Ghosts be gone

Hey Occulties,

Ive been pretty lenient with ghosting, and repeat business delaying or canceling services, because I understand sometimes things happen. However when I get a glut of this all at once, understandably it’s difficult to allow several people to screw me on payment or cancel last minute, costing me an appointment time someone may well have wanted and therefore a sale. I’m sure many of you understand that working for free isn’t exactly what I want to do, and not being able to trust virtually anyone to be timely in payment is furthermore not exactly a beneficial situation, especially when these same people expect a sale deal weeks after sales have ended.

So since this past week almost twenty people ghosted (3 people) or delayed payment/services (16), I’ve decided to institute a policy change.

I realize the ghosts are not apt to reappear. This used to be called the misused consultation charge, but now my dear ghosts, there’s a $150 fee for ghosting on a spell consultation. I don’t mean you decided to use another person’s services or something came up, I mean you vaporized and didn’t let me know if you were or were not interested. This is definitely to discourage anyone rude enough to do this from coming back. I personally detest this behavior. The least you could do is spend 30 seconds of your day letting me know you changed your mind.

For delaying payment or services, I will fine you $25 for a second offense in 4 months. I’m sick and tired of being pleasant when I also have bills to pay and a life outside of work, and people just, on a whim, cancel generally for reasons which are not all that solid.

Sorry for anyone upset by this, and as I courtesy to all my very good and awesome clients, I’m running a BOGO sale on all single spellcastings. ❤️
