Offering tiered pricing in your tanning salon will allow you to charge different prices for different sessions and courses. This is particularly useful if you have more than one type of sunbed \u2013 e.g. both lie-down tanning beds and stand-up booths. For example, you could charge more for beds that are in higher demand, or that cost more to run.<\/p>

With ActiveSalon<\/a>, the number one tanning salon software (UK), it\u2019s quick and easy to create tanning sessions and courses at differing price points. You can also set up tiered credit systems \u2013 such as \u2018Standard\u2019 and \u2018Premium\u2019, or \u2018Bronze\u2019, \u2018Silver\u2019 and \u2018Gold\u2019. Read on to learn exactly how to do it.<\/p>

How Does Tiered Pricing Work in ActiveSalon?<\/h2>

Tanning salons typically charge for sunbed use on a \u2018price per minute\u2019 basis. Longer courses are offered at a discounted rate, and can be split across multiple appointments.<\/p>

With ActiveSalon tanning salon booking software, you can set up tiered credit systems, allowing you to create courses and sessions at different price points. When a course is purchased, the correct number of corresponding credits will be added to the client\u2019s account. They can then redeem these credits against eligible sessions.<\/p>

ActiveSalon will automatically keep track of each client\u2019s remaining credits within the tanning salon computer software database. The tanning salon management software will also prevent lower-tier credits from being used to book higher-tier sunbed sessions.<\/p>

How to Set Up Tiered Pricing with ActiveSalon Software<\/h2>

To set up a tiered pricing structure within ActiveSalon, follow these four simple steps.\u00a0<\/p>

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Add Your Resource Types<\/h3>

First, decide how many price levels your tanning salon will offer. For example, let\u2019s assume that your tanning salon has two types of sunbeds: Standard and Premium. These are your \u2018resource types\u2019.<\/p>

Under System Maintenance > Resource Types, click \u2018Add\u2019. Enter the name of the resource type (e.g. Standard Tanning or Premium Tanning) and select a safety policy. Then click \u2018Save\u2019.<\/p>

Now you can add your resources \u2013 i.e. each individual sunbed. Navigate to Resources, click \u2018Add\u2019, and input the name\/number of the tanning bed. Specify the resource type (Standard or Premium) and which branch of your salon it is located in. If the sunbed is connected to a T-max timer, you can also enter its unique Device ID.<\/p>

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Set Up Your Credit Systems<\/h3>

The next step is to create a credit system for each level of tanning. In System Maintenance > Credit Systems, click \u2018Add\u2019 and enter the name of the credit system (e.g. Standard or Premium credits).<\/p>

In the Unit Price field, select the price of 1 credit. For example, a Standard credit may cost \u00a31.00, while a Premium credit may cost \u00a31.50.<\/p>

If you wish to set up a referral rewards system, you can also specify the number of Reward Credits. This is the number of corresponding credits that will be added to a client\u2019s ActiveSalon account when they refer a friend. If the new client books a Standard session or course, the referrer will receive Standard credits, and vice versa.<\/p>

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Create Tanning Sessions<\/h3>

Once your sunbed salon software credit systems are in place, you can set up your tanning sessions and courses. To add a session (a single tanning appointment), go to System Maintenance > Sessions and click \u2018Add\u2019. You will need to specify:<\/p>
