What is the deal?

[craignozza]

Two rooms for £28 through lounge classed as two rooms and hall stairs and landing classed as two also hallway alone classed as one room..oh also dave wand got posted today be with you by wedensday 

[davep]

Thanks for that, maybe email tracking number if you have one.

I bet this thread is going to go nuts 

So you are getting around £12 per job?  Is this because your quiet or looking to build up your client list?

[craignozza]

bit quiet and thought why not  theres no harm in trying something once he who dares wins ... " I hope "    also i have a look for tracking number and send over to you cheers

[davep]

Ta, have you limited the number of deals you can sell?

[craignozza]

Yep 300 but they said prob only about 250 will be redeemed - voucher is valid over 6 months and have limited areas by postcode - before in this area people have done it within a 30 mile radius and sold 300 so hopefully we should have been able to restrict it that way.

[wynne jones]

So they all could want it done for Christmas then?

[craignozza]

 we take the bookings direct from the customer and decide when they can have work done and most likley we will save xmas dates for our regular and better paying customers

[jasonl]

You will probably get a few calling on the day to ask this or that question , always a good idea to book them direct , ie  get the full £28.

[craignozza]

Jason - cheers hadnt thought of that 

[markpowell]

£28 for SHL or Lounge / Diner.
Surely these prices cant be worth getting out of bed for, by the time the costs of running a business are taken out.

Lol - Shut up Phil  If I wasnt a TACCA mem then you prob wouldnt have much to say! Made it so deal has covered my costs and Im doing it for the upsell  - should be interesting 

[jasonl]

I simply say ---- This promotion on Groupon is a sample of what we can do , our customers like a deal and if you give these cards to your friends and family they can have a good deal too , I got a lot of work from Groupon customers like that.

why 300? why not 60 then you can judge the response without over-stretching your self

Wey hey, you sound like a teenager   What abit of a downer for a TACCA member who has to 'scrape the barrel' to make a living like this   And I thought it said on their website that they look for quality companies

Mark - The amount I get from Groupon will cover my running costs, its going to 315,000 email addresses in this area for effectively nothing cost wise whereas leafleting that many would cost ££? and Ive set up a web page on my site dedicated to groupon customers. When we book them in we are doing the hard sell thing pushing other rooms, rugs and stain protection at another discounted rate. On the day we have a form for their details, referral recommendations and vouchers for their family / friends. We are also members of a thing called checkatrade and want to get some good feedback for our page on their so will be asking custy to fill out that as well. We were wondering whether to do this for a while and couldnt decide but in the end thought as long as it is approached properly then why not?

Exactly what we have geared up to do, if approached right we think this could be a good thing. If not lesson learnt, no harm done.

They work it out by asking how many jobs per week you were happy to do for the deal. This over a 6 month period was worked out to 240 but capped instead, at 300 as a certain % dont normally go through with the deal.


but isn't there real motivation to make as much money as possible out of the deal........ so they really want you to do the maximum number as possible and they would rather get half of 300 deals than half of just 60

and they get their money with 24hrs (as soon as they buy the voucher)
