Re: Do you ever STOP taking new clients?
I dont' ever turn them away, but I tell them their order will take longer due to other orders in front of them. I've already had to do this for the holidays. ( I never thought I'd be this busy!)
I did start taking deposits on customers I don't know, or don't know where they live or work,,,,,even though we're a small town, there's folks I don't know.
I had several last christmas that asked me to do an order for them and needed it "now", and I told them of my "first come, first serve" issue, and they offered me extra money to do theirs now,,,,and I did, as long as I could make sure the other orders would be delivered when promised. (had to take a few vacation days to get them done, but it was worth it to me).
