Without making this some long drawn out post I need to take a second to explain to any of the first time readers that don’t subscribe to my rss feed caught up on a few things. Those of you coming through my blog for the first time might be wondering why I would be blogging about indoor tanning salons or specifically, Extreme Tan and Smoothies. I write blog posts every once in a while about events, marketing and small business tips related to indoor tanning salons and our chain of six tanning salons in the Tampa Bay area.
Now that everyone is pretty much caught up to the same speed we can get down to a few pictures that Kandra was nice enough to share since I wasn’t motivated enough to take any pictures…. Grrrr.
Anytime we have milestones or things that we feel deserve a party or a celebration at Extreme Tan and Smoothies we try to do something to say, “Thank you” to our associates. One of the things I really wanted to celebrate was our Clearwater tanning salon tanning over 56,000 tanners last year, our associates at that location have been crushing it for the last 15 months.
The Palms, Tampa Florida
Lakin, Kandra (Thank you) and Nermin
We headed over to one of my favorite places to chow down in Tampa, The Palms. Actually it’s one of my favorite places to chow down anywhere, not to mention the service is always beyond impeccable.

I tried taking this picture and managed to just get the glasses.
Big thanks to all of the girls from Extreme Tan and Smoothies Clearwater for an incredible year and a wild start to 2010, you girls are truly unreal.
P.s. Special thanks to Insane Limos and the Barbie Pink H2 Hummer limo, the best transportation in Tampa Bay

Nice work brother. How about helping me promote an entrepreneurship conference for aspiring entrepreneurs at the University of Tampa. You can sponsor it for free if you can help us get some attendees. I just know you do it best, that’s why I ask.

The king of promoting is my friend/biz partner in promoting – Bill aka http://www.thePromoter.TV http://twitter.com/thePromoterTV – just ask John
