While The Beach Hut Tanning & Services is already a thriving business, there are numerous opportunities to expand and grow revenues further. Some key areas of potential growth include:


  • Add-on Services: Introducing additional beauty and wellness services, such as spray tans, beauty treatments (waxing, facials, massages), or even nail care, would attract a wider range of customers and increase average customer spend.
  • Retail Opportunities: There is significant potential to expand the retail offering, such as selling tanning lotions, skincare products, and beauty-related accessories. These products could be promoted to regular customers, further increasing profitability.
  • Membership Programs & Loyalty Schemes: Introducing a membership or loyalty program could incentivize customers to visit more frequently. Offering discounts or exclusive benefits for repeat visits or pre-paid packages would also boost recurring revenue.
  • Online Presence & Social Media Marketing: By enhancing the business's digital footprint, including an active social media presence and online booking system, the salon can reach a larger audience. Promoting special offers and seasonal discounts via platforms like Instagram and Facebook would increase visibility and customer engagement.
  • Partnering with Local Gyms or Fitness Centres: By forming partnerships with nearby gyms or fitness facilities, the salon attracts fitness enthusiasts who may also be interested in maintaining their tan. These partnerships could involve cross-promotions or discounts for gym members.

The current owners are looking to explore new opportunities after successfully running the business for nearly a decade. This provides a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to take over a profitable, turn-key operation and make it their own.
