How many sets a day for mobile? - 18-02-06, 02:50 PM

Hi

I have been mobile now for nearly 5 years and would dearly love to make it my one and only job, but unfortunately I don't have a large enough client base.
My question is, how many clients a day on average do you peeps that do this as your full time job??

Love

I was doing about 6 - 8 clients a day 5 days a week before leaving the UK. The key is client retention, you can't make a living on just new sets. This time of year is the best for getting new clients cause people are just starting to think of holidays, weddings and parties etc. Do all you can to keep you clients coming back, if it involves punch type cards for freebies then do it, check out your competition and offer one better than them. Most important whatever services you offer, do them very well and give 100% all the time and you clients will come back!
Best of luck!

I work part time to fit around my family so don't start until 12:30. i normally do 2 or 3 cllients a day depending on the time of year it canbe more or less. That was also some good advice from the previous post. If your clients are happy they are more likely to come back to you.

if i can help it i dont work mondays or friday afternoons but the rest of the time can be between 3 -5 a day so i can keep my monday and fridays afternoon free. at the minute i have a good client base to earn a good wage and enough not to worry if no new clients book in.
the thing about being mobile and at home...no one knows where you are...you have to really push with the advertising
