I decided two weeks ago to have a double page add in a little mag that comes out monthly, and delivered free to homes quite local to me. It looks a bit like a parish magazine, but it isnt one!
Anyway i have been advertising with this little mag for over a year now and it has always more than paid for itself :) So i decided to do a SPRING MADNESS OFFER this month to see what happens, you know the score, ie 2 for 1, or, your three piece suite cleaned and your lounge done for free!! so i booked the two centre pages of 4 different directories local to me, which would go out to 26k homes.
To day it went out in the first area and it generated 17 phone calls, of which i have made 13 appointments over the next two days ;D ;D ;D now that is only from the first book on the first day, and based on that i will be running this SPRING MADNESS OFFER until Xmas 2005!!!
Who said it was lean times ;D ;D
Safe and happy advertising ;)

Why i ask is we have a local directory that goes to 26k homes.
