A cheap uniform can be just as bad as no uniform, a professional uniform on the other hand looks and gives of a professional image, you cannot justify a price because of a uniform this would be more on the quality of work etc etc if you do a better job than others then there is a cost involved, if you are bad at you job and try and change a high price you will lose your customers to a pro every time

fair play thought u were saying its no good lookin the part if my work is shoddy,haha,but i get what u say

which i find difficult cause its takin me quite a while to grasp this job with out leaving marks and stuff,and some days i dont earn my potential ,cause i started out in the dark and dont want to over price and have probly underpriced,gonna try differently for my next area.

everone says its easy but i worry about charging to much and having no custom although people round here struggle to get a cleaner and as far am i am aware i am the only person who gets cards printed and takes them round potential areas.

as i know myself i can earn a lot w/c so i wouldnt want a cheap uniform . buy a good one to start with whats the point going out every other week to get a new one . thats my opinion . buy quality and be smart .
