From reading recent posts I think you will agree we could all do with a bit of extra work. I'm the same as everyone else and like to think I'm getting a good deal, so I think I need to do a special offer in the New Year.
Ive read about 3 rooms for £99, (what room size does this go up to)?
does anyone else have any deals on at the moment that is bringing in the work?
Any ideas would be helpful

3 rooms for £300 sizes may apply

Shaun

Can't help but make a profit from that one!

Hi Shaun, I did think when I was typing the post- I bet I'll get a few silly comments, although I thought derek would be the first !!
Would love to do 3 rooms for £300 Shaun, You've been going a while (I think) Do you do special offers to make customers think their getting a good deal.

One of Mike Hallidays that i use

Lounge cleaned free whe you have your fabric 3 piece suite cleaned

its got to be a fabric suite (not leather) so whilst you gear is set up then its easy to do the lounge
AND
you must charge full rate for the suite.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I'd probably do 3 rooms for around £150 - £190 dependant on size but I think we are talking 12 x 12 's, hsl through a spanner in the works abit.

Thanks Joe that sounds like a good one, when you say full price - how much would you charge for 3 piece suite? We'd charge around 120

[derek west]

i have 10% off on my colour adds and leaflets, thats it really.
a very sensible answer there from derek.

no jokes.
no gimmicks
just plain honest advice.

Thanks Joe that sounds like a good one, when you say full price - how much would you charge for 3 piece suite? We'd charge around 120

If thats your normal full rate then thats what to go for.

However, if you really sell the lounge cleaned free then you could find it the time to put your 3 piece suite up a bit say to £140. Customer thinks they still getting a bargain - and thay are - so worth a try.

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Derek if you look on the high street at the moment everyone is offereing 20% off, I read a book about discounts and psychological triggers and they say that anything less than 20% off won't work as it's not percived as enough (look at the laughable vat 2.5% discount, not enough benefit)

I would add onto your colour flier,

"a genuine 10% off"

People will see that you as an honourable company and they can trust you, less is sometimes more it all depends on how you sell it.

Shaun

[derek west]

genuine???
your havin a giraffe shaun.
i add 10% on first.
derek

[Shaun_Ashmore]

I know that
You know that
but the customer doesn't!

We are talking money with a Yorkshireman!!

Shaun

[derek west]

shaun
talking of special offers
are you a wednesday man or a united?
and do they have special offers for season tickets.
derek

[Shaun_Ashmore]

United, not sure about special offers on season tickets I'd have thought so.

Why do you ask?

I did that offer that joe is posting about and after a chat with joe i did my leaflets with that on it.

I know its all from mike halliday leaflets that am sure does work

Thankfully i have been busy this xmas due to the fact i have been going for a long time but am still giving a bit extra at this time just to keep myself happy as well as the client

[suffolkclean]

Thank you all for your advice I will definetely try the FREE Lounge carpet clean with every 3 piece suite clean.Then a 'Genuine 10% Off'. Does anyone have a copy of the Mike leaflet your all talking about please?
Barbara

[clinton]

Barbera

Would of sent you a copy of mine but it was sent as locked format from dp design :

Mine is prob same as joes maybe

Think on d p designs ( cheap leaflets.com)sample page you could see some examples

Mike was kind enough to send me some examples that i used for ideas

[Mike Halliday]

they are on this old lealfet.

[derek west]

mike
whats your freephone bill per month average, and who do you use for it?
derek

[suffolkclean]

Thanks for that Mike,do you usually get good results from this kind of offer also do you get 1000's of these printed up and get them delivered round the houses?
Barbara

[Shaun_Ashmore]

Barbara the best thing to do is not put a price in your head, if you put 3 for £99 you WILL get price shoppers, start by taking every single job as you find it.

Mike does the 3 offers and is very successful with them, I also do them but he and I will tell you that 1 house is not the same as another so keep an open mind.

Credit to Mike but Robert Saunders said the same deals when I went on one of his free seminars last year, although I believe Mike did do them first (Mike-Roberts Saunders is copywriting you )
