Just wondered what the general consensus is regarding making customers aware of your prices before they have even contacted you.
I have looked a quite a few 'Electrican' websites and would have to say that the number that display costs/hourly rates, or any form of pricing for that matter, is quite low.
I appreciate that no two jobs are the same, and that a good deal of the time it would be difficult to price a job without seeing it. That said, I'm just wondering if it would hurt business to publish hourly/daily rates and also some examples of likely costs for standard jobs like, installing outside lights etc.
Displaying costs might deter some customers, but I'm also thinking that it might discourage the 'Rigsbys' of the world and those that are looking for cheap work rather than quality. i.e customers I'd rather not have.
Cheers
