will be dropping about 3000 a weekend and a thou during the week so about 4 months give or take .......... if I dropped em all in 1 go wouldnt be able to handle the work so doing it gradual.

4000 a week will give me 30 ish new jobs and a few add ons so that will be pushing it but my part timer Joe will be happy to take on extra days as idea is to get him out in van by himself 5 days a week by end of summer.

I'd expect 400 new customers enquiries from 40000 black and white leaflets. I suppose you might get better than that from colour but I've never tried.

Good luck.

That's 400 enquiries mind. Take off the 20-30ish who want 1 offs leaves you say 375

If you are pricing correctly you will lose another third of those because you are too expensive. That's say 250.

I'd say so. We consistently get a 1% hit rate from black and white flyers. Even in areas that we have flyered many many times.

Post by: Paul H on February 07, 2013, 06:56:41 pm
Does tri fold work best ?? Just curious I know it'll give more room than say a5 double sided

Be nice to see some comments on tri fold v a5 double sided as the extra cost in printing is double maybe

I still think simple is best. I even question whether the new design I have is overkill.

I would love to support a local firm, I did when we first set up but with margins getting tighter and costs everywhere going up, then based on cost alone (and good reliability), for me it's Print Carrier every time.

I am looking to get my first lot of professional coloured leaflets done soon and these two sites' prices are the cheapest (the second incredibly so):

www.stressfreeprint.co.uk (http://www.stressfreeprint.co.uk)

www.leafletfrog.co.uk (http://www.leafletfrog.co.uk)

But be warned I have obviously never used either.

We never stop leafleting. We do 500+ per week.

I did ask him, he has a lot on his plate at the moment but said he would 'give it some thought' I will see him this week and enquire again.
