(To get more in line with other tuners' fees in the area and because I have taken over a retired tuner's clientele and he charged more than me----couldn't keep straight my clients at one price and his at a higher one, so they all get the higher price) In order to compensate for this and reduce sticker shock, I offer my previous clients a $10 discount on my reminder cards. This applies for a semi-annual or annual tuning. Even with the discount, they're paying more than they did last year. Some people seem motivated by this. They mention it specifically when they call to schedule an appointment. I had one guy refuse it, and insisted on paying me the full price. My percentage of reminder cards to repeat tunings in any given month is low, though, so I don't think it makes much of a difference, really.
