no one answered the question

I work 5-6 days a week 8-5 sometimes longer occassionally shorter, I've had a few days off in Jan for TM maintenance and van problems but I still am busy but not booked weeks in advance but Feb is different it's nearly full so it's time to think about putting the prices up, also I need to talk to Straker about that Green things ;D

Colin,

I think the more serious and sensible carpet cleaners would not publish 'actual figures' on a public forum.

Best Jan ever, secound best since I started. 50% offer is working so well carrying it on for Feb as it is normally the worst month of the year.

Had a long conversation with Dave Liaonna about this as I was concerned that it would not work, but he convinced me that it would even though some knocked the idea on hear. Thanks Dave.

Customer's really love the fact that they are getting a great deal for a workable price at a time of year that everyone wants to save money.

50% off your normal prices or have you increased to decrease?

Sounds like you put a lot of hard work in and it paid off. Excellent stuff.

How do you know it was the 50% off that made the difference?

Mike, I only did it for Newspaper adverts that I have every week with an Editorial. I always keep a check of my adverts and where the work comes from.

Google is as per normal with the offers on the Website that are different. It was hard work and a lot of Jobs because of the price cut but I was busy every day and not waiting for the phone to ring.

Cheers

Neil
