I can pass along some second-hand info: A veteran tuner in my chapter said he used to advertise in the PennySaver. Yes, it did bring him in business, but he eventually stopped advertising there. Why? He said he felt that most of the customers were just looking for a low price for a tuning and didn't care much about having their piano serviced properly. In other words, I think he felt most of the PennySaver customers wouldn't want anything more than a tuning. I'm guessing many of them would be resistent to getting a pitch raise, for example, if it cost extra. He also said that many of the customers had poor pianos and kept calling him back after his tuning to complain about things that weren't his fault, expecting him to fix them for free. It sounds like it could be a good way to start out, though. Keep us posted on what advertising methods work for you! Charles
