just over 5000 houses / businesses every month
3 month 1/2 page ad £140 ish total (that without haggling at the mo)..
Thanks

I've been in our Parish mag for over a year now; the only window cleaner in there; guess how many phone calls I've had from it?
Nil!

i am in one, and get something every month, i guess its the area and how saturated

Happy with the coverage and area
overall cost is ok (£140) i think tbh...
1/2 page ad = A6 size
15k coverage
a6 15k leaflets = approx £90 ??? plus Distibution cost even at say £15 per 1K.. = £225
so total leaflet price = £315
May take a punt in the mag as only window cleaner in there..
Would you ?

Great ad btw mate
Same kind of mag
I'm not into the conny / gutter cleans and that as extras ...
think i'll go with it over the 3 months if i get 10 new custys say it'll cover the cost after 1 clean

Nice add frank dont have a glossy mag like that were i live but have been considering local community publication as just moved recently and their is not really any decent window cleaners in this area .
Cheaper than flyers for me at the minute fairly skint due to renovating house .
Go for it Paul it might work better than flyers more so if you can do something similar to what Frank has done you could do it for the windows and carpet cleaning good luck mate . Mike

I use 3 local mags
1 community and 2 church
Costs 70 quid for the 2 church monthly and 130 for the community quarterly for the year together with shop window advertising and leaflet drops has produced all my work
I got 6 customers from the mags starting from last sept equating to 60 quid every 4 weeks so it is worthwhile for me as long as thoes customers stay for a while
The shop window adverts which I do 12 locals per month which is £15 has returned twice that for very little outlay
The leaflets are hit and miss I drop around 1000 week usually get a couple of jobs a month from them
