Price rise
« on: April 25, 2014, 01:28:26 pm »
Hello

I have about say 30 jobs from when I first started that are underpriced some by £3-£4 quid. I can not be bothered now to put them up year by year as in increase most every year any way. Have any of you just bit the bullet and put ones like this up to today's prices. If so how did it go.

Yes. The total value went up by more than the value of the customers who cancelled, so time well spent.

I did all my 3 yr old (when I started) underquoted prices in March a couple even said "we knew we were getting a good deal" but accepted the increase...

Like Dazmond says - you may lose a couple - but easy to replace and you'll be happier cleaning those instead.

I put about 200 up by £1 but those that where under-priced I put up by £2..
I actual put a few down that where already well priced - thats after putting the price up with george.

Put most of mine up over the last couple of months, most by £2 but there were a few that were really underpriced they went up by £3-£5. 

Luckily I didn't lose any :)
