noticed your thread on a topic re sending 30k leaflets out.

how do you send them out ? royal mail?

if so what sort of cost is that and are we looking at a 0.25% return from flyers?

would appreciate your advice

Mark. I Use a private distributor who delivers my leaflet with a glossy A5 magazine.

Used them for 10ish years, the nice Thing about them is they only employ retired people so they tend to be honest & reliable so the leaflets get delivered. The cost is £20/1000


Printing of 30k leaflets is £210 from printcarrier

Mike that was your best leaflet. Problem now is.
1. You have given that one out to too many cc over the years so they have all mimiced it.
2. More people on the forums now picking your brains and then putting leaflets out.
3. Past few years nearly every company has been dist leaflets , i can remember getting a many a 15 leaflets trough my door one week. I think people get pis sed off seeing them and then auto bin them.
4. The guy you had working with you looked a bit scary and i would not have let hIm in my house near the  kids  ;D

Joking aside if you look like odd job I wouldn't put a picture on a leaflet. All you pretty boys with big pecs milk it for all its worth.

My wife works with me and we advertise it as so.
Some people like it that there will be a woman on the premises (so their not alone with a male) whilst some clearly see this as a male orientated occupation and a woman couldn't possibly do it!
You can't be everything to all people is the rule.
