Ron , can quite grasp what you are saying  :-\  :-\
  Are you saying you give 50% off , if they have the work done whilst you are working in that road, or are you saying you give 50% off if they book the work in for another time
 if the answer is the first offer, then yes i can understand the logic, you are there, at that time therfore saving  on a number of x,s, however this surly would only work if in fact you were quite and no jobs booked in :-\  :-\
 if the second offer is , meaning you book them in for another time , im confused again , your working for next to nothing as you do already , work very cheap?
 or so you lead us to believe, and you are also very busy .
 so why the offers ,
 yes im confused
 geoff
who ever said dont knock before u try ,i never tried dog crap but i know i wouldnt like  haha

yes if they have it done that day. obviosy the only extra cost is to move the van and get to work. i know that if you had other calls that day it would be difficult and may result in working till midnight, but the 50%applys there and then.in effect also my offers are based on 50% off anyway si i am not discounting the discount . 2 vans all work gladly taken. sure im cheap but not to cheap. its another avenue of getting work without perhaps the amount of leaflets i put out.

Just a thought, what about the customer you are doing the job for, when she sees the sign saying 50% of if you book now, won't she feel that she has paid too much for her clean??
As I said just a thought but Worth considering, all the best Ted

my advertising to get jobs uses 50% off already all im doing is enlightening the rd im working in, so nobody is getting a cheaper deal anyway. but it attracts those that have not seen advert or flyer

If your knocking 50% off your already admited lowest prices in Country would you not be better of stacking the shelves in Kwik Save??

Ron if you always offer a 50% discount when do you charge the full 100%?

to give a 50% discount you must at some stage charge the full amount or the discounted price is your normal price, so 50% off must actually be a charge of 25%.

I've no problem with how you market your services, if it work for you, thats what counts.

MIKE THIS PART I REPLIED TO YOU    does it take to much thought . and how deep do you want to go. its explanatory. its now boring to answer ant further questions on the subject.ive told you it works. like it ,lump it. or forget it   .AND DAVE 401 THIS PART APPLYS TO YOU. what on earth you talk about is made up in your head who has ever said i clean 60 suites a week. it only makes you look more foolish with your silly big allergy box. perhaps you shoukd stick that on your head .you would be far more sensible if sniffing your allergy product full time

Ron,

I think you owe Mike an apology.

As far as I know Mike has not constantly plugged any product on these Forumns.

He has always been helpful to most people.
Although I cannot remember if you have ever saidyou clean 60 suites a week.
But you do have two vans at least on the road

I only knowMike  through these Forumns but he is a CC I respect and listen to.


Ron in the past I have been impressed by some of your ideas some I take with a pinch of salt.

You do get the business.

I would have liked to know how much you charge for say a 25feet times 10feet room but I doubt if you will tell us.

I woulde charge £50 to £75 depending on customer.

sorry for boring you Ron, I'll try and be more interesting in future  :D :D

don't you worry that your customer will start think of you like they think of DFS, always having a 50% sale.

getting back to the topic subject, I think these boards are a good Idea, I'd improve them by having a container attatched so you can put your business cards in, so if they don't have a pen handy they can take a card

MIKE I NEVER SAID YOU SAID WHAT YOU DIDENT SAY. YOU DID NOT SAY I CLEANED 60 SUITES A WEEK . IF IT WAS READ CORRECTLY DAVE 401 SAID IT AND I ADDED MY REPLY TO HIM.apart from that mike you are the man with the knowledg. i havent implied or been rude to you in my answer, but if you think i have. i as a punishment will eat some fillet steak au poivre and wash my mouth out with a bottle of crystal, hope thats ok.
