Hi, Rick: I don't know what prices are in your area, but if you can afford to do that to get some new customers, I guess that's your choice. My calculation is that my mileage to get to my customer's house and back is average about 40 miles. By IRS rules (IRS Rules??!) that would become $20 in expenses just to walk in the door. You may be able to negotiate a fair discount, which would bring lots of responses hopefully. I'd let them know that this is a one-time deal, and maybe they'll become regulars. Who knows?

A couple of tuners were doing a half off sale, and getting lots of customers. Yeah, they probably got a lot of business. But, at what cost and what kind of customer? Probably never see them again for many-a-year, until you run another half-off sale. I decided it wasn't worth doing. Maybe you're desperate, and you don't mind giving yourself away for less. >> Good luck. >> Paul McCloud >> San Diego >> >> >> >> >> On 07/03/2012 1:00 PM, richarducci at comcast.net wrote: >>> Does anyone on this list do this or similar coupon type offers? >>> I am looking into it. >>> >>> Rick Ucci >>> Uccipiano.com >>> >> >
