By providing salon professionals with access to savings on lotions, equipment and accessories, the Indoor Tanning Buyers Group aims to live up to its slogan, “There’s power in numbers.”

David Kenney founded the Indoor Tanning Buyers Group in February 2006 with one purpose – to help fellow tanning salon professionals be more profitable. As a buyers group is designed, the ITBG offers its members savings on lotion and equipment purchases. Surely, that would be enough to attract many tanning pros to swell the group’s ranks; but David has even bigger plans. In its ongoing efforts to help salon operators be more profitable, he sees his Indoor Tanning Buyers Group evolving into a think-tank of salon professionals whose goal is to share ideas to help everyone’s business as a whole. With 50 members and growing, the group is definitely off to a good start!

Buyers Group Membership Passes 100!

PHILADELPHIA - In December 2006, The Tanning Buyers Group (TBG) exceeded the 100-member mark.

Commented David Kenney, President of TBG, “I want to thank all our current members who believed in us even before we did anything. We will continue working hard to create value for our members.”

TBG uses the buying power of its membership to secure pricing advantages and member exclusives from tanning industry suppliers. Created for the independent or small chain salon, Buyers Group membership gives the salon owner/operator advantages that are not possible to obtain on their own.

TBG is an association that strengthens the group’s individual members. TBG partners with well-known and widely used companies to offer discounts on their products and services. Membership is currently free.
