One thing is for sure, my phone is definalty not ringing like it always has. Even my regulars have cut back from seeing them every two weeks to almost just once a month. Even the "well off customers" have dropped back slightly. Anyone else feeling the reduction in work? I have never advertised much (back of the truck) but my business has been based on referrals. My demographic area is mostly high-end, so I would think the economy wouldn`t be a factor. Some of my regulars have been with over four years.



I know my wife and I have cut back on a lot of things. My detailing business is just part time, but its still part of my yearly income. My 50 hour a week salary position is in trucking and warehousing. Our company is paying upwards of $10,000 a day in fuel cost. So I know we are taking it in the shorts, but the fuel costs are being past on to the customers, and then eventually the consumers. Are fuel surcharges are upwards of 50-60%. So everyone is feeling the fuel crunch.



Hows everyone else holding up???
