I do a 3 for 2 sometimes and think the same as you, but at the end of the week if you tot up your winnings it's just as good if not better than a general ad.

There's plenty of work in any niche so long as you can tap into it effectively.

This kind of thing is all over the US I think if it were to happen then it would have to be professionalled up by Mark at DP print.

Am sure you could include h s l in the deal too :)

Mikes idea is a good one to generate just one hundred pounds a job and it would get the clients thinking to do bedrooms in the deal as well..

Trouble is the special offer would be out of date by the time you got the flyers back  :'(

If it meant doing 2 £100ers a day - thats £52k per year turnover - thats pretty good in my eyes.

That's only £63 at todays rates.

I will stick to quoting individualy in order to get the best possible price.
Dont get stuck in the trap of stating low prices, the results are busy fools with prices that have to get cheaper and cheaper as time goes on....as in usa

Just get some flyers printed up with the £99 special offer on. If it doesn't work then don't try again. It must be worth a shot surely? What do you have to loose?

Roger if making £100/hr makes you a busy fool then I wouldn't mind ;)

of course this is'nt for everybody, but its another example of how to create business and it stops what I think is the most unprofitable part of our business, that of cleaning a single room.

Hi

I tested the 3 rooms for £99 on a small scale in some "Remember Me" letters & got very little take up.

The blind guys do a lot of 3 blinds for £99, but they are the basic item, they then try to upsell to the more expensive items.

Apparently they only employ technical  salespeople so they can blind the customer with science.
