An old lady phoned me looking to get her 8x6 kitchen carpet cleaned, stating that other cc had turned her down. was local so did it for £10, when passing and she was delighted. resulted in 2 other jobs. one being her daughter. being a newbie, was happy to do the work, and get my name known,but if I could pick and choose work i obvioiusly would have passed.

Nice one Garyfin, there is always an exception to the norm - you did an old lady a good turn, you got the self satisfaction of helping someone and then some more!

Ive often thought of keeping prices moderate but having a £150 min.  In other words getting the customer to spend more.

Driving is becoming the most expensive part of doing business so if you can keep that to a min then its more profit at the end of the day.

I've often thought this as this is what the US cleaners do but I just wondered if it will bring in the cheaper carpets or clients and then there's always the anomaly room sizes.

Would never charge a genuine OAP full minimum charge only applies to wage earners.

Mark,
Dont forget that some pensioners are very wealthy and have very little to spend there money on, They could be On Index linked pensions if they have worked for the Goverment, which must account for 30% of them.

That's right OAP's they have money that is not to be excused but they do their homework.
