No matter what kind of business you run there will be customers who get upset with you. Sometimes it will be because of a mistake you made, and sometimes it will be because of an unrealistic expectation on their part.
The reason behind the complaint isn't nearly as important as how you handle it when it comes along, because a complaint provides you with a great opportunity to strengthen your relationship with your customers that you can't pass up.
Be sure first that you have your office set up ahead of time to make the environment friendly. You should definitely have some greeting cards printed up to put in your waiting room to greet people with. The cost of the color printing for getting those greeting cards will be small, and can be done along with your business cards, which you'll be getting done anyways.

You also need to be sure to accept that there was a problem and don't bother trying to defend your company. You don't want to make the customer think that you're trying to say they are the ones with the problem, not you.
If you can successfully solve the problems the person presented you with, you'll have a very loyal customer on your hands. Try to see if they'll be willing to give you a testimonial about their experience with you in solving the problem. Your advertisements and color printing will be improved by an effective testimonial added to them.
