October Tips For Communication & Image Success
Tip for Organizations:
Question:
We are putting together a tipping guide for our associates who travel. What’s the appropriate amount to tip the hotel concierge?
Answer:
The minimum tip is $5.00. For example, if they print a boarding pass for you, tip no less than that. However, tip up to $15.00 if they obtain hard to get reservations at a restaurant or choice theatre tickets.
Tip for a Man:
Question:
staying at a hotel recently, I had to have my shirt pressed quickly. What would have been the correct amount to tip the maid?
Answer:
Depending how quickly the service was provided, at least $5.00 (Note: Normal service for shirt laundering is a day.)
Tip for Women:
Question:
I know the general rule of tipping for salon services is 20%. If the services cost $200.00 do I have to tip $40.00?
Answer:
If you were getting the services at a hotel or on a cruise, an automatic tip of 18 percent would be added. I would use this as a rule of thumb. This tip should be spread among all the folks who worked on you. The only exemption is the shampoo person. You would tip them separately.

How much should you tip an event planner for their services?

$50.00 is typical for the event planner and $25.00 for the assistant. Be sure to check the tips are not included in the contract so you don’t double pay.
