Hey its my 3rd year with my business some of the other places in tha area charge more for what I do.

I'm thinking about making a flyer with my prices on one side and there's on the other side what do u think???

Here's my two cents...


I don't think you should spend money or time creating printed materials that mention your competition let alone compare yourself as the lowest prices business in town.

In fact, just the opposite, increase your prices to match their prices or go 10% higher and then educate your customer as to why doing business with you is a better value for their money.

Plus, actually do better work.


I moved your question out of Anthony's thread here to try to help you understand how to use a forum better, please read what I wrote in post #22

I totally agree with Mike on this. You don't want to be cheaper, "You want to be better than your competition". That's how I go with my business and guess what, quality work always wins and they will pay more for a better job. My suggestion is, I wouldn't do it nor putting your competition in your flyer either. It will bite you back.

I'm going to be honest I feel word of mouth and showing your work is the best advertisement you can do. Show before and after picks of your work best thing todo. I have tried lots of things to get business over the years and still till this day word of mouth. I did one Corvette and got this customers whole Corvette club.
Hope this helps

You don't want to compete on price. You don't want to be in a race to zero!

Really good input guys...
