COUNTDOWN TO XMAS
« on: December 03, 2006, 10:26:06 am »
Hi All,

Just wondered how business was looking for the Christmas countdown in CC land. We are about a week in front but, to be honest it is not as busy as I would like. How about the rest of you?

Cheers

About 2 weeks out at the moment but week before Xmas still completley clear.

Much better than last year.

Nobody seems to want cleaning that close to Christmas.

Cheers

perhaps a message for new carpet cleaners would be

save your money as January can be quiet, also the BT phone bill comes and the TAX PERSON ;D

save for the raining that will probably come.

I Agree....... Jan was ok this year but feb and march weren't good. Novembers takings are in a seperate account for such eventualitys and i,m squared up with Mr taxman. A nice position to be in  :) :)

Excellent advice Shaun

Benny

What sort of advertising are you doing, I know you are local to me and I am really busy,

If you need any help just give me a call or mail.

We do have a few spaces available at the moment but we are pretty booked up until the 19th Dec.
Also have a large job to complete sometime over the Xmas break (approx 600 sq mtrs),this is a key job so can take my time.
