Title: Has anyone had leaflets designed by a professional ?
Post by: Erithwc on October 17, 2011, 02:36:31 pm: Hi

I have been thinking about getting a leaflet done by a designer someone that knows what they are doing design wise.

Has anyone else had a leaflet designed by a professional designer has it been worth the outlay did you get a better response from it.

i contacted one designer and i was quoted £150-200 plus vat :o :o
Which is alot of money for a leaflet design but if it gets me a better response the investment would be worth it considering i would not change the design for 24 months

thanks erithwc

I found that they look very professional but in the right area.

I put 2000 out on an estate near me and had a very low response rate I then put another 2000 out in a posh area and the response was much better.

I cant be sure but I think they look expensive and therefore people assume that you are going to be expensive. ???

This always surprises me. You wouldnt dream of creating your own van, most of you you dont make your own poles, pumps and tanks. You dont weave and tailor your own clothes. Etc, etc.

But you do design your own leaflets, the thing that is meant to make customers want your services, maybe the most important thing you do. Strange.
