Anyone give discounts for people who sign up for the whole year that includes a full property service and covers spring clean, mowing fert/ weed killer, aeration, fall clean up, and snow removal? If so how much much of a discount do you give them? What % do you take off? And how do you go about giving them their discount do you just take a certain amount off on each bill?
I offer a 5% discount to all my fert customers if they prepay the entire season. It helps generate cash flow early in the spring to help pay those fertilizer and chemical bills. But offering that to sign up for a full package of services might be tempting to help sell to customers that are not already get the full package.
H3ll no, right now the IRS sure isn't giving me no discounts!
Only thing that's almost reasonable is fuel, I'm doing the best I can to keep prices where they are, and I don't go down.
But ok, IF someone wanted to pay for the entire year upfront, 5% is fair, that's how much I would get once I put their money in my money market acc't, I can live with that. Sorta, there's still a pro-rating issue here, but first I need to see someone forking over a grand or so upfront.
Otherwise forget that noise of 'but I'll be your customer all year...'
That promise is empty and their loyalty means little, at least that's been my experience.
5% discount if paid in full before services start.
