Hi there, I'm John from Hawaiian Beach Tanning Salon in Ladner, British Columbia.
We put your machines in, we call them the "Jiggle Machines".
Actually, we followed our clients naming them that and we advertise them as "Jiggle Machines"
The big plus that we found which was not to be expected by us or by you and that is the
social aspect and the interaction we now have with our clients.
As they go into the tanning rooms, normally it's just "Hi", check them in, and when they
come out of the room wave "Bye Bye" when they leave.
Now we've got clients standing right in our service room, right out in the open on our
3 "Jiggle Machines" and we having conversation and getting to know our clients so much better.
I've never had this since being in the tanning salon business for 10 years.
This has been the best thing for us communication wise.
Now
we have clients coming in and saying, "John, do you realize you are the 'talk of the town'
with these things?"
We are averaging about 17 uses per day.
That's 17 clients per day coming in just for the "Jiggle Machines", the Whole Body Vibration
Machines if you use the proper terminology.
We love them and so do our clients.
Kwikfit4u: "How has it contributed to the revenue of the salon?"
We've got quite a low price compared to gyms.
Our clientele for the "Jiggle Machines" is considerbly older than the clientele for the
tanning beds.
We will obviously be gleaning more clients from the "Jiggles" into the tanning beds
because the older clients are vitally interested in the vitamin D aspects of the tanning beds
and these machines help too with that.
So, it is really, really a good mix.
For the price of them, the benefits to us as a business is just unbelievable.
Kwikfit4u: "Have you been able to attract a whole new type of clientele to the business?"
Absolutey, absolutely and it is gradually morphing into the tanning rooms as well.
Kwikfit4u: "So you are able to upsell the existing clients to the whole body vibration
as well?"
We charge $29.99 per month unlimited. That is very, very low.
Some of the fitness centers and gyms are charging up to $150 per month which seems way, way
high.
This is just like a pure new found business bonus.
The clients love it.
It's like a coffee clatch with no caffeine.
They are laughing and joking on these machines.
They have asked us not to move them anywhere else in the tanning salon.
"Keep them out in the open", they say.
