He suggested some type of voucher system, if I am not mistaken, whereby members of a church ( for example ) have their own pianos tuned and for each tuning, the church receives a credit amount. After a certain number of congregation tunings, the church tuning is basically free. I haven't tried it, but it is a twist that might be of use to you in the future. Tom Dickson >> I do not give discounts to anyone including churches unless I get referrals. After tuning for the referral, I note it on my client file to give the one who gave a referral, a one time $5 credit toward the next tuning. Referrals almost always come from those who I have service before. Even in my own church I do not discount. I give far more when the hat is passed. Dave Peake, RPT Portland, OR
