I know.....

Increase you Price by 100% and then lose 50% of your customers, then you wont have to do as much work..

sounds good.... then you can earn more still by filling the gaps with overpriced work..... quids in all around ?)

[Tim82]

..then lose half of the increased priced customers and you're back to square one!

[seandyer2003]

i dont think the current economic climate is the greatest environment in which to be sacking customers off at that rate, but if you do let me know, i will have them

[jodan63]

[lovewindows]

Only 50% increase ! that will give me another £5 a day then. so pray tell

[windowwashers]

Changing from 4 weekly to 8 weelkly and increasing the price by 50%.


A lot of the time it works.....


Am I right ?

[Sir Squeaky]

I know.....

Increase you Price by 100% and then lose 50% of your customers, then you wont have to do as much work..

If you increase your prices by 100% you won't lose 50%.

More like 95%.

I have to agree there 100% increase unless you dont care if they leave would be 110% madness because you would lose more than you keep

[pjulk]

I would love to increase my takings by 50% come on dave spill the beans 

[Dean Taberner]

Yeah ok. Why not?

the way you can increase your takings is by cleaning fascia boards at 2 monthly intervals after doing the initinal clean they are a stroll in the park just a quick brush over , 1st clean charge a good rate , then charge a fixed rate of say £10 per 2 months , £10 minght not be a lot but its money for a quick brush over , ive increased my mates income over the last 2 weeks by £1800 with a regular fascia board clean , you will be surprised how many people want this done .

[Tom Mac]

Just the facia boards or soffits and barge boards as well

[Brian Nunn]

What do you mean when you say a quick brush over? I assume you are WFP.

If trad then they need wiping with a soapy cloth and then drying a couple of times with dry cloths, including the underside of the gutters and the soffits this is a lengthy job even at every 2 months.

, initial clean do all the lot , then do just the fascia and front edge of gutter if you notice any muck build up .

yes mate im wfp , if trad use a extension pole with a applicator , if you keep the fronts clean its really rare that you get dirt build up on the bottoms of gutter and soffit .
