sunshine for BACS payment customers i always get their mobile number then 14 days after clean if payment not made i send them a text reminder.its only the odd customer who doesnt pay within the 14 days.for cheaper jobs(say £7)some customers pay me a year in advance or 6 months in advance.others i leave an invoice when they owe 3 cleans etc.
most BACS customers are £15-£70 jobs and are good solid payers.
£600+ a year on stamps?i dont blame you for not putting stamps on anymore!
SAE is getting less and less as more customers pay electronically but theres still a percentage of customers(including commercial!)who pay by cheque.
