I agree with the make them pay comments. Not having any info on the people you are the best one to judge, but I would send them a very polite letter explaining the work you did and include an invoice with a payment due date say 14 days. I would also put in the letter that if they have difficulty paying that you might be able to come to some arrangement to have it in anstallments.
If you don't get a response within 3 weeks I would send a reminder and then if still no response I would send a final letter saying that you are going to pursue through the small claims court and explain that this will cost them more as they will also have to pay the court fees and interest.
I have been down this route a few times and as long as you are non threatening in your letters, just simply state the facts there can be no comeback. At the end of the day you should get your money but it depends if you want the minor hassle - its not likely that you will loose any follow up work and would you want it anyway?
