Hi everyone
« on: May 22, 2013, 10:57:06 am »
Ive been away for a while due to health problems but ive now had my surgery (open chest!) and im back in business.

lots of exciting new things to look forward to over the next few months. Just ordered brand new vivaro and system from ionic.

Going to try some new marketing this summer. Having an exhibition stand made up and going into local shopping malls and so on.

I have also put together a team of 3 soon to be 4 female canvassers who are going out 2-4 days a week door knocking and leafleting. so far there getting great results.

Lee have you priced up exhibition space in a shopping center , I was quoted over £1000 about 5 years ago for the Potteries shopping center for a 7 day run, when I was in a different industry, and the more the footflow the more expensive they are .......interesting idea though.

Sounds about right. in fact my local mall is about £2000 for a week. However im known on here for doing the countries biggest leaflet campaigns in the window cleaning industry, 250,000 last year. each time I do a drop of 30k the print and delivery combined cost £3k and we may get 50-70 houses.

Once the stand is paid for about a grand you have it forever. the local mall have 250k people through it a week so if we got say 100 customers I would be pleased with that.

I saw a guy on a local bootfair signing customers up on he's window cleaning round using he's big banner to wheel them in. I asked how he was getting on and he said 30 customers in 4 hours. Id imagine at a shopping mall you would do as good or even better. Defo a good marketing technique

I think it will be worth a try.

I always knew canvassing worked ive done lots of it. With my new team im trying to combine our leaflet with door knocking. so far so good and the girls are earning themselves very good money, everyones a winner!

Mick, where are your canvassing stats? I was enjoying looking at those on your profile???

Try and not do the shopping center when we have a really good week weather wise, as the foot fall will drop dramatically.

That's expensive. It costs me about half that and my return is greater. I can't give the exact figure because I don't monitor it too closely but my net growth in customers since starting an ongoing campaign in December is 80 customers. Actual new customers is probably around 90-100. Total leaflets delivered is around 30,000 give or take.

I was being sarcastic.

On the contrary, I spent too much time on here, as do we all.
