Sent all my customers letters now ready for feb offering 10% discount on all work booked before end of Feb, January has been better for us this year than ever before seems that people are keeping the carpets and suites they have rather than going out and buying new ones, hope the trend carries on.
How has 2008 compared for you and are you expecting the usual quiet Feb that we always seem to have.
I have to say how well the yellow pages is doing at the moment as well we have had 20 enquiries this month and converted around 15. Yell.com is a total waste of time and cant wait till june to knock it on the head.

Yes Jan has been very good, broke all records so I'm hoping for a great year. In saying that I don't have high hopes for Feb or May always really bad, Feb I can understand but why May?

[mark shannon]

My best Jan in a good few years

[Kev Loomes]

Jan better than most others, Feb is uncertain for most of us I guess. Although in saying that last year we had a blip & Feb was mental. Still cant work out why

[Mike Halliday]

I've had a good January, mainly due to me having 50,000 leaflets put out with a january specail offer.

[Doug Holloway]

[stevegunn]

£****, been giving £10 notes with my logo emblazed across them to pass onto relatives and friends

no one else forthcoming so removed figure

[Mike Halliday]

more than Steve

but spent £1200 on leaflets  printing & delivery to make it

so profit wise a bit less

But I'm happy with that for January

[Mike Halliday]

[Ian Rochester]
