Why Tropi Tan?

Established Concept

The concept and reputation are already established; this gives you a head start against someone who is opening a business as an independent.

Comparative Assessment

Having the ability to gauge your performance against other similar salons can be very valuable for future decision-making purposes.

Research

Continuing research is on-going with Tropi Tan. We are never idle in our pursuit of a better product or a better way of doing business. You will receive the direct benefit from our testing of new products and services. Once a new product or method has been fully tested the information will be proactively shared with all franchise owners. 

Opportunities

The opportunity to own your own business, but not be in business alone can have great rewards. Franchising can provide personal growth and advancement in business knowledge and skills by learning from the corporate office as well as other franchise owners. The opportunity to network and build a strong alliance with other members is priceless.

Purchasing Power

The Corporate office has developed relationships with vendors and suppliers of the products and equipment you will need for your salon. These long-term relationships plus the combined purchasing power of all Tropi Tan locations equals better pricing and support for you. We have worked hard to cultivate these relationships that will ultimately better serve the needs of our franchise owners.

Training

Your training will consist of a comprehensive two-week training program at the corporate headquarters in Flint, MI. The first week will be dedicated to learning business principals applied specifically to the tanning industry. This will include areas of management, finance and accounting, personnel, marketing, and tanning education and equipment.

The second week will be dedicated to working in an actual Tropi Tan salon so that you can see first hand how the business principals you learned the week before apply. This will also provide you with some hands on experience so that you will develop a comfort level and high level of confidence before you open your own salon.

Support Services

As a Tropi Tan franchise owner, you have access to many personnel who have years of experience to help and guide you. Part of our responsibility and commitment is to work with you to develop your salon into a success. The franchise services toll free number and email provide you easy access to corporate personnel that can answer any questions you have regarding owning a Tropi Tan salon franchise. 

Marketing/Advertising

Being a part of the Tropi Tan franchise system allows you to take advantage of the many marketing/advertising items used by all Tropi Tan locations. The exposure you gain by being a member of our franchise would normally not be affordable if you had to support these efforts by yourself. Along with providing various programs and materials for you, we encourage our owners to work with us in developing a personalized marketing/advertising strategy plan that you can implement in your own market. These efforts will compliment and enhance what the corporate office is already providing.
