Re: pop - goes the wallet

You could run a special; perhaps a trial level upgrade period where members get a 1 month next level upgrade for current level price. It will give them an opportunity to test out a higher level bed without any extra charge and won't really put you out any extra money. They can upgrade for next level price anytime during or after (after if they are smart, that way they get the full time of the special... but details!), or not at all once it is over. It doesn't necessarily have to be 1 month (time frame is up to you), but you get the idea.

Re: pop - goes the wallet

My March is already down bigtime over last March. I couldn't beleive it when I looked at my numbers. It seemed busy, but I was just fullfilling my obligation for packages which I sold in January and February. I was shocked!! Spring break was also a week earier this year.

Re: pop - goes the wallet

As though the economy and fuel prices aren't enough now I have to worry about many my customers being alrmed about getting theur paychecks.

This letter was sent to all military people around my salons:

Patriot Families,

As you may know, there is a possibility that the Federal Government MAY shut down while they straighten out the budget. This is not meant to alarm you, but rather to get you to begin to thinking about your family's finances in the event that congress does not pass the FY2011 budget by 17 March, and the government is forced to issue an "IOU" for your pay. If this does in fact happen, remember that Navy Marine Corps Relief Society (910-449-6431) will issue interest free loans to help get you through. I also have lists of local food banks and soup kitchens should anyone be in need.
