I see your 6 weekly,
I thinking of changing to this currently 5 weeks use to be monthly.
reason for 6 weeks is i need to bump up some under priced work, which lowest is 30% underpriced.
Was wondering were you always 6 weekly.
don't know wether to inform all custy's of change or just leave it, might be opening can of worms there 
Think i will tell the ones going up £5 of fewer visits wether this stops me losing them?
I hope 6 weekly visits gives me the scope to price higher.
will put on leaflets frequency, and windows stay cleaner longer, and cleaner whole window frame pane and sill.
shortly after leaflet drop will door knock, don't like knocking bit of a fraidy cat but from what people say is quickest way of building compact round.
thanks all

When I first started I supplied a monthly service. Some wanted two monthly and a few even wanted three monthly. This was easy to supply at first because I had big gaps in the workload anyway. As time went by, I had overfilled my workload - mostly with underpriced, "busy fool" type work and I struggled badly to keep up with my schedule. So I needed to change a few things. First of all, I gave away some work. I didn't ask for any money as the prices were lousy - however, it gave someone a start. All the work I gave away was in two neighbouring villages and the bits in between. It was worth about £500 a month on average (about 10 years or so ago). So that got rid of the worst of my underpriced work at a stroke and it was in a separate geographical area too. I still had more work than I could handle so I went to 6 weekly across the board. Most were monthly anyway so they saved a few quid. The two monthly ones mostly went along with it too (though a few dropped out). All the three monthly work went in the big giveaway. After a while, some people wanted every other time which was now 12 weekly. In order to avoid a load of run-of-the-mill at such infrequent intervals, I would only do cleaning at 12 weekly intervals if the job was worth over £70. In the last year or so, in view of the economy, I have relented a bit and I now have a £40 minimum for 12 weekly intervals (though I do have a £33er @ 12 weekly that pre-dated all this). If someone wants 12 weekly, they have to pay me £40 or more for the privilege. Obviously, if the economy gets really serious, I may have to adapt accordingly but I will avoid that if I can.
My 6 weekly is actually 6 - 8 weeks. I like to leave myself a bit of flexibility.
As far as increasing the lower prices to go 6 weekly, that is a tough call I think. If you do want to do that, I think you would be better off ensuring you have spare work first as you will probably lose some if you are thinking of increases around 30% for the lower ones.
Just my view. The way I did it may not be right for you. I'm not an oracle of all things window cleaning
