When the Sun Meets the Water… Tanning Salon Industry Diversifies with SpaCapsule

When the Sun Meets the Water… Tanning Salon Industry Diversifies with SpaCapsule

Many salon owners are realizing that diversification is essential to steady profit centers.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) August 17, 2006

The tanning industry has evolved from a being a single bed in the corner of a gym, to tanning salons offering full lines of products as well as many amenities you would normally find at a health spa type establishment. The huge growth in the tanning industry has necessitated that salons provide unique services to differentiate themselves and provide a competitive advantage. By adding ancillary services to an existing tanning salon, owners are creating multiple streams of income and providing customers with a complete source for all of their body care needs. In fact, many salon owners are realizing that diversification is essential to steady profit centers.

Tanning salons have a loyal customer base, which come to their facility to achieve a great-looking tan while relaxing and getting a little "me time." Many salons are offering a number of ancillary services that can help add additional revenue with a minimal investment of money and staff. A SpaCapsule® hydro-massage unit fits this profile perfectly - providing a wide range of health benefits and adding additional revenue to the bottom line without having to deal with additional staff.

In a recent study on the tanning industry, 92% of the tanners said that indoor tanning made them feel rested - the warmth and peace is relaxing. In addition, 91% felt that indoor tanning allowed them to take a break from stress - where cell phones, pagers and other high-tech modern intrusions can't reach them. Finally, 84% reported that they tan indoors because of the warmth - a factor especially important during the peak winter months.

In a separate survey, 96% of tanners said that they enjoy massage, 84% would pay for the ability to get an “unlimited massage” program and 99% felt massage was a good gift.

These are precisely the type of customers who readily value the numerous benefits of regular massage sessions in a SpaCapsule®.

“SpaCapsule® has improved my traffic and improved my cash flow.” stated Jimmy Lipscomb, Kahakai Tanning.

SpaCapsule® requires minimal maintenance and can pay for itself in less than 4 months. The Company has recently extended its standard warranty to two years and sales are increasing at a dramatic pace. “We are seeing dramatic increases in our web traffic and our sales inquiries” stated Jeff Greene, VP of Sales. “Tanning Salons have been among our most active industries to embrace SpaCapsule® as an additional service to their customers and more money for their bottom line.”

New Health Treand in American Homes

New Health Treand in American Homes

The sauna business is hot; new trend is heating up AmericaÂ’s homes.

LAKEWOOD, CO (PRWEB) September 21, 2005 -

As baby boomers continue to get older and Generation X officially turning 40 this year, a hot new trend is developing across the nation: Far infrared sauna sales are heating up. In fact, according to Aqua Magazine far infrared sauna sales have been rising rapidly at more than 50 percent each year for the last 2 years.

According to David Floyd of LuxSauna Inc., based in Lakewood, Colorado, the increase in sauna sales is due to a number of factors: health benefits, detoxifying, weight loss; as much as 600 calories are burned during a 30 minute session, as well as its healing affects on arthritis, back pain and other body aches and pains.

The benefits of traditional saunas have been known for over 2000 years in various countries from Finland to Japan to Turkey. Thanks to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, the health-promoting effects of far infrared saunas might finally get a bit more of the attention they deserve. Far infrared saunas are sort of the "new kid on the (sauna) block," having become very popular in Japan over the past century. Far infrared saunas are a bit different than the traditional hot rock or steam versions. Far infrared waves warm things without actually heating up the air in between the heat source and the object. So in a far infrared sauna, the air is warm and dry and the infrared heat penetrates deeper and faster into the human body, as opposed to the humid, surface heat of traditional saunas.

Americans are just now discovering the health benefits of the new infrared saunas and are responding in droves, adding them to their homes. In fact, saunas are rapidly becoming a “must have” in many American households.

“First it was the hot tub, then a home office, then a media room now the must have in many homes is the sauna room,” explained Floyd. “People are making specific places in their homes for the sauna or are renovating certain areas such as a bathroom to include the sauna.”

With the new technology of the infrared saunas, Americans are saving money and time as well as adding an investment to their home. The new saunas are ready to use in less than five minutes (lower electric bills); more compact – allowing homeowners to use them in smaller areas; and the temperature is lower by 100 degrees – making the sauna more tolerable for longer periods of time.

“The saunas themselves are now lower in price,” says Floyd. “And they’re more pleasant to be in – they all come with an AM/FM compact disk player to entertain while soothing you to a healthier body.”

Located in Lakewood, Colorado, LuxSauna is a privately owned company that specializes in a variety of infrared saunas. The company sells more than 300 saunas per month across the country. Their website is located at www. luxsauna. com.

ARX Promotes Digital Signatures at China's SFDA Conference

ARX Promotes Digital Signatures at China's SFDA Conference

Dr. Gadi Aharoni, CEO of digital signature solutions provider, ARX, will join other life science industry leaders for a week long training session for the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) and other stakeholders in the growing Chinese pharmaceutical supply marketplace. The event will be held December 15-19, 2007 in Hainan, China.

Hainan, China (PRWEB) December 17, 2007

Dr. Gadi Aharoni, CEO of digital signature solutions provider, ARX, will join other life science industry leaders for a week long training session for the Chinese State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) and other stakeholders in the growing Chinese pharmaceutical supply marketplace. The event will be held December 15-19, 2007 in Hainan, China.

The event focuses on Good Clinical Practice (GCP) compliance and related GxP topics such as good documentation best practices, preparation for regulatory audits, and current technology trends particularly in the clinical trial space. Dr. Aharoni will discuss the best practice of using digital signatures (standard electronic signatures) within an enterprise or even cross enterprise-wide strategy for regulatory compliance and other tangible business benefits such as expedited processes, reduced operational costs, and the added value of "going green" with paperless operations.

The timing of this event follows a year marked by well-publicized food and drug safety concerns that have damaged China's credibility on the international stage. In the past year the Chinese SFDA has revoked licenses of several drug manufacturers since last July, and also withdrawn the Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certificates from over 100 drug makers greatly reducing their capability to export active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to the rest of the world. This past summer Zheng Xiaoyu, former director of SFDA, was sentenced to death by a Beijing court citing dereliction of duty as one of numerous charges against him.

The SFDA is now expanding the number of GMP inspectors in pharmaceutical factories and monitoring the production quality of drug manufacturers across the country. The SFDA Training event is another step towards educating the Chinese food and pharmaceutical market on the best practices and technology trends - such as the use of digital signatures - in other parts of the world. The primary sponsor for this event is clinical trial data services provider Medidata Solutions, and includes many recognized industry thought leaders with expertise in GxP and related technology strategies. Dr. Aharoni was recognized in 2006 as one of the Top 100 Influencers by readers of PharmaVoice, and ARX is recognized as a leading digital signature solutions provider within the life sciences sector.

IRS Scrutinizing Not-for-Profit Pay Practices; Board Members, Trustees, Officers and Directors May Face Penalties

IRS Scrutinizing Not-for-Profit Pay Practices; Board Members, Trustees, Officers and Directors May Face Penalties

Hay Group identifies 12 questions for not-for-profit management and boards to consider when setting executive compensation and benefit programs.

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) November 8, 2005

As the Taxpayer Bill of Rights 2 enters its 10th year, the IRS is expanding its scrutiny of thousands of charities and private foundations to collect information on their compensation practices and procedures. While some not-for-profits have heeded the warning of the IRS and been proactive in ensuring their practices are sound and compliant, many have not, and are exposed to the risk of penalty and bad publicity.

Through its research and extensive work with not-for-profit firms, Hay Group (http://www. haygroup. com), a global organizational and human resources consulting firm, has found that some charities and tax exempt organizations are unprepared for the level of IRS scrutiny and the extent of work that needs to be done to make sure the compensation practices are appropriate.

“Board members of not-for-profits – just like their for-profit peers – must realize their roles and responsibilities when it comes to executive compensation,” said Adam E. Meyers, Vice President and Director of Hay Group’s Not-for-Profit Practice. “There are a number of key questions that boards and executives must consider when developing these plans or pay potential penalties.”

Key sectors affected by this are hospitals and healthcare systems, educational institutions, community service organizations, and foundations.

Stakeholder Expectations

Fairness is a key consideration when reviewing pay practices and issues regarding executive reward structures. Other issues include insurance, retirement, and deferred compensation.

Boards should be prepared to answer the following questions:

1. Are compensation plans, approval processes, and reporting sufficiently transparent?

2. Is the board governance process on compensation appropriate?

3. Do executive benefit programs conflict with all-employee benefit policies?

4. Are the severance payments appropriate for voluntary and involuntary termination?

5. Are compensation programs tax compliant?

Strategy, Environment, and Operational Performance

“While many not-for-profit organizations want to attract the best talent to their executive ranks and compensate them appropriately, the compensation plan must still be competitive with executives in the relevant peer group,” said Meyers.

Hay Group recommends that these organizations ensure that all elements of the reward structure for their executives are appropriately aligned with their internal and external competitive environments (questions 6-8) as well as with the organization’s operational strategy and performance (questions 9-12).

6. Is the compensation internally equitable?

7. Is it appropriately balanced for both short - and long-term reward and motivation?

8. Is it reflective of the scope of operations?

9. Does the plan encourage and reward ethical and appropriate behaviors?

10. Are goals and rewards tied to significant improvements in key metrics?

11. Are plans comprehensive and comprehensible?

12. Does pay correlate with performance?

Organizations are no different than people when it comes to being contacted by the IRS. As such, boards and executives want to ensure that they are prepared to respond to any such inquiry with confidence. Hay Group has helped a number of not-for-profit organizations, particularly in the healthcare sector, establish reward structures that meet IRS standards, reflect the organization’s philosophy, and are fair to executives and stakeholders alike.
