I was on my walk and saw a truck in a neighbor's driveway, "Sun Power." I started to think about how popular tan booths still are, but how people don't have the time to get ready and go somewhere to do it. They want the tan, they can afford the money, but not the time or complicated scheduling with families.
Here's the idea:
Get a big truck - buy a tan bed - a good one. MOBILE SUN. You allow people to prepay and set appointments. They can go in on it with neighbors for 1/2 hour sessions. There is a "delivery" fee and then a per session fee. This would encourage multiple appointments in one driveway. Usually tanners have friends within walking distance who are tanners.
It could be a whole franchise thing. Sell exclusive areas and protect territories.
Obstacles:
Power. You can't very well ask people to unplug their driers to plug in the bed. Somehow, you have to have the power on board without a noisy generator or else you'll be in violation of CC&R's in many areas.
Won't work so well for apartment buildings either because of parking permissions, unless you are totally self-contained and quiet.
Permits in cities to offer the services
Insurance and CYA paperwork just as if you had a brick and mortar location.
Additional considerations:
You could offer minor child care for an additional fee if they are outside. But then your folks need to be bonded and pass background checks. They should anyway and have major liability insurance.
This idea was inspired by several neighbors who tan almost daily. They would dig this and would sign up. It does remove the spontaneous 'walk-in' tanners.
