Hi Martin
If you distributed the leaflets yourself and IF you count that time as no cost then that one job has paid for the leaflets and some in hand.
and you may get repeats and referals.
You on a winner.
-
Took me about 3 weeks to get 3 jobs fro 750 leaflets so they may phone you in the future :)
-
1 in a 1000 is 0.1% so you have done 100 times better then you thought! ;)
-
I've just delivered not many more than 50 and have 2 jobs from them to quote.... It's swings and roundabouts this leaflet lark!!!!
-
Did a job this week from a leaflet sent last year
He still wanted the offer we said NO
-
goin to get stuck into my leaflet distribution next week. been getting plenty of work from my ads but seem to get a dry spell in the middle of the month. so after quoting all the jobs booked in so far and all are in dif areas of a town goin to chuck out 150 each day before the job just icase the phone rings during so am in the area to do the quote.
-
Consistancy is the key, 1000 leaflets delivered every week would give a greater return, Clinton 3 out of 750 is excellent what was the average spend?

Hi
Well, did the job and went the extra mile (got some candle wax out of the rug) and now off to Eastbourne on Monday to do her mothers carpet as well, she also asked for more leaflets as her friends are renting out their flat.

Clinton that's good 750 leaflets and £180, Martin what was your job ticket? I'm sure you can see what I'm getting at??

only done the leaflet push once and did about 15 I think from 8k over a 2 week hit .
Leaflet and a follow up call ( by a real D/C ) will bring in 1-10 , I just know, I can feel it .
This game aint been tapped this way yet but when Im in the right position I will put the money where the mouth is .

The thing is with us cc is that we are bloody lazy!
Shaun
-
I`ve had people phone me 6 or more months later wanted jobs done.
-
I dont just think its down to lazy
-
I have had people call me 15 years or so later I know this as I used to use my mothers telephone number and got a lady call for a job from a leaflet.
Shaun

Shaun ;D
Am lazy too as thankfully work coming in as most of my leaflets are still in the box ::)
-
Shaun, my example not as good as yours but....
Just done one today. Nine years and 11 months since I was last there but had kept my card on the fridge.
Incidentally i knew that because I looked it up on Kev's super-duper Cleaners mate software. 8)
Something else I found out today as well.....
As you know I only do YP and not leaflets. looking at my stats from Cleaners mate I see that in the 3 months to end March I obtained £2014 of new business from YP. My advert costs about £2800 for a full year.
As you may have worked out by now I am renewing my YP subscription. ;D ;D
-
My YP seems to be the most active source of income and enquiries at the moment ::)
-
It pays to know your numbers Roger do you have a website aswell?

Working on it. My father-in-law is building it for me for free.
He's a very clever man but a bit of an anorak so it should be good.
Looking forward to all the talks on SEO on Monday. Father-in-law lives in N Wales so I'll have to go over there sometime to do some fine-tuning when we can sit down together.
The problem is that I am so busy I'm not sure when I'll be able to find the time. Perhaps when I take Rosie over to stay with her parents whilst I go off on my jollies to Crete in May.
I'll certainly look forward to receiving all the normal criticism (positive or otherwise) from you guys once I've got it finished.

Depends on how you take critisism never the less we are not customers so the best people to ask are the general public.

Am sure the site will be fine :)
As shaun says we are not the public so we look at the sites in dif ways :)

-
Least we know they do work :)
Maybe not in a great volume but a little :)
Like the idea of the postcards
-
Keep at it as we all know Mike makes it work for him.
Shaun
-
Was that £125 per thousand
or 10,000
In my opinion leaflets that cost more than £12 a thousand then make it very difficult to return a profit
-
Hi
It was £125 for 5000 A6 postcard printed both sides, this included artwork.
