Free Estimates

Free Estimates.

This phrase has always intrigued me. Frequently seen adorning the side of labourer's vans: Free Estimates.

Is this really a unique selling point?

To be honest, if the best you can do is only "estimate" the price, and you're the professional, then surely I shouldn't be expected to pay for that?

Is there anyone out there who does charge, I wonder?

  1. It's like saying 'free enquiries', which would be just as silly!

  2. I like the ones that proclaim quality work and am looking round constantly for the ones that say we don't do quality work.
