I have to agree with John's statement...these guys are ruining the industry.

Why ?

I noticed that 'ad' on my facebook feed last night. One of my friends has booked it. (It must automatically come up on the wall once booked).
The annoying and upsetting thing about it is I've known this girl for years, cleaned her carpets twice before and she was happy with my service,  yet she has gone down the 'extremely cheap' route this time round 

Considering the majority of my work comes from previous customers, and lets say they all decide to desert us, I can only see worrying times ahead.

Hi Terry

Dont know if you keep an eye on Groupon but theres a guy in our area who has sold 100s of Deals, well over 500

Theres quite a few in our area who advertise on the buy/sell pages on facebook each one has a constant "sale/special offer".

I cant tar them all with the same brush because ive never seen all there work but theres one where ive been called in after him on a few occasions and the customers are astounded at the differance that can be achieved.

They arn't getting the cheapest if they have to have it done twice but how do we drum it into them?
My mothers a prime example i had this conversation with her yesterday, she didnt take my reccomendation on something and has now spent more trying to "save" money. But I dont think she'll ever learn.

Some people will waste £££ of fuel driving around petrol stations to save a few pence a litre 

It guys like these (spray some water suck it back up) that also help turn customers toward the demon laminate, believing carpeting is not practicle and maintainable.

We could always assemble a lynch mob and round them up
