Title: What do your flyers look like?
Post by: Mitchellmoxo on January 01, 2013, 02:10:44 pm
I print my flyers 2 on an a4 page and then cut them in half to make a5.

What have you found gives the best results?

does that free clip art picture really paint a good picture about you and look anything like a window cleaner ?

I would always have a landline number on there as pointed out already.

good that you have a website addess on there :) less is more, just get your message across

on your website the java pop up window does not work, just use an email link till the site is completed imo

In my area I would say 80% of my work has come from flyers I have done myself, didn't get any calls from professional printed ones.

Yep I agree because with the professional ones people automatically think you may be more expensive/commercial maybe.

Just my thoughts
