Since I don’t sell any products, I feel I could offer
a discounted coupon deal. Something like
20% off your first hour of service, or 20% off your first computer maintenance
service. Make it an introductory offer
so they don’t think that they will always get their service discounted on
anything that you do. It’s a way for a
new client to try your services and see if they like you. It’s a onetime only offer. That isn't to say that you couldn't give an
existing client a special offer for referring a new client to you. Sort of a referral fee. Everyone like coupons, I think they are good
if used judiciously.
Hi Donn,
ReplyDeleteI feel that's a slippery slope when it comes to coupons and discounts. Most service professionals really do feel the pressure to "hook a brother up" and for my slim margins (to begin with) its just not a practice I intend to start any time soon,
