Title: The more you tell the more you sell? Or not?
Post by: mark_draper on February 01, 2008, 01:32:18 pm
I was just wondering if some of you more experienced marketers could tell me what you find works better. A leaflet which is graphically good looking with nice pictures, special offers etc or a leaflet based around information which informs the customer why they should have there carpets cleaned, health benefits, why they should use you etc.

I thought I'd better answer as it looks like everyone ignoring your post ( 44 read, no answers) ;) ;)

I have big photos of me! looking smart & trustworthy :) hopefully my leaflet lets people know I'm their local carpet cleaner.

my aim for this year is to make sure every person in my home town knows my face and knows I'm their local carpet cleaner, my leaflet is going to play a big part in this.
