Gift certificates

I did an experiment this yr..didn't want to mention it till I tried it.


I 've always made it my practice not to "pay myself" till someone actually books thier gift certificate to get tinted so I don't have that "feeling of working for free" , problem is..sometimes people have waited for months B4 cashing them in (at least for me.)

I decided this yr (since January is always slow) to make up a coupon to staple to the Gift Certificate saying : " Free film cleaner if redeemed in January.

I sold 14 gift certificates this yr...all but 1 has phoned to book already !!

to me..it's worth the cost of a cleaner to just hand over effortlessly if it means they book it in one of my slowest months

Good idea.

People just like free shiot

That's why I figure I'll give them something that people can actually USE and it costs me next to nothing...heck..you can just write them off as a promotion

People out here that have the certs. will sometimes call for a price,,Then book the job and not tell you they have a cert.I don't like to redeem them on Sat.

gift cerf suck so bad i hate selling them

Do you own your tint business ?

If you don't I can see it I guess...if you do own your own business you wouldn't be saying that..it's the same thing as money...business is business

yea i own the shop but it always seems like they all want to come in at the same time where you get 4 or 5 in one day worked your azz off and at the end of the day nothing new to show for it no offense to those who do just my personal taste

I don't mind selling them I just don't like honoring them

good idea TW

dude not 1 complaint over anything in 11 months and going strong how about YOU be honest

We sold 10 -12 before christmas and not one has come in yet

Whom are you talking too ?

mr paladin

I have no idea what your talking about I do no I have very few complaints though

if your saying that i like selling them but don't like honoring them then thats the problem you don't know anything about the way i do business and i take that very personally

But if is a DMC you want I will have been in business for 20 years in may, have seen 20 shops open in close in that time, have never been sued, have never had one complaint to the BBB

I was saying I don't like honoring them.It was a joke

great but still why would you give the impression that i don't honor things i do

OK..I see the problem now MrP..Total Tint took you out of context is all...the way I read your post Mr.P..you were talking only of yourself when saying "I like selling them..just not honouring them" I think Total took that as a slam for some reason..I don't read it that way at all

sorry for the misunderstanding no hard felings

No problem

If you don't shake hands, the thread will be trashed and I won't have a chance at at TOTW medal

The TOTW was to not let a thread lose it's direction
