Minimum service contract volume for MPC2050?

[copyaction]

Have a customer just bought an mpc2050 and only runs 400 - 500 total pages per month.
They would like to have it covered under a Service Contract covering parts, labor and supplies.
What is the lowest viable volume and pricing that would be worth covering this at?

Re: Minimum service contract volume for MPC2050?

CPC (Cost Per Copy) Per Month. Minimum 2k B/W per month. Markup price for color W/ no minimum.
Add your costs up @ CPC. Toner, DV and parts. Mark these prices up by whatever you please.
Add a few $0.0? per extra function. (Print/ Scan/ Fax)
The minimum covers labor time, but if you take your time and do the call right the first time you make good money.
Find a good IT/Copier guy and pay him per call for connectivity and charge customer per call for IT support and split the money.
A monthly contract is easier to manage and money is coming in every month.
Annuals cost you money if there is a massive machine failure, a monthly you only have to pay back the remainder of the month.

Use your head and get creative.
