Cheers

LOL Neil,
hes not going tell you that. ;D

Looks like Pink Flyer is now FULL COLOUR.
But if my maths is correct 1.5 per flyer is a good price
-
is'nt the pink flyer A3?
who wants to spend £1500 on leaflets in one go! you'd better be confident it a good leaflets, otherwise its a expensive test.
and the leaflets cost that much you need solo delivery to get total effectiveness

Mike, last week , scs, iceland, natwest and hearing aid place i am sure they all had well over 100000 leaflets last week as well as in my door , I understand your point though .
-
do they use royal mail for distribution ?
-
The one making the most money is the printer! ( and alltec of course ) not the cc
-
Jason when i take as money as Natwest I'll print my leaflets by the 100k ;) ;), plus I bet they have top ad agencies designing them

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, who knows the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph and who at worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows his place shall never be with those timid and cold souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
For all of you who is quik to point a finger at All the "wrongs" in life! and not have the BALLS to try things before you point a finger?????

Hi Dan
The business cards are brill from there. I think they are £35.00 inc vat & delivery for 1,000, full colour, matt laminate both sides!
Very impressed for the price.
-
This thread is like watching TV with the sound switched off. I cant really understand what is happening.
-
Art--- If that was aimed at me, I can asure you I have plenty of balls, taken more risks than I care to remember and yes many of them went wrong. My reason for my comment is simple, as I have said before, I have five cc all sending out fast track letters through my door on a very regular basis. I can not see how this can work for them. They are all trying to get a slice of the same cake ( using the same knife ) at least now the leaflets will be colour!
Regards
Justin
PS Nice words though, very true.

Art Of clean, very poetic, but just waffle
some of us have stepped into the arena, Fallen into the Dust & flames of marketing mistakes, but like the Phoenix risen to try again.
we are here to give our opinion whether its listened to is up to the reader.

Fast trackers are not like the Solutions gang.
They will answer but only if you ask the right questions ;)

Guys - I would like to apologize!! Please I did not mean to start a war.
Sometimes it just seems that we are staring ourselves blind at things that are less important.
My previous reply was aimed at people who think that Alltec is just milking all fastrackers for our money where is exactly the opposite.
So please I apologize.
If it comes to the Pink Flyer – It was said on the conference call last night that he have found a printing company that can print full colour A4 leaflets for the same price as he can produce our own A3 leaflets. So the fastrackers might give it a go and see how it works - Alltec is not making a penny!!! But in this way giving all fastrackers a opportunity to improve our Businesses!!
Please forgive me if I came over as being rude

For Royal mail deliveries...
Make sure you say to them if it is the first time you use them as you would then qualify for a discount. You can book as many or as little as you want. I have 300 per week done.
-
3000 sorry and I did not mean lie about the first time you use them :o - this was aimed at all who have not used them before for real. Cost depends on how may you get done.
-
thanks Art,
ive recently seen a different version of pink flyer, well its not pink, its main point is 'the six step cleaning process, or you simply wasting your money' im sure you know it, i think its better than the 4 reasons one.

hi i used royal mail for a year doing about 5000 a week and it was rubbish i didnt even brake even
-
Hi
I've used royal mail, for the prices they charge you would expect them to be better than they are.

I find the biggest problem with leaflets is knowing whether they have been delivered.
I have used Royal Mail for 2 years with mixed responses. Is that because my leaflet was no good, Royal Mail didn't deliver. I don't know! I do know that some of my best customers have come from leaflets, and that I tend not get involved in a beauty parade when people contact from a leaflet.
I am interested in employing some local people to deliver and I believe some people who post on this site follow that route. I would like to know how you found them, how you pay them and what success you have had.

If you are getting Double sided A3 on coloured paper for 1.5p you are doing very well. OK forgot you the latest success.
Well Done.
But my point is I cannot buy the paper for that.

No they aint, what price list you looking at ???

Hi guys i think i have come across the famous pink leaflet before to be honest i didn't think it was very good it had so much info on it, like the customers are going to read all that crap everybody i asked thought it was poope also. Not for me, and why have a leaflet a4 size anyway whats the point you could fit your life story on one that size ;D
matt
-
Red your right 'no they aint' lol
i was looking at lower quantities, 10k there cheaper, above that the one you posted are cheaper.
Matt, some people make a mistake, like when i started, i used to say to customers, CD would have charged you £70 for that lounge i done for £35, of course the customer would agree with you and say "yes people must be mad paying that, why dont they use you"
so i was fooling myself, thinking i was right to be cheap and would get further doing so, ill tell you somthing, it got me no where!

Craig i dont understand your post mate its not in context with what i was on about is it?

The pink flyer works, for one it push the splash and dash away from you.
Also the sort of clients that read that Rubbish as you put it are the same People that read the Times, Guardian and Mail. The sort of clients that have nice houses no overheads and lots of money to spend. Its also aimed at the middle age women who has time to read it.
We are not selling to us that read the Red tops. The leaflet is a good filter for this and it does work. Try it you'll be supprised.

got this info today in post 5000 leaflets 130gsm gloss full colour ONLY 59 POUNDS DOUBLE SIDED 89 POUNDS

sorry Matt, what i was trying to say is, what your customers say to you is not good advice for your business,
they may tell you that the pink flyer is crap, but that does not mean it should not be used. or that it wont work,
i mean fast tracks been going how long? 5 years,
why are they still using it if it dont work?
-
oh i see mate. It's strange the leaflets i have been using up till now have been very basic and i mean basic but they always produce 2-3 jobs per 1000 and i know alot of people have kept hold of them. But lately i have just redesigned my leaflet which i think looks alot more professional and is to be printed in two colour instead of just black and white it will be intersting to see what response my new leaflet will get me. By the way Mark at D P design and print is printing my new leaflet and i must say i have been extremely impressed with there service i am yet to recieve them but he has been extremely helpful and would definately recommend him. It's cost me £68 for 10,000 2 colour leaflets all in. I have been quite fussy with the design as i wanted it to be perfect and he sent out as many proofs as needed not that he was not a very good designer it was mainly me changing my mind every 5 mins, so all in all very happy.

Still dearer on the A4 but bloody great prices on the A6
Cheers for the link Craig iv just ordered 10,000 A6, i will post back on this thread in a week when i get them and let you all know the quality.
ps, dont know about the pink flyers yet, but one thing i will say for fastrack is there laptop presentation and maintenance plans are great.
Iv just booked in a 5 bed house at just over £700 a year for a clean and protect, thats 61pence a square foot.
I would never had the bottle to have quoted that before, iv only quoted 9 customers so far and 3 have signed up for the maintenance allready.
-
To be honest guys i don't know to much about fasttrack so if anyone could give some info? that would be cool.
cheers matt
