4 to 8 week note to custys
« on: September 07, 2014, 07:31:56 am »
I always tell custys face to face about increases and such . But I have quite a few I don't ever see . I'm just needing a short letter to post next time I clean them . Letting them know of a frequency change , 4 weeks to 8 weeks and also a price increase . What's the best way to word it . Cheers barry

4 to 8 and a price rise?
Could you not make the round work over 6 weeks instead, its a softer blow for the custard

You may lose some customers doing that but the price increase should cover it.

Why the change? Too much work?

Tony 6 weeks wouldn't work with me. 75% of my work is 4 weekly . The rest is 8 weekly , which are compacted with the 4 weeks .so it all fits in wel . But some streets are turning more 8 week so when they are not due it seems a bit silly to leave the. Handful of custys on 4 week .so I am just wanting to target a couple of areas at first and compact it back up with them all on 8 week cleans at a better price .and yes I do have plenty of work so it will give cut me a bit of slack . The last 2 years I haven't give any new custys a frequency choice .i just told them 8 weeks and the price . All seem happy with that .

Due to business reasons I will now be cleaning your windows every 8 weeks from the (  /  /  ).
The effectiveness of the wfp system I use means this will benefit both you, the customer, and myself. I can continue to offer an excellent service, despite being increasingly in demand, and you will save money, even allowing for a price increase of £.p
Your windows staying cleaner for longer means that you require fewer cleans, so it will cost you less for a bit of Barry/quality service.

It pays to be honest.


Dear customer,

Due to my increased workload I've decided I want to be making more money and working less hours.

So henceforth Im going to clean your windows on a 8 weekly frequency and increase your price to.......£

This should ensure my hourly rate is about £40 per hour and that will then in turn enable me to be home in time to watch Jeremy Kyle.

Kind regards,

Barry.
