if your that bothered mate put a big price rise in then if you dont mind risking losing the jobs.....personally im happy with my round and prices at the moment....£50k a year for part time hours is enough for me,no need for me to be greedy.....

hmmm, so anyone earning better than you is just greedy ?


anyway - good thread, and yes we need to bear in mind how grateful we were to our early customers - I have some that would defo be more would more if I quoted today.

Generally though as I don't now clean any properties its easier to price rise across the board as I no longer have that regular face to face contact

How do you manage the price rise? We did it last year to perhaps 1,000 customers and it was very complicated.

Had to decide on the increase, write a note to be left with the customer, had to increase the price for the customer and then individually edit the price of each one for the clean on the day we dropped the note so that their old price was still showing.  Absolute ball ache.

I have always just done it by text , send the text at the same time adjusting the price on aworka, very simple really .

It’s probably a better way than I’m doing it currently.
