Welcome to American Sun Systems

YOUR ONE SOURCE FOR TANNING PRODUCTS & SOLUTIONS

Warm greetings to all and thank you for your interest in our company and product lines. As always, it is our goal to "deliver the goods" by providing what you are asking for. I trust, as you shop our Byer's Guide, that you will find those unique and innovative items that will truely set you apart from your competitors.

Growth - it's the piece of the puzzle that revels the bigger picture, so to speak. Our industry has experienced a lot of it over the past year; feeling it on every level from salons to manufacturers. Salons are expanding in a number of wayssuch as enlarging/updating their current facilities to opening new locations to acquiring other operations in order to gain more market share and consolidate fixed expenses. Collectively, we are all working smarter as an industry. This trend is healthy, positive and a vital part of the maturity process of any industry.

Image - it's a huge part of the puzzle that's very revealing as well. We all know, the perception of tanning has faced tremendous adversity for years (especially the past few) but on Saturday, October 13th 2007 at 4:00 PM, things started changing as Rick Berman did his presentation at the ITA show in Nashville. It was an emotional, profound & history-making hour as concerned tanning individuals committed to protecting what we all work for each day; securing our industry's future. The ITA has secured the public relations firm of Berman & Co. to "tell it like it is" in an effort to reveal positive & concrete information about tanning to the nation via television. This group of individuals enabled us to start the fight financially BUT its up to each salon to continue that effort. Join the ITA today & renew each year, read the newsletters& become an active part of your industry.

Relationships - another biggie, yet this is the one that is made up of so many little pieces. At American Sun Systems, we realize we couldn't have been successful without you. You complete the puzzle. For almost 25 years, we have prospered because of your loyalty; bonds are formed and relationships are forged. Because of our longevity & deep roots within the industry, we trust you can see the value in a salon distributor partnership; it's just smart business. Sales are important, but it's the day-to-day interaction that ensures overall success and as your partner, we have further committed to that success by adding some veteran players to our team.

Again, thank you . If this is your first time shopping American Sun Systems, please pick up the phone or email us. We would love to be your partner.

Warm Wishes and many blessings to you all in 2008
