Title: 5000 flyers delivered

Would you agree?

Post by: Lee Pryor on May 27, 2010, 07:40:37 pm: it can be 0.3-1.5% depending on the area, how many are delivered with yours, the design of the leaflet, the weather at the time of delivery, the day of the week, the time of the day.

Im happy with anything over 0.5%

I think thats a good result,

we order batches of 30,000 a time, it takes 5-6 weeks to deliver them.

It has taken years to build a team of good leafleters, although I did do 120,000 through royal mail in 2007 total cost of that was £7000. you need to be on the lookout for people leafleting then aproach them, never advertise for one or they will end up in a bush, look into producing a larger amount of leaflets also.
