In the amount of existing customers wanting my spot remover rather than having their carpets cleaned.Anyone else finding this if they give out free spotter?

Selling it at £9.99 a bottle so not bad one customer has just had 3 off me,in total this week sold 9 bottles to regular customers

I've noticed that I'm being asked for spotter more often too, been selling @£6, maybe I should go to £9.99 too?

If you make it yourself how long will it last (for example Nemesis) i believe the ones you buy are Stabalised or something so they keep good in the bottle?

Steve,

Is there a set up charge to add company logo to the bottles and do you have to buy a certain amount.

Regards Tony

Restormate do the logo set up for free and minimum order is 50 bottles. Just got 100 and they are really good quality! Ill be whacking them out at a tenner a bottle but with free lifetime refills as long as they get me back for work.

how good are the cleansmart cheaper spotter bottles, is it worth paying the extra for the full-strength deal?

Instead of selling at a 'shampoo' sell it as a spotter.

Ive had this problem.  Its more of a pain to drive to deliver the bottle regardless of what you charge.

Ive thought of using smaller bottles so its only a spot remover for a few spots and not something they use instead of me.

Mark has hit the nail on the head customer in Rowlands Gill wanted 2 but wanted them straight away when I explained I wouldn't be up there till next week she got a little angry,I suggested I send them by post which would be extra still not happy.Now its an hour round trip for £20 I don't think so

if i have to send spotter i take it to the post office, costs about £1.50
but everyone who has aked for one by post has always been more than willing to pay for p&p
