I disagree that no purchase is necessary as well as with many of the rules being converted now that they are taken over. In fact many are overtly concerning, inconsiderate toward the general public who supports your business, and blatantly discriminating against the ADA, and as owners and executives if you are not sure what that is you need to do that research, but if your managers and employees do not they either need to go to school, learn to handle the public with understanding compassion, and concern; and you need to hire people who are qualified, not part time high school or college students and then bump them up to manager because its time, there is no one else, and they know there rules. It only furthers these controversies in a crude and insulting way just as prejudice and race wars.
And while incentives are nice, and, and you claim we don’t pay for them, such as the car or the IPOD; Free is sticking out name on a piece of paper for a Bally’s membership in a box, not the fact that we are only entered when we tan; this is considered a legit kickback as we are only entered when we tan , which mean you gain money from us. Anyone who doesn’t realize this as a consumer is either in denial, desperate, and/ or ignorant. Especially as I inquired about the IPOD specifically, and they explained it to me right then and there. What we’d spend to get entered each time we tanned , enters us in the drawing, -vs- and how many clients there are, not knowing how many (IPODS) you have, and what the odds are; this is simply a blind investment on blind faith, especially if there are only 20 IPODS for 4500 clients. Very much the way your $19.99 promotion now is.
The new manager can argue ’til she is blue in the face, but I am about 10 years older than her, and when it first came out I do remember the conditions and they are not the same; they also allow for no extenuating circumstances to the disabled, the medically necessary who may not want to cancel, or are willing to work out any delay arragements even one day after Hollywood tans gets paid, YES ONE DAY AFTER GETTING PAID…yet you get to keep $20 or $30 dollars for a month if we use one day. That is incredulous, robbery by most people and court standards, especially b/c most hardworking or disabled citizens are willing to pay and use food, prescription money, and whatever they have to or have had to do to come up with the fees so they can do something they really want something special for themselves, as most often recommended by their treating physicians.
These people, including myself do whatever it takes to nickel and dime everything; we don’t d laundry here or there, don’t buy this from the grocery store, don’t buy this from Wal-Mart, skip this prescription; and I have been waiting over 6 years to do something special like this and you think it’ ok to after I have no food, no prescriptions no food, that if something comes up, instead of a regular person who just wants to cancel, to just not make accommodations for legit medical reason \s like someone broke a foot and cant drive, or someone is on federal disability, or they didn’t react the first time, but their asthma documented can’t sustain this. So on the second day after spending $30 dollars or more spent you think that makes you a good legit businessman? So is that good PR? Is this what you sat in kindergarten dreaming of being? Is this how you’d want your mother, wife, daughter and child to be treated? Do you respect yourself to get that membership subscription to find out in some situation it generally can’t be used at all or at that time; or hat the member is willing to work with your company if you are and you won’t even take that time? Do you think it’s ok that for some you’re stealing their very last penny, meal, prescription, scarf, bottle of Tylenol, or bar of soap?
. You need a new institution of rules or clauses addressing that and many more including training and your priorities, as well as campaigning, PR, and sensitivity training issue. New managers who don’t think they are higher than executives, and are willing to give that info, because as far as I’m concerned, not only would I withdrawal and never return. But everyone I know, who sent me to the particular franchise I went, I would pass this account to immediately including a friend that works for a very well know part of the media that gets a very large amount of exposure.
Heather:
It’s unfortunate that you had a bad experience that clearly has you agitated, though it’s not clear what happened or at which salon. What do you mean “now that they are taken over”?
About not knowing how many prizes they are awarding: If you go to the Hollywood Tans website and click on the link to the promotion rules, you can see exactly how many iPods they are committed to giving away. They post the winners right on the website. Promotions like this are highly regulated, and most companies are careful to comply with the laws. That’s why they use a third party promotions company that knows the rules, disclaimers, etc. That company’s contact info is posted.
About being required to tan for each entry: Doesn’t Hollywood Tans provide a membership that provides unlimited tanning for a monthly fee? If they are requiring you to tan once for every entry you make, how are they charging you more? If anything, they are getting you to use the facility more frequently at their expense?
The rest very very confusing. If someone spent their “very last penny” on a tanning membership so they could be in a drawing for a sports car, I think they have bigger issues to deal with. If you had a bad experience with a particular employee, I’d suggest you contact the franchise owner and if that doesn’t work, call the Home Office.
Heather: It’s summer. The sun is shining. It might not award you a Porsche, but the tan is free!
