Tanning distributors are in the business of marketing and distributing tanning equipment and other tanning paraphernalia. A distributor will mostly purchase items in large quantities and will then resell these items to merchants who in turn will sell these products to their customers. Some distributors work through a referral program or will go through an application process to work as a distributor or a dealer for a manufacturing company. Some manufacturers and producers of tanning paraphernalia will offer their application process online. Try visiting the websites of different manufacturers to check out the opportunities of becoming a distributor. Tanning distributors need a dedicated office, should be able to keep normal working hours, have a minimal amount of available space and ambition and a great desire to succeed. Being a tanning distributor is much like being a sales agent for a certain company. You will need to put in long hours of work to sell your product. Applicants who are accepted to work as distributors for a tanning bed or tanning product manufacturer will be granted the exclusive rights to sell the products within a specific geographical area. This specified location is based on the distributor’s ability and location. Tanning distributors can earn up to $100,000 in their first year of work. This amount is dependent, however, on the sales made. Some distributors will also be responsible for managing the brand’s sales agents for the commercial aspect of their business. Other manufacturers will also require their distributors to handle promotions for their region or area of territory. These promotional opportunities will include events such as State Fairs, County Fairs, Trade Shows, Home Shows, Pool and Spa Trades, Advertising and much more. To support these promotional campaigns, the brand manufacturer will provide their tanning distributors with assistance. This backing will come in the form of website building, provision of the plans for advertising campaigns, programs for press releases, materials for promotional purposes, as well as trainings for sales and operations. Tanning distributors offer various products used for the tanning process. Here are some of the most commonly used products and supplies used for tanning: Tanning Lamps – Various types, shapes and sizes of tanning lamps are available for sale. These lamps are categorized by their wattages.
Fans – Fans are installed into tanning beds to minimize the temperature and to keep the customer comfortable.
Tanning Lamp Holders – Holders made for your tanning lamps come in a variety of types and sizes. These lamp holders also have a decorative purpose since some people would change their lamp holders to vary the looks of their tanning beds.
Tanning Accelerator – The lotions and sprays that help in increasing the speed of the tanning process are called tanning accelerators. These substances contain enzymes that react with the skin to produce a darker look at a faster time. These accelerators will decrease the time needed for you to stay inside a tanning bed.
Tanning Lotion – Tanning lotions are those used to develop a better looking tan and to reduce the harmful effects brought about by exposure to ultraviolet light.
Tanning Clothes – Tanning clothes are used by people who tan regularly. These are for the tanners who do not want to go through the tanning process in the nude. Tanning clothes are made from fabrics that are specially designed to allow the maximum amount of exposure to the covered areas of your body to avoid an uneven tan.
Tanning Tattoos – Tanning tattoos are used for the aesthetic aspect of tanning since these items allow tanners to have a specified area of their body designed for a stylish and cool look. These tattoos also serve another function, and that is to help you check on the progress of your tanning session. These items are available for purchase from a tanning distributor. A tanning salon owner can even be given the opportunity of purchasing these items at a discount rate if they purchase it by bulk from their tanning distributors.
