Tanning.com, LLC and Domain Strategies, Inc. announced today the launch of a new marketing and information portal designed to educate consumers and generate leads for tanning salon owners at www.Tanning.com. The new site was developed to help people make moderate and responsible choices about sun exposure while helping new customers find the tanning salon that best meets their needs.

“After speaking with dozens of tanning salon owners, it was clear that they wanted help using the internet to get the word out about their products and services.” Explained Joe Snell, CEO of Tanning.com. “We paired the best domain name in the space, Tanning.com, with a site that contains objective information about tanning, a national directory of tanning salons and an innovative model for sending new customers to the salons. It’s a win-win-win for everyone involved.”

Some of the advantages salon owners will enjoy by partnering with Tanning.com include:

• A customizable profile page to highlight the unique aspects of their products & services at the individual store level. Especially important for tanning franchises
• Inclusion in the most comprehensive directory of tanning salons in North America
• New customers due to the search engine marketing and brand building planned for the Tanning.com domain.
• Assocation with an objective source of tanning information which will drive both visitors and new customers for reputable salons.

Domain Strategies partnered with Q3 Capital to create Tanning.com, LLC with Q3 Capital contributing the domain name and Domain Strategies contributing startup capital, executive leadership, business planning, hosting and business development relationships. Joe Snell, a seasoned internet entrepreneur with four previous companies under his belt, came on board to research the industry, define the business and build a site that will grow in features, depth and revenue over the coming years.
