i offer 4 or 8 weekly but if i was starting over i would offer 6 weekly only or if they insisted 12 weekly price would be 50 percent extra!

i am considering notifying all my customers and telling them the frequency will be all 6 weekly, i hate driving to an area and missing out a few jobs then the next time i go missing out a few others, i think its more profitable to have every single job on the same frequency, saving time and diesel, i wish from day 1 i offered 6 weekly only

You'll still get the " Not today " customers; they'll be like new cleans when they get done!!!

I have far less of this since i started cleaning a bit less frequently.  However, it's also true that I became a lot less tolerant of this some years ago and moved on from customers who do this.

give the customer what they want.

If I had adhered to that 100%, I would have closed my business years ago - or been nutted off for trying to jump to too many needs.

One problem I can see with offering 4 and 6 is that you're going to be all over the place to do it.  4 and 8 I can understand; you do the same roads but you miss some out.  If you're doing 6-weekly, you must be coming back out of cycle.  So, it makes sense to offer x and 2x intervals.

We offer 6-weekly and 12-weekly (at 50% higher price).  Half of our customers now take the 12-weekly clean option.  It makes building a round slower, but the limiting factor in how much you earn is your total hours.  Fill them with work at a 50% price premium and you'll be very happy.  As for:

in my experience anybody wanting 8 or12 isnt serious about wanting clean windows

well, in my experience, half my customers are serious enough to pay 50% more for it.

Yep.  What that man said

I think he may mean "give the customer what they want and charge enough for the service".

I offer a five week and four days service and a sixteen week and five day service. This keeps my brain cells active working out when they align for a bumper month.

You've got more than one? 
I've been trying to find a second one to keep the first one company.
I've not had much luck yet though.
