<WBR>When I had a store, I sold piano tuning gift certificates. But you can carry a couple of them with you, and offer them to your customers, especially this time of year. But mine was not specifically made up to look like a Christmas gift, so they could be used any time of year. They are easy to make up on your computer. Collect the money up front, tune later. <br> <br> <div style="CLEAR: both">Willem (Wim) Blees, RPT<br> Piano Tuner/Technician<br> Honolulu, HI<br> Author of <br> The Business of Piano Tuning<br> available from Potter Press<br> www.pianotuning.com</div> <br> <br> -----Original Message-----<br> From: MICHAEL MEZHINSKY <pghpianotuning@yahoo.com><br> To: pianotech@ptg.org<br> Sent: Tue, 27 Nov 2007 5:17 pm<br> Subject: gift certificates<br> <br> <div id=AOLMsgPart_2_a1676c83-5d5a-4926-85fc-b3030f4e615a> <div dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri> Hi All, </FONT></SPAN></div> <div dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us></SPAN> </div> <div dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Calibri>Do you guys offer any gift certificates?</FONT></SPAN></div> <div dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us></SPAN> </div> <div dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us></SPAN><SPAN lang=en-us>Thanks,</SPAN></div> <div dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us>Michael Mezhinsky RPT</SPAN></div> <div> <HR SIZE=1> Be a better pen pal.
