Offers & rewards
Better value the more you tan
No membership fee, no contract and nothing that auto-renews without you asking. Buy minutes when you want them, go unlimited when it works out cheaper, and collect towards free sessions either way.
VIP Rewards
Every fifth session is on us
Collect a stamp for every session you take, whatever length you book. Five stamps and your next session is free. Then the card starts again.
There is nothing to join and nothing to pay. Ask at reception on your next visit and you will be given a card — it lives in your purse, not in an app, and it does not expire while you are still using it.
1
Pick up a card
Free, at reception, on your next visit. Nothing to sign.
5
Collect five stamps
One per session, whatever length you book.
6th
Free session
Claimed in salon. Then you start a fresh card.
A free session follows the same daily limits as a paid one — see how often you should tan.
Where the value actually is
Unlimited, or minutes?
The honest answer depends entirely on how often you come in, so here is the arithmetic rather than a recommendation.
Pay as you go
80p
per minute
No commitment at all. Right if you tan occasionally, or before one event.
Minute bundles
from £22
30 minutes and up
The per-minute rate falls as the bundle grows — the 150-minute bundle works out lowest per minute. Minutes are yours to use across any bed.
Unlimited
£70
per month, max 12 minutes a day
Worth it from roughly ninety minutes a month upwards. Fortnightly is £40 if you want a shorter run before a holiday.
Proposed
Four more worth considering
None of these are running. They are here because they are the offers that work in this trade, they cost little to operate, and each one solves a problem the salon actually has.
Referral
Bring a friend, both get minutes
Free minutes for the person who introduces someone and for the person introduced. It is the cheapest acquisition a salon has, and it rewards the regulars who already do it for nothing.
Students
Term-time rate on production of a card
Rugby has a sizeable student population and they tan in bursts around events and holidays. A modest standing discount is usually enough.
Gift cards
Minutes as a present
Straightforward to run, paid for up front, and it brings in people who would not have walked past. Worth pairing with the clinic next door.
Quiet hours
Cheaper minutes when the beds are empty
A bed sitting idle earns nothing. A discounted mid-morning or mid-afternoon rate moves demand off the evening peak without discounting the sessions that would have sold anyway.
Going away
Which package suits a holiday
The two questions worth answering before you buy anything are how long you have and how your skin behaves. Someone with six weeks and someone flying in ten days want completely different packages, and the more expensive one is not automatically the right one.
With a few weeks in hand, fortnightly unlimited at £40 usually covers it comfortably, because the daily cap matters more than the total. With less time, a minute bundle is normally better value than an unlimited period you cannot fill. Build gradually either way — a burn a week before you fly is the one outcome nobody wants, and how quickly colour develops varies between individuals.
And a sunbed is not sun protection. You will still need SPF when you get there.
Before a holiday?
Come in and talk to us about timing. Building colour gradually over a few weeks is a different plan from a fortnight before you fly, and the sensible answer depends on your skin.
