Have you ever seen your clients naked? In this episode, we talk about how to stand out as a small fish in a big pond, the power of always being a student of your craft, and the realities of using third-party marketing services like Groupon or ClassPass. We sat down with Bree Lopez, Owner and Founder of the Bronzed Bungalow, a boutique spray tanning salon in Old Town Scottsdale. Let’s dive in.
As the vibrant force behind The Bronzed Bungalow, Bree Lopez is not just an entrepreneur; she’s a trailblazer in the spray tanning industry. Starting her journey amid the chaos of COVID-19, Bree had the unique experience of opening a business during a pandemic. She shares how she bootstrapped her business, beginning without the burden of rent, while carving out a niche in a competitive market. Her story exemplifies resilience, innovation, and the power of adaptability to tackle various challenges as a business owner.
One of the most compelling aspects of Bree’s journey is her ability to see opportunities where others might see obstacles. She emphasized that “nobody is going to love your brand like you do,” which highlights the passion, personal connections, and challenges you must overcome that are required to run a successful business. Bree shares the importance of staying disciplined, whether it’s always finding time to go to the time or managing the variety of behind the scenes administrative work that keep the business moving.
We explore how Bree’s past experiences inform her business strategy and how she’s always educating herself to stay ahead of the curve. She discusses the pros and cons of third-party marketing services such as ClassPass and Groupon and stresses why adaptability is essential in an ever-changing business landscape. Bree uses her youth to her advantage by connecting with different age groups, creating a vast clientele allowing her to develop her own self-tanner line, Rebel Soul.
