Who can join Tanning Buyers Group?

Tanning Buyers Group membership is ONLY for United States based salons that offer tanning services to their clients. Every salon is verified before their salons membership is approved.

How can Tanning Buyers Group save my salon money?

Tanning Buyers Group combines the massive buying power of hundreds of member salons. As a result TBG has smashed price barriers and gotten all of our single and small multi salon owners low pricing like the big guys get.

OK sounds interesting but what's the catch?

No catch. Really! As a Tanning Buyers Group member you can order as often as you would like. There are no purchase requirements of any kind.

Do TBG members have access to all the major brands or tanning lotion, lamps and equipment?

Our members have access to all the brands they want. Period. You can check out our partner suppliers page for more detail on the many suppliers we have partnerships with. But even that gets out of date fast. We are expanding very very fast. You need it? We will get it for you.

How do I place orders?

Online, Phone, Fax.

Tanning Buyers Group launched the FIRST industry ECommerce order system in 2004. That system is continously upgraded and remains our most popular order method for members. It is secure 24/7/365 and is very easy to use. Members can also phone in orders. Have us call for orders. Or use a fax machine .

Can I still use my current rep?

In some cases you may need to switch and work with one of our partner suppliers. But that is not exactly a negative. TBG has partnered with most of the largest suppliers in the industry so we probably already work with your favorite supplier. Additionally, TBG has dedicated account reps at every supplier and those people have been carefully choosen to provide the best possible experience. We prefer you use these folks because we know they are great people and they make very few mistakes. So, in most cases, we can dramatically improve your supplier relationship.

Can I choose who fills the order?

Absolutely! Online you select your supplier from a list, you can have TBG's order system source the order for you automatically or you can call that supplier directly.

Are my purchases eligible for manufacturer programs and specials?

Yes they are. We ONLY partner with manufacturer authorized suppliers. So there is no conflict. Manufacturers want salons to buy their products from legitimate suppliers. TBG only partners with approved suppliers. TBG actively works with all the major manufacturers to ensure best results and service.

Do you fill out all the rebate and or cashback paperwork for us?

No we do not. What we do is ensure the "runs" or invoice history for your salon is forwarded at the proper time to the proper manufacturer. We also provide the documents you need to fill out as a open download here on the site.

Beyond that you would need to gather your qualifying advertisement and ad invoices and mail them along with your completed application to the manufacturer in question. It really is all about gathering information that only you have. For us to oversee the process would take time and staff. For a fee we can do it for you if you just don't want to deal with it.

TBG membership strengthens the group’s individual members. Pooling each member’s purchase, with hundreds of independent and small chain salons, members are able to achieve larger discounts than stand-alone salons.

“We at the buyers group believe the industry is well on its way toward the completion of an evolution. In fact, TBG is a result of what I saw forming over the past few years. Larger chains are in many major markets and pushing hard. These companies bring a new way of doing business to the entire industry. Manufacturing & Distribution is also changing rapidly from smaller family run businesses to large corporations. Change brings great opportunity for growth. There are many fantastic locations to open a successful tanning salon and many ways to make more money in existing salons. The buyers group is designed to assist salon owners. We can help members develop a more profitable business by lowering costs and providing information that may prove critical to your success. If you can roll with the market and learn from others mistakes you can excel in today’s marketplace.” -David Kenney, Founder of TBG
