Subject: Your minimum price
Posted By Jeff Cross on 7/20/2010 at 8:40:45 PM
Here’s an interesting observation.
 
Although carpet cleaning prices haven’t increased much over the years (in fact, in our surveys it shows they went down a bit in the past few years), minimum prices seem to have risen quite a bit.
 
What have you done with your minimum price over the years? Have they gone down, remained the same, gone up?

Don't clean many carpets now. When I do, it is usually for free.

For our local folks, home to 40,000, we charge $70. If we are going to our 1.8 million person neighboring city it is $100 minimum.
 
On a side note I think we are going to go up a little more come first of the year.

Currently $75.00. But looking at 100.00. Especially since my appliance repairman charges that. And I carry in a lot more equipment than he does.

Our min price has gone up over the years.  Currently we have a tiered pricing structure for our min charge.  Right in town is $100.  Traveling further out in our service area, the min charge increases to a max of $140.  Same price per sq ft to all areas.

$100 local minimum as an owner operator with no employee.  The further out I go the minimum climbs to $125, then to $150, then to $200.  I ususally don't get any further away than that.

RE: Your minimum price: jim glenn: 7/23/2010 10:30:56 PM
Currently $80  been at this amount for four years. For good regular customers no charge for an emergency spot ect. I have had this pay off well for referals.  If I have to travel more than 20 miles than the minimum is $120
