It means if you dont put your prices up each year you are effectively taking a pay cut.

not sure .

last increase was 2 years ago , put the whole round up approx 20% and only lost a habndfull + a couple change from 4 to 8 weeks .

obviously all new customers come in at a slightly higher price ( what new price would / will be ) .

im niether the cheapest or dearest , so for now , i think , correctly priced .

The question to ask is will I grow my business this year? Will I find new business and still have my expences go up even more? Am I happy earning less money. Do I live on an island ? Am not exposed to the same inflaction and much higher fuel cost just like others or was I overcharging so much in the last few years so I dont need an increase. Or am a spineless wimp to farefull of my customers and my costomers realy run my business.I only slave for them. ??? ???    YES I WILL DO WHAT`S GOOD FOR MY BUSINESS> ??? ??? ??? ;D ;D

ive been informing customers recently that as from the next clean, the price will be going up £1.
 ive only been doing this to the customers that i think is slightly under charged.
 had no complaints yet.

not this year only had my round for a year some is a bit underpriced, new work is better priced,at the moment iv got 300 custys, 95%  that are done every 5 weeks takes me 4 days a week complete,iv picked quite a few up last year from about 3000 leaflets and people just seeing me and asking to do theres,so this year when iv got spare time il be leafleting again so im overfull this time next year then will be putting underpriced stuff up in april,thats the plan anyway
