking about getting one,” Bruce added.

This latest salon décor contest was one of many similar contests that have been held on TanTalk.com. “It’s a great way to keep the excitement going on the site,” Chunn explained. “We plan to have more of these contests throughout the year, and we encourage all salon pros to stop by TanTalk.com and participate.”

OLSDMAR, FL – Devoted Creations tanning lotions has a new “face” – and what a beautiful face it is!

With her exotic features and perfect, dark tan, Rosalynd Joyce could be the very image of indoor tanning. After all, the 24-year-old model/actress is no stranger to a tanning salon, utilizing moderate tanning to help maintain a lovely golden brown glow for her photo shoots. Lewis Henry, Devoted Creations President, quickly recognized her potential, and made her the spokesmodel for his tanning lotion company.

“I was a regular poster on TanTalk.com, where I would often discuss the lotions I was using and the results they gave me,” Rosalynd recalled. “Lewis Henry (Devoted Creations President) saw my posts, and he sent me an e-mail, challenging me to try Devoted Creations products. He sent me many full-sized bottles, and I tried them and fell completely in love with the results I got from them. I’ve never received better tanning results; they’re excellent products!”

After trying Devoted Creations’ lotions, Rosalynd contacted Lewis to thank him; that’s when the lotion mogul asked her to become the company’s newest spokesmodel. “I thought she would be the perfect person to help represent our product, and we were all very pleased that she accepted our offer,” Lewis commented. “We’re looking forward to working with her.”

Rosalynd, who’s been featured in magazines such as FHM and Maxim, is very excited to be the new “Devoted Creations Girl.” “I’m excited about being a part of the indoor tanning industry and helping promote Devoted Creations lotions, because I truly believe in them,” she added.
