First thing first--there is no such service as Scotch gaurding-not to be rude but it is Scotchgard and don't worry about the chicken little "the sky is falling" scare tactics, do some research on the protector product you want to use and get familiar with it's benefits and how they work. Once you are confident in the product that you will be selling then you can charge whatever price you can get get for it. Personally I charge.20 cents per square foot for Fibre Protector but that's what I feel is a fair price and my clients never ask me whether it is Scotchgard or Teflon or StainShield, SealPro,Soil Blocker and the list can go on forever when it comes to fabric protectors. I explain what the product will do and how it benefits them and that's all they care about-"what's in it for me". Since I'm the professional that they have hired to educate them on the benefits of cleaning and benefits of using my services, I'm the person that they fully trust to help them make an informed intellegent decision. My marketing is done mostly (95%) by repeat clients & their referrals and the rest is by my website:www.aaronscleanrx.com also by Ethical Services Association, 3 local residential Maid Services plus 3 Flooring Retailers. I charge for my services by how much that I feel comfortable selling them for so my prices vary with whatever package the client chooses to purchase and thy range from $1.75 to as little as $.45 cents per sqaure feet for carpet cleaning. But those are my prices and others charge more or less I don't care that's their business I'm the best carpet cleaner that I know and I have no competition in my market even though there are over 120 carpet cleaners listed in my areas Yellow Pages.
