I know I may get laughed at for this question but it is a genuine question lol.
This will be my first winter/Xmas being a window cleaner or running any business self employed.
I was wondering do you have any customers who give you a Christmas card or little gift?
I was also wondering do you give any of your customers a xmas card if they’ve got you one etc?

[deeege]

I get a few quid in tips, loads less now that most customers pay online though. I also get a few boxes of chocolates and the occasional bottle of wine.

I’m grateful for every tip but more grateful for the custom they give throughout the year.

Sending cards or wearing a Santa hat is a bit desperate imo, each to their own though.

I used to get around £500 in tips and maybe a few bottles of wine,chocs,etc...last year i got around £400 in cash tips,no chocs or booze.....i think this year ill be lucky to get £100 in tips as i dont collect anymore and most pay online like danny says......

ive never got any of my customers xmas cards  but i usually get 4 or 5 (at least) off some of my dear elderly customers that ive been cleaning for 20+ years!

Most of my customers pay online Daz but I  still get tips off some of them they pay extra into my bank

I give all of a £5tip just to change it up a bit.

They all seem to appreciate the gesture, and it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

I’m not interested in tips , I’d prefer to earn proper decent money all year round. I’m very great full for my customers and they know this. I’m certainly not cheap either. What’s £10 for a couple of hundred Christmas cards  once a year just to say thanks for your business and merry Christmas. I have done this since The 1st year I started

Xmas means nothing to me 😉,  and many of my customers know this, although I respect that it means a lot to them.

I get a few boxes of chocs, a bottle of wine here and there and a few tips. I have thought about producing some 'thank you' cards expressing my gratitude to my loyal customers, but as I post a message on my facebook page to this effect, I haven't followed through on the idea.

Yeah defo generic , I usually get the Tesco charity cards 3x 30 packs for £3 deal. Just basically -
‘ Thank you for your business & merry Christmas from the shrek family’

I do get my mrs to write them on a nightly basis though because my handwriting isn’t the neatest!! I just think without my custards , I wouldn’t be travelling to the 5* maxx royal Belek !! So a Christmas card is something nice to do at Christmas, especially to my elderly custards who don’t have any family, it really cheers them up

Aye and some on here took it hook line & sinker😂

[Clever Forum Name]

Had my first tip on Friday of a tenner which is always nice.

We do around a £800-£1000 a year in tips across all the vans and the franchisees naturally keep theirs.

I will be doing Christmas cards at some point over the next few years but sod writing out 2000+ cards lol!
