I have an email marketing/scheduling through www.schedulicity.com that is done every month with either specials or offers for everyone to receive a little helping hand from me in return I get them into my chair so that I can receive income to support my field as a manicurist & family.
EVERY offer has limitations and special guidelines that need to be observed as any other business there are provisions for everything and every different situation. As a Self Employed person I have to treat my business just as any main stream corporation needs to be run and all rules are made to be broken...Yes...But not all the time if I did that for everyone I would not be respected and treated with a business point of view...Everyone assumes that just cause I work for myself I should bend rules all the time, offer discounted pricing, wait to get paid, write bad checks to me, run 20/30 minutes late so that the rest of my day is messed up and all the other clients behind them are pissed at me...I'm sorry I'm trying to make a living here but for crying out loud I should be held with some regard and respect as a business professional just as you would any other business! If I had purchased a Gift Certificate/Card from Walmart, Target or Kholes and I either lost it or used half of it I don't think that they would honor any part of 100% of my money that I used to purchase it....DO YOU? We all run and think of our business profession very differently and as I have been burned so many times before in the past 14 years of business....This is how I run my show.

I would do what someone else said...honor the money but not the special price after the expiration date... but I would think that would have to be spelled out somewhere....maybe????

But is it a gift certificate when it is a special purchase? I know the regular rules and laws for gift certificates but this sounded like a special like buy one get one kind of deal. Are you allowed to expire that.?? Just thinkin and askin????

In NY you have to honor a GC...no expiration dates allowed. Well... you can PUT them on the Gc ( to encourage speedy use) but you have to honor them past the expiration date...OR you can refuse to honor it but have to send the money that the client spent to "unclaimed funds" in the governmental offices somewhere.... like really... who does that? But I think that makes sense..IF someone spends the money it shouldn't expire. Pati 'Good friends are like stars...

I am at an AWW with clients period they expect that you are their savior their super woman and want S##t for FREE all the time or expect that you shouldn't have a life or make time for yourself or your family, as if being a manicurist was my hobby or something.... I recently ran a special that if you pre-purchased a pedicure your received the a 2nd 1/2 off I had a client purchase the 2 certificates that had expiration dates on them...(Mind you she is not my only client and I don't have a memory of steal)...She came in got a pedicure and paid cash, 2 weeks later she said "oh I forgot to use my certificate" I stated to her bring it in and use it before it expires the next time because I didn't remember that you purchased them...She called to tell me that it had already expired....Well if you'd like I can honor it at half off...Now both of the certificates are expired cause she brought them both in for me to look at....I'm sorry the most I can do is 1 pedicure at half off, the special was designed so that you would come in and maintenance your feet regularly, 1 for each month I can not honor the special as they are already 2 months expired, not to mention that if you had a gift card from Target or any other major store and it was expired they wouldn't honor it either. Lynette - You did the best job you could have done to satisfy this client and yet she still did not respect your profession enough to allow you to do your job correctly nor did she respect the fact that you were using a professional product on her...Tell that poorlittle woman that you can't warranty the product that she purchasedfrom QVC cause it is not a professional product that you carry nor doservices with...had it been a product that you carried or used for yourservices that you would have warrantee it...Sorry...I'm also really baffled by the fact that she said she couldn't afford the services from you however she purchased a $30 item from QVC then turned around and asked you to used it on her rather then she do it her self....WOW! This is mybusiness not my hobby...I do not receive a paycheck from a majorcorporation and I am the boss....I can not continue to keep giving upmy time and services to others that have not made my time for services as a priority or the respect of my business any more! I work veryhard, pay lots of money for products and rent, marketing, website, cellphone and other items to satisfy my clients needs. My job as a selfemployed manicurist is to service and satisfy not only the clients butmy pockets as well.

I don't feel that I am able to provide the level of service that you require any longer. I like to believe that I know my limits and I am unable to continue at the level you require. You are quite particular and I respect that, so I am going to let you find a new salon in which to have your nails done. Have a beautiful day, and it was nice to have met you!
