The primary growth engine in the indoor tanning industry consists of the
niche areas of sunless and specialized UV. This is where we focus our
business. Our current product line offers three automated sunless
machines. Of the more than 25,000 businesses in the United States that
offer tanning services, which generate more than $5 billion in sales
annually, estimates show less than 15% offer automated sunless services
(because the technology is still relatively new). This is why the
automated sunless industry is the fastest growing segment of the indoor
tanning business. In addition to our state-of-the-art sunless systems,
we hold the pioneering patent on UV light emitting diode (LED) tanning
devices, which are currently under development. For efficacy and
efficiency reasons, UV LED tanning devices will ultimately entirely
replace the standard UV bulb technology that has been in use for the
past 15 years. This is truly cutting-edge technology.
L.A. Tan is the fastest growing and most successful tanning salon chain in the U.S. The company's entry in spa and strategic alliances with its vendors has put L.A. Tan far ahead of its competitors.L.A. Tan has established a successful franchising model for its tanning business. The corporate management team, the brand name and the guidance of its CEO, gives each franchisee all the tools that are needed to bring success to their business. L.A. Tan offers an exciting and profitable business opportunity for those who want to become business owners or for those who are just looking for additional sources of income. Its plan is designed to be an "absentee owner" business model. This means, that instead of spending all of their time in the salon helping customers and performing labor duties, the franchisees will have more free time to explore more enjoyable interests. The goal of the company is that all the franchisees should have an enjoyable, profitable, and exciting entrepreneurial venture.
