Looks good to me, as I was told that I was to expect around 3 - 5% for a typical leaflet drop.

the leaflet industry as a whole expect between a quarter and a half percent, if they    get 1% they are ecstatic, if they et 2 % they get booldy paranoid because they cannot cope with the demand.
funny old world ehh

Paul,

I want to know what you are selling as I see your MSN is somthing like lover-man

If I was getting 6.7% I would be amazed.

If I was getting 1% I would be happy.

I haven't bothered using leaflets yet, I seem to be getting at least 1 client per week from the Yellow Pages, but I am planning on sticking a few under windscreen wipers when the better weather comes. Seems a simple way of doing it without wasting too much valuable time. Say i I am parked up at the supermarket or especially DIY stores as I will be there shopping, take say half an hour more and do the windscren jobs. Even if I only get 1 ccustomer, I would be surprised and happy ;D

Jan,

Can I warn you there is an act going through parliament, currentley in House of Lords, which will mean that you will have to check with the Local Authority before you hand out leaflets in streets or put them on Cars.

Local Authorities will have authority to make area a no Leaflet Zone.

Its to stop all these bars and night clubshanding out their prmo stuff.

It does not apply to distribution through Letterboxes.

It will probably get Royal Assent before The General Election.

Basicly you will have to check if area has been designated a No Leaflet Zone.

I think Local Authorities will just make a blanket order.

The fines arequite stiff.


Paul

We all look forward to seeing your leaflet.

Regards

Ian
