[wfp master]

[Central Window Cleaners]

I wouldn't tell them or the local burglar might end up paying you a visit while your away

[p1w1]

don't bother tellin them i never do

I wouldn't tell them either.  They may get a bit jealous when they find out you're off for a two-week cruise round the Med, and they're struggling to get a weekend away camping; especially if you're their 'scabby window cleaner' who just splashes some water round their house for a few minutes and then knocks for a tenner.

Very True Tosh, I told a customer last year i would be a week late with there window cleaning due to Holiday, the reply i got was " I must be paying you to much" ( £10.00) She said before shutting door, i want to cancel
i could do without this sort of custormer.

I have never told a customer I am away.Not good for business.

Never done me any harm work wise & never lost a customer due to that

plus you have the waether to catch up at this time of year/late days and weeknds if needed.

If your going away for 2 weeks + tell them you have a family personal issue that needs sorting,that`s a good enough excuse lol.

[DaveG]

I would just tell your favourite customers ( the ones who tip etc!!!) and if any of the others ask why your late ( but most wont even notice) tell them weather etc has held you up!!!

[GWCS]

I dont go away in the summer for longer than a week, so not to get too far behind

I leave it until the winter and say its annual leave, if i go on hols or not.

First 2 weeks of January are not worked, and all customers are made aware of this fact - and i word it as such so that feel that they are getting a payment break.

But you could say due to a death in the family you will be away for a week so regular work will be disrupted, but you will get back to normal asap.

[NBwcs]

Tell them its annual leave not holidays as this doesnt neccesarily imply your going away and tell them face to face. dont give them a letter, you dont know who's gonna read it. I do think its only polite to give them warning though.
