What most customers sign up for

« **on:** January 12, 2012, 09:42:13 pm »

Hi Guys Im interest in finding out if schedules requested by customers are getting longer. ive had a lot over recent months that are want once in 2/3 months. Many are wanting 6 weeks or more longer and more often for me 8 weekly.

i try whereever possible to impose a min clean price of 10/12 quid as i feel, when doing costings, that barely worth doing for less.

Do you find with new customers they are totally led by you and if you are steadfast in what schedules you offer does this ever put people off?

Please fill the poll so we can see current trend?

i offer 4, 8 and 12 wkly and one off cleans. nothing else EVER!!!

4 wkly min charge £10 (unless its two windows or something daft. then its £5 min charge)

8 wkly = 25% increase

12 wkly 50% increase

one off 100% increase

prices are pants round my way on average so custards go for monthly, if i was charging £10/12 per average semi then they wouldnt be having them done monthly

there is places that you could get better prices but my furthest house is 5 miles away and anywhere in that area is same price wise,id have to travel bit further 10-15-20 miles whatever and wouldnt be worth it unless i had 5 - 10 jobs go clean make it worth while

most new customers(larger houses)sign up for 6 weekly or 8 weekly.i offer this frequency from the off as i put a good price in and they usually go for it.

on compact estate work then monthly is the norm as their only paying £6-£10 a month.

Had some work in Blythe Bridge, Meir Park, Meir Heath, Weston Coyney. Everything from £7.00 up to £20.00.

I don't clean windows anymore but there is plenty of money to be liberated from the area and my earnings were at the top end of the scale.

I looked after Britannia Building Society head offices in Leek and had work coming out of my ears.

Don't believe that you cannot make top end earnings in the area because that is just not the case. I am over in Kingsley and rural may be an option.

not saying everything is £6 but my best priced houses are £20 in blythe got lots of £7 -£10's some £15 's aswell etc just majority is £6 stuff,should really leaflet other areas like barlaston,trentham and just try my luck @ pricing higher but i just think £1 a window is steep in stoke,got a full-ish round now so should think price higher if i get them sound but no loss if not
