Loss Control Services for Our Tan Pro Customers

You finally made it. Owning your own tanning salon can be a rewarding proposition and fantastic business opportunity. Tanning salon owners are in the business to provide a service. A service thought of with smiles and warmth in mind. So you have the license, your insurance is with Thomco's Tan Pro program, you have a good customer base, what else is there? Protecting your business in a competitive marketplace is important and is more involved than licensing, insurance, and customers. Avoiding losses that can bring negative media or public attention is essential to business longevity. In service industries negative publicity from a single loss can have devastating business consequences.

Thomco understands the unique challenges to controlling the risk of losses at tanning salons. Loss Control Services for our Tan Pro customers are designed to target the losses we see in the industry nationwide. Our programs offer customers the opportunity to identify exposures they might not have thought of and we offer solutions to help control those exposures to avoid losses. We understand our customer's interest is in providing services. At Thomco we are committed to helping our customers concentrate on their business services.

Loss Control Services for our Tan Pro Customers can be custom designed to meet individual salon needs. By following the links to articles, recommended policies, inspection guidelines, and industry websites our Tan Pro customers can tailor their own loss control programs or allow us to put together a guideline of recommended risk management practices based on your operation. The website material will be updated periodically to provide information on loss trends and industry hot topics. There is also a link to a public forum where clients may post comments, share ideas, and make inquiries to seek solutions or provide answers to industry challenges. We encourage you to visit the site often. Our Loss Control professionals are available to assist with customer questions and respond to recognized industry and customer needs.
