This is the fun, creative side of the business planning process that has to do with how you will market your new bronze business. Think about what you want your business to stand for, what colors you want to use, and what feeling you want people to have when they interact with your brand. Think about a business name that resonates with you and create a logo that will speak to your audience. This step involves creating the outward perception you will build as your business continues to gain clientele and make a name for itself. If you’re not super marketing savvy, that’s okay! At Spray Tan Class we have marketing courses that will give you the know-how to set yourself up for success.

Setting yourself up in the right direction at the very beginning with the legalities of your business can do you some good later on down the road. Do research on what the requirements are for registering a business in your state and get that paperwork taken care of! Every state is different and it’s at your discretion whether you want to form an LLC, a sole proprietorship, a corporation, ect. If you need help in making these decisions it's great to reach out to a tax professional to get a better understanding of what business structure would be best for you.
Now that you are officially a beauty biz babe, you need all the things to actually perform your service! If you haven’t already taken your certification course, do that! Although getting certified in spray tanning isn’t legally required in most states, (check your state requirements beforehand) getting certified in your new craft can help you build confidence in your skillset and give you the knowledge to create an exceptional experience for your new clients so that you can start earning positive word of mouth right off the bat. You’ll also want to order your equipment and supplies. X-TAN Sunlesshas everything you need to get you prepared to hit the ground running on this front!
You’ll also want to make sure that you’re protected from any mistakes that may take place during an appointment by getting yourself insured. Draft up a waiver form and get other client materials put together, such as spray tan care information that you can pass along to every client that books with you. This is also where you want to start your journey to being an organized business owner. Start early with laying out an efficient way to keep track of client appointments and information that is safe and secure.

This is an average guide to get an idea. Just like anything in life you are going to get what you put into it. But the income potential for mobile spray tanning can be fantastic!
*Please note that this is not even counting group sessions or bridal parties. I have made a few hundred dollars in one appointment doing group tanning or spray tan parties!
I personally started out as a mobile only service. I traveled all across 3 counties 7 days a week and even in the evenings. It was trial and error to come up with a system that worked well for me to haul all my equipment. Trust me it was difficult lugging all that stuff ( especially up stairs) and there was many things that I learned along the way. So I want to share some spray tan tips to help you all with the process and maybe touch upon some things you might have not though about when starting your mobile airbrush tanning service.

Even thought you are not renting retail space no matter what city you live in you need a license to operate any type of business. And also check with your county ordinance as well. Business licenses are very inexpensive and you must have one. I encounter many techs that do not get a business licence. This is not legal and you need to do things legitimate or risk getting shut down or incur fines.
I went through a few different systems when starting out and kept changing it up. Here are some ideas for consideration and maybe one of them will work for you.
1) Supermarket shopping cart- ( The metal ones that fold up) This is what I started out using. I know some techs use this as well and can even get creative blinging it out. There is also a cover that can be inserted inside to keep the cart contents concealed.

4) Cargo totes. There are so many cute ones that you can get from Thirty One gifts & I use this system now. I had mine embroidered with my company name and got additional pieces to match, such as an insulated tote that I use to carry my solution.
This is crucial come tax time! You want to have everything properly documented. I can not stress this enough. Keep a note pad in your car or use an app for your phone, Whatever you do is fine just do not forget to do this.
This is a very important topic that I talk about when I train or mentor new spray tanners. Many don’t even think about this but it should be your number one priority. I am not trying to scare anyone but we do live in a world today where this should be a concern & it is important to take safety measures. Especially for a female going into a strangers home or hotel room. Here are some measures and precautions that you should take when scheduling a mobile session:

1) Google the person & see if the address they give you matches up to them . Check them out on Facebook to see if they exist ( I know not everyone is on FB but many are)
2) Speak to them on the phone and get a feel of them. If you get any odd feeling then do not book the appointment. Remember. You have the right to refuse service and always go with your gut. It rarely never fails!
3) Do a reverse lookup of their phone number also to see if they are who they say there are. It may not be 100% accurate ( for example if a cell phone is in another persons
