Its about time I started to ask customers for a deposit at the time of order.
Its a real pain in the neck at the moment, lots of finished jobs, but no-one wants to pick them up and pay for them. They all have lots of "bills" at the moment. I wonder what the **** they think this piece of paper is thatI have for them? A round the world lifetime trip on the bloody 'QEII' I suppose!
Seriously now,
Having read an article in March 2000 Decor (just arrived by carrier pigeon) which suggested a 50% deposit, I wonder how I can introduce this to my customers without them becoming my former customers?
1. Do I place a notice on the design counter or near the cash register?
What would I say on this notice?
2. Do I just ask for it?
3. Is 50% the correct amount?
Thank you in advance, for your helpful answers!!!
