So Long 2021!
As always, I want to thank YOU for being a supporter of my business, whether it is sharing posts, referring someone to do business with me, or spending your hard earned money for parts, accessories, or detailing. It means a lot to me and I cannot thank you enough. Many people know that The Bearded Detailer is my primary focus and I am only able to accomplish this because of people like you, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.
There are no new products or services that I have to announce for the upcoming year so as of right now it will be business as usual. However, I do have to announce a very important change that will be taking effect as of January 1st: pricing. Since opening this business, I have only raised my detailing prices one time and the time has come to do so a second time. My costs with suppliers have gone up this year, along with many other things, and in order for me to continue to provide my services to awesome people like you, I will have to make adjustments. Regular detailing packages have gone up 10% and all Opti-Coat ceramic coatings have increased about 7%. I have updated the website to reflect these changes: https://www.thebeardeddetailer.com/packages
For anyone that has visited the Swag Store, you may have noticed some price changes there as well. For example, the OEM European LED tail lamps that I import from Europe have increased about 20% in just the last month. I wish I had more control over the prices but my only other option would be to stop offering them and that would not be fair to those that do want them. I do check prices on popular items monthly and I will adjust them back down once I see those changes happen on my end.
Once again, I want to thank you for your support and I can give you some things that you can do for free that will be super helpful:
- Tell a friend and/or family member. This costs nothing and everyone knows at least one person that could benefit from a product or service that I offer.
- Bookmark this Amazon link: http://amzn.to/tbdamazon - there is nothing funky about the link or the shopping, but there is an affiliate code embedded and that does provide a little monetary kick back to me. Your shopping is anonymous so you don't need to worry about me finding out what you buy at 2am on a White Claw bender.
- Listen to my two podcasts: Tales of Honor and Professional American - Tales of Honor is entering its fifth year of existence and tells the true stories of every recipient of the Medal of Honor (the highest US military award). Professional American is more laid back but covers a variety of topics like business start up, hunting, and even my take on the recent Afghanistan withdrawal. They are available anywhere you can consume media and again, costs nothing.
That's all for this update and for the year! I pray you all had a very merry Christmas and that you will have a safe New Year celebration.
