    As it's a New Business venture, bit tricky to offer discounted prices. Perhaps build up a solid customer base & offer a discount to customers on a repeat business.

    I disagree its a strategy used successfully by many new businesses.

    Personally I think great service with a friendly approach is of much greater importance than a bit of discount.

    Did have a smile when I read at the time some joker wanted a discount on an MOT which is around 25 groats anyway :

    Very happy to recommend Taliesin as have had superb service at short notice for an MOT and will certainly go back.

    'D' is only offered on bulk or transactions that price can be reduced---- one poxy mot is not in that category :

    The original post on this thread did not specifically mention MOT discounts....it was on engine oils etc.

    I get a discount at my MOT centre.......they want to encourage bikers to go there. Its not a WB discount though.

    Noted Richie, although I do find it really strange that anybody running a business would drag up a six month old thread just to insult a forum member in public !

    I'm not naive enough to think for one moment that my custom will effect your business.

    Again as I said earlier you could have answered what was a very genuine question asked (after you mentioned offering Wiltshire Bikers a discount) that you couldnt offer any discounts but could assure forum members of excellent service etc., etc.

    The truly sad thing is that as a new business you have wasted a good opportunity to promote your business for free in a positive way to a fairly large local market.

    I personally think your response has been quite rude but enough said and people will make their own judgements.

    All the very best to you

    :-[ whoops oh yeah but my 'd' comment still applies.

    An MOT discount just for you Snowy or is the MOT priced lower for all ?

    Common knowledge price varies from place to place with different offers on the go.

    Anyway good that there is a place in 'Sham for bike MOT as Missens was not always available recently.
