Fact is, I haven’t gotten around to the 2nd round yet. That’ll come next year. With February probably being my #1 slowest month, I needed to figure something out. If my business progresses as it has been in the past few years, then one of two things; 1-I won’t have any need to discount anything next year or 2- I’ll like how it worked and won’t mind doing it again.
The first person I lined up with this promotion, I was a little disappointed. It was a nice big house and she only ended up having me do a small area that her house cleaner couldn’t reach so… minimum charge. But that disappointment quickly faded when she had me quote the full house (at my full rate) and she’s on my schedule for the fall. Then the next day while working, her coworker called me and now I’ll be working for her for a nice $ amount.
Basically, I needed to generate business to make it through the end of winter. When spring hits, I should be slammed again. I don’t like cutting my rates, but I don’t like being homeless either Lol! The promotion’s working.
