As a salon owner, you know: profits come not just from sunbed sessions, but from what you sell to clients afterwards. Seasonal offers, gift ideas, and retail products are a key revenue stream. Here are top-selling stocking fillers and smaller gift‑style products that work perfectly for your salon – especially for clients who tan often or want to maintain their glow.
Why Salons Should Offer Gifts & Stocking Fillers
✅ Low-price, affordable products are easy for clients to pick up – even on a whim – so you often increase average spend per visit.
✅ They give your salon a “complete experience” vibe: not just tanning, but care, maintenance, and after‑care.
✅ They foster client loyalty: by offering lotions, extenders, accessories, you show you care about their results long-term, not just one session.
✅ Seasonal gift offerings (e.g. for Christmas, birthdays, holidays) encourage repeat visits and make your salon a go-to for “tan + treat” bundles.

How to Stock & Market These Products in Your Salon

Create “Glow Gift Packs” – Bundle together a tan extender, a TanShot, and an SPF lip balm. Great for holidays, birthdays, or “just because.”
Train staff to recommend products – For example: after a sunbed session, suggest a Hemp Nation tan extender and a TanShot to prolong the tan and enhance skin health.
Offer “starter packs” for new clients – A kit like Swedish Beauty’s Intro Kit can help ease newcomers into tanning, giving them everything they need in one bundle.
