Clean three piece suite

« **Reply #20 on:** June 29, 2006, 04:50:44 pm »

The way i see it is, some people think their Marks & Spencers and some the corner discount shop,

There's room in this world for all :

All this nonense of dictating what every one should be charging is pathetic, everyone has a different lifestyle, locality and needs.

discount shops can make money the same way M & S can!

Competition is good , it stops the rip off merchants.

If some want to charge £40 for a suite, i say good on them if they can afford to do it

P.S. - i charge a bit more than that

steve

True true also depends where you live also. I live in a town and could not possibly charge city prices.

Lots more money in a city duh

who says theres more money in a city?

the people who can't get a decent price for suite cleaning.

moneys everywhere from the biggest city to the smallest village. I bet if you could find out where all the millionaires live in this country more would be living in small communities than in big cities.

Lots more competion in a City and bigger poorer areas, in a posh town they are all rich and have fewer cleaners to call so no competion, word of mouth is better because people don't ignore each other like they do in Cities.

Can i take it you live in a City

Yes I do live in a city but also do very lucrative work in towns and villages.

If you had £millions would you live in the city?

Banks definition of a millionaire, is one who earns a minimum £100k per annum, well it was, when I was in the rat race! Nearly there! But mine is based on assets.

John,

I lived in Gosforth in a Hotel while I was waiting for my House to be built.

« **Reply #34 on:** July 03, 2006, 05:56:56 pm »

Which one? I live in North Gosforth next to the Marriott. No I'm not a millionaire

« **Reply #35 on:** July 03, 2006, 06:09:14 pm »

I did stay at the Marriot.

But then changed to one that showed porn videos in 1985

Then I think the one I stayed six months at was called Kellys
i think Mr Kelly died so it probably flats now. My memory of it was my son wakeing up wo was about three saying its raining on my head The roof sprang a leak.

Come to think of it that might have been in Jesmond.

Gosforth has a Park?

I also remember having all my stock of Jeffrey Archer books being hijacked for a Conservitive party function he was attending at the Marriot.

Just two thoughts relating to earlier replies about how much to charge.
I have a client who is a solicitor Charges £200 per Hour plus £90.00 per hour travelling time so if he visits you and it takes him half an hour there and back and an hours chat £290.00. He's very very busy !!!!
I gave a quote to a lady I've cleaned for once before shes renting out her house and moving from the area five rooms in total I won't tell you what i quoted but she missheard me and thought I said £ 1075 she didn't say NOOOOO she asked if I missed of the study how much she was still considering having the job done
What I would say is pricing is and individual thing but I think I do I very good job and provide a very good service and because of that I think and more importantly my clients think I should be paid a good price!
Any Comments welcome.

Hi Guys,

At the local private hospital consultants will charge up to £600/hour , doesn't make £100 per hour seem too expensive does it.

I think it is often us who restrict our prices not the customers, alright if you charge more you will get less customers but provided your overall take is as good or better then go for it.

Remember higher prices means more time to spend on getting higher priced customers.

Cheers

Doug

Tomh you can have a city without a cathedral. A city with one is known as a Cathedral city. I live in a town (LLanelli) and have a city (swansea) 10 miles away and I find people are more willing to pay higher amounts where I live than in Swansea , I think its due to having only two of us in yp in Llanelli but about 30 in Swansea.
