Title: New Leaflet
Post by: jamesjames on February 10, 2007, 04:59:41 pm
I am just about to design a new leaflet, what is your opinion on having Domestic on one side & Commercial on the other or do you think I should keep it seperate.

Many thanks
James

what are you going to do with the leaflet? post it through domestic letterboxes?

if so I'd make the leaflet mostly aimed at that market with just a small mention that you also do industrial & commercial work.

It seems showing that u are local has a really big impact on people these days as well as using your own name and like mike says poss a photo, it all helps people relate to you as a real person as oppossed to a faceless big company.

Many people who have phoned us in the past, like to know where we live :o, as if it gives them a bit more confidence in u.

As you say with people liking somone local i often find that is the only reason somone has chosen me to clean there carpets.

Quoted for a lady two roads away from me to clean her lounge my quote was £58 she then pulls out a leaflet offering a lounge cleaned for £15 :o.
I told her that is my quote and asked how could this other company really only charge her £15 when they are based almost 90 miles away. I don't think so!
She phoned back later that day and booked.

I don't have a picture of me on my website but now I've had a hair cut today I think i'l get the camara out and stick my mug shot on there. 8)

Its sign of a religion we call Christianity over here in England. Unlike you Welsh we gave up our Pagen sacrificing and sunworshiping ways about a 1300 years ago.

Just a little joke from my Merchant Navy days (Some folks reckoned that "not straight " meant you liked women)! But that's another story and a LONG time ago!

I see those fish signs quite a bit. Why the fish sign to represent Christianity? Is it because of the last supper and all that?
