Going back to trad fulltime
« on: April 01, 2008, 05:28:07 pm »
Hi

 ive been thinking about this for a while now. i turned wfp about 2 years ago at the time it was great but as time has

 gone by ive been doing more and more trad work with better results.

Evan customers have said that they prefer trad to wfp.

i know its a bit naughty but i know where there is a lot of work thats done by wfp and am thinking of undercutting him by about a quid just to get his  work.

What does everyone else think

I'm trad so would say "welcome home" ;D

Personally I don't undercut. But there's nothing to stop you leafleting offering a trad service. Then if they contact you that's different IMO.

IMO if you want to go back to trad its up to you, but it wouldnt  ;) wfp is going to be the norm in the future,
and as for undercutting a fellow shiner i think that is not on (imo)
how would you feel if you had put all your effort into building up that wfp work  :-\ and some tradish guy undercuts you  ??? >:( >:(
i would not be happy.  >:(

HE WAS A BIG FAT SLAPHEAD WHO LACKED MY EASY CHARM AND NATURAL CHARISMA.......BUT AT LEAST HE WAS CHEAP ;D ;D ;D ;D
