Great time of year to be putting leaflets out!

Quiet times might be round the next corner, and make hay while the sun shines and all that :)

Christmas is an ideal time to capture that group of people who only have their carpets cleaned ready for the festive season. Good on you I say.

Leafleting in December is a great idea!

Post by: AshWhite on December 11, 2011, 11:03:46 am: My 2000 went out last week, already taken 1 booking for £120 - paid for leaflets & distribution, jobs a good 'un!

On a related side note, I've taken 3 bookings in the last 2 weeks from a leaflet drop I did in June/July!
