I think sending out the invoice one month before,
then spamming with
weekly reminder emails is a good approach. And daily in your final
week before payment is due.
I've been guilty of forgetting to pay the invoice till I received the
reminder email on a couple of occasions now. My (poor) excuse for
those times is that I receive the invoice email and then within an
hour it's buried beneath the fold of my email client and I promptly
forget.
And I've been guilty of not getting around to processing payments
swiftly enough leading to people getting automated reminders when
they had already paid. That has to improve too, before I go about
tweaking anything.
I'm not having a go at anyone, I'm just trying to account for the
fact that whatever grace is given, that becomes the norm, and I'd
much rather the norm be up to 7 days past due.
Cheers,
Andy
