Hi chaps,
Just interested in your opinion on what time of the year would be best for increasing window cleaning prices and why?

You can probably do it any time but if I had to name one I would go for March through May because April is when pensioners get an increase in their state pension. Don't forget they have had a minimum 2.5% for a few years now under the "triple lock" guarantee.
Maybe not December through February because Xmas spending and it's aftermath is on many people's minds.

March-April is the new financial year. So do it then.

October.
If you do it right (put the prices up enough) you'll lose some customers, best time for that is just as the clocks change.
You should be looking to be turning over a wee bit more for less work following a price increase, you can then fill in the gaps with new work at your new prices once you've got winter out of the way.

March April time people are starting to think about spring cleaning and getting a window cleaner if they haven’t got one so if you loose a few jobs by putting up the price there will be more work very quickly to replace it 😂😂😂win win
