You can alter your prices a bit coming up to October / November in your favour you'll find.

Customers wanting discount or not paying?! My tutor at college (learning carpentry whilst tiling part time) sold a handmade chair for:angel_smile: 5K! and he still gets customers asking for a discount because work not up to scratch! His Dad gets the same, he even went back in one house and started removing the handmade kitchen he'd put in! Customer paid full on the spot!

Advertising - I've created a free blogspot, put a counter on it to see how many hits and advertise in local newsagents. Also Sainsburys have their local traders cards I believe it costs 1200 quid but a carpenter friend gets all his work through this, never advertises anywhere else and is never without work.

Hope that helps. :angel_smile:
