Is it a good idea to have a price list on the back ? or is it just a waste of time

i wouldnt put a price list on it
do you have a landline tel no.
you mentioned frames ( upvc  twice )
specialist residential ? do you do ( or want commercial )
the look of your leaflet is fine and i see no reason why it wouldnt get you new customers , good luck!

thanks for the reply i have changed upvc to fascia i don't want my home line on their but i'm looking into getting a 0800 number, as for commercial im quite happy to build a residential customer base first. walk before you run and all that rubish  ;D

if you are insured i would also include that on your leaflet. by the way thanks for highlighting  inkscape  :)

I had thought about adding full insured on the leaflet but didn't think it would lead to more customers.
I'm also looking a getting another landline just for bussiness so that i can have a landline number on the leaflets.

Panorama have you tried inkscape yet then ? i takes some getting used to but for free i find it quite good  ;D

are you feeling fit ?    that excellent leaflet should rake in no end of work


 my rounds chocka now, but in the early days i leafletted with a  6" x 2" strip of paper with just WINDOW CLEANER 0795 - - - 0 +my name in an amatuerish scrawl  with a marker pen . then i stuck on a silver star sticker to each  strip-leaflet 

 these worked well, with the grass root type customer

i have to say im well impressed by that leaflet!

not sure weather to add fully insured to it. if i added fully insured to the leaflet would it attract people wanting to claim against my insurance for thing that are already damaged ?

im only going to do 5-10 thousand at a time that way i will be able to keep up with the new work  :)

I reckon I got more success with my black and white home made leaflets that just said business name window cleaning and phone numbers, I have no mathematical back up just thats a feeling I have, the fancy leaflets I have posted are good for gutters etc, but right now I really do not want they jobs

The general look of the leaflet is good.
As has been said already, a landline number would help.
IMO, a glaring omission is the lack of an address.
