even 50p  increase is going to help.    you know most customers.     if you do a good job   they will not want to loose you.      it all depends if you over charge already.   you may loose some
i think 50p  / £1  / £2   is nothing  shocking for a customer to cancel you
     
it may be an opportunity for  new windies to canvass and    creep in offering Lower prices

We have done what the supermarkets do , priced jobs to end on 9 pence . They seem to get it right . All our £2.50  £ 3.50 £4,50 jobs have been put up 49 pence . All our £5 to £9 jobs up the same 49 pence . Any jobs over a tenner , we are holding off until next year , don’t want to risk Losing the cream , so far not one cancellation,  Totally fooled em into a price increase .

If they pay cash do some of them say keep the 1p change? Or do you have a bag of 1p coins for when they want change? 😂

I don’t understand how he’s fooled them into a price increase. He literally told them their price is going up , how is this fooling anyone? Genuinely want to know….

£2:50 ,£3:50 and £4:50 jobs up 49 pence are you serious ?…. We have a minimum £12 charge for  anything the vast majority minimum is £15-20  there is no point in doing anything for less than £10  . £10 jobs are cream !,,,,, this must be a wind up  ,you would earn more stacking shelves in Tesco

It's a wind up. Read the posts before yours...

Aprils price cap now being touted as being £5300, I wish that was a wind up, unfortunately not.
I wonder if you boys getting positive feedback from customers who have just been told their price of wc has gone up will still be feeling the love when the heatwave ends and the autumn chill starts and people are reaching for jumpers rather than putting the heating on, and get told the price of your non essential window cleaning is going up? Let's hope so eh.

The thing is with price rises is in reality if the can’t afford a £1/2 price increase then they won’t be able to afford the original price either, I’ve been putting all of my up in the last two weeks and everyone bar two who were both only out up £1 have been fine with it.
At the end of the day an extra couple of pound is not going to be the tipping point, if they can afford it then they can’t afford a window cleaner full stop

I've always said I am not a charity.
If I lose a few so be it.
After all, unless you are NWH then our price rises are not more than a few pounds.
Max £10:00/15:00.
Cannot be doing with procrastinating.
My clients have told me they expect it.

I've bought a hot water bottle before they all get snapped up! I'll be OK.

My gyms just put their price up this morning, can’t believe they are taking the P***. Surely they know my gas bill is going up?
Said there will be no more increases for the next year , and there I am holding my prices for 3 years . Absolute p*** take

[Slacky]

Ive been putting my prices up this year with more enthusiasm than ever before to be honest.



So far just the one Scottish bit whose resisted. She smelt anyway.

I think price cap is the way to go . The energy  companies have one, and they make billions. We are gunna have some flyers printed . Price cap of £11.49 . Held for 3 years . I cannot see how that can lose .           Granville go away .

If you hold the price for three years in Yorkshire, would that be a flat cap?

Don't encourage him - he's hard work on the "any other business section" let alone on this part of the forum!

I never thought I'd see the words 'hard' and 'work' used in a post about me
