It's that time of year again lads! ;D
I've still got 74 cards from last Xmas all sealed and stamped so I'll only need another 130 or so (I'll commence posting them on Mon 5th Dec)so I'll only post them on the 3 weeks work thats due before Xmas.... 8)

I have never given a Christmas card to any of my customers since i started 13 years ago...
Far too much hassle ;D

I only started sending them a few years ago but I really appreciate my customers and it helps massively with tips (now i dont collect anymore).i still usually get £500+ tips every year which comes in handy.ive even got my own stamp now so no hand writing out 200+ cards! ;D(which I used to do a few years ago!)

I appreciate my customers too but that doesn't include bum licking for tips ;D

You're worse than my Mrs. She's written all our cards and wrapped all the presents already and it's not even fireworks night yet!
I think the amount of Xmas tips we get this year will be an indicator as to how the economy is. Get the same as last year and we're alright 👍
-
Ive already had £457 in tips for this year and £244 for Christmas next year.

Might be me but not being bothered to write your name and having a stamp instead is imo pretty impersonal . Bit like getting a Christmas card from the estate agents

Did you do slightly too many cards when you did an extra 74 last year, Daz?

I thought they were having King Charles on them when the Queen died ???.
Could they not get his ears on?

So, you went to the Maldives to have a nice relaxing time with your hot Mrs and you spent most of it checking replies on a window cleaning forum and writing 329 postcards? The mind boggles.

C’mon Bungle, were you born yesterday? He’s obviously kidding………………isn’t he?😆

There are certain Customers who will give you a Card with your Tip in .
They deserve a card back . Especially if they live on there own Hubby or Mrs passed away. They will be overjoyed you have remembered them . and drop them a card off.
Once you start doing this they will be expecting it every year haha.
Its just a way of showing your appreciation for being a loyal paying customer

Hello Daz
The way the price of stamps is going you’ll be out of pocket
I have a sticker the size of a 50p
I stick it on the back of the customers bill envelope
Sticker has a picture of Father Christmas
Reads merry Christmas from dcs window cleaning
If there in I wish them merry Xmas
Last year was a record £600
I think 🤔 I worked out £2 for every customer average last year was over £3
Only find 20-30% of customers tip
And it’s time sensitive to about 3 weeks before Xmas mainly
As have had same customers tip 1 year and not the next only thing different was how close to Xmas their clean was
I’m not expecting much this year 😀
Cost of living

I use an ink stamp not actual stamps from the post office mate!(to stamp inside the Xmas cards).😄😄
I use small square Xmas cards.costs me around £15 for 200.i post them when I clean their windows on the last clean before Xmas.(I start next week)
-
Just be lucky if you keep the majority of you’re work this year though eh lol,I wouldn’t be expecting any tips at all although when it is anything it’s wine etc don’t you know people with money don’t tip cash it’s a gesture 🤣🤣.
-
You star 🤩Daz
I thought my way was pretty good
Hats off to you
Where do you get the mini Xmas cards 👍
-
We don't do xmas cards for customers but suffice to say we do get a few from them including the usual chocolates, wine and biscuits etc
-
I used to give out Xmas cards to all of our customers, but then i realised that it appears only about 10% actually seem to care, and we spend alot of money on the xmas cards as they are fully company branded.
I decided last year to just give out xmas cards to our favourite customers, and the money i saved i gave to our staff as a christmas bonus which was a decent chunk of money. That seemed to work out well!
-
I don't give out Christmas cards because:
1. I can't be bothered and
2. I think the customer then feels obliged to give you a card (which is an unnecessary burden).
However, booze and gifts are wholeheartedly accepted.
Every year I tell my customers, that the money I would have spent sending out cards for them and my other customers, is now sent to charity.
Every year our family donates about £95 ish for 'Crisis at Christmas'.

You’re on the wrong forum obviously.
