When maintaining an older bed stops making commercial sense
Our relationship with Platinum Tanning initially centred around servicing and maintaining some of the salon's older equipment.
But every salon owner understands the commercial reality of downtime: when a sunbed isn't operating, it isn't generating revenue, and repeated faults can also create queues, disruption and additional pressure on the rest of the salon floor.
After several call outs and servicing visits, the owner asked J Solutions for advice. The decision was made to replace an older Ergoline Affinity 600 with a megaSun 7800 Alpha Hybrid.
Keeping older equipment running can make sense until repair costs, downtime and lost sessions begin affecting the business. The right time to upgrade is a commercial decision, not simply an aesthetic one.
Introducing the 7800 Alpha Hybrid helped address the reliability issue while giving Platinum another strong premium option for customers and helping relieve pressure during busy periods.
The upgrade didn't simply replace an older machine. A newer premium sunbed gave existing customers something different to try while helping attract additional interest to the salon.
Sometimes the value of an upgrade isn't just what you save on repairs, it's what the new equipment can generate.
