    Goodwill, customer satifaction, increase your "word of mouth" referrals, because I'm a giving sort of guy, basically because it would make the customer and myself feel good, can't think of any better reason really.
    Why would you not?,venue restrictions aside.

    Because I run a business, not a charity or a hobby or something I do for a laugh. It has nothing to do with goodwill or customer satisfaction and I certainly wouldn't want a referral because I work for free.

    It has EVERYTHING to do with customer satisfaction, the modus operandi of your business is to keep the customer SATISFIED.

    i would not work for free for an hour or how long.

    It just doesn't make any sense..

    i've equipment costs, National Insurance, etc etc to pay for.


    Par6, good luck with that, i can't possibly see how it would work.
