Post by: Sapphire Window Cleaning on October 17, 2009, 09:59:22 am
Does anyone here know of any good leaflet/flyer distribution companies in and around Essex?
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, reasonable prices but they can't fit me in til middle of December mate, plus with all these strikes I wouldn't be sure if they would ever get delivered.
Hoping to have the leaflets out within the next 2-3 weeks.
I have got someone dropping 5000 off in the town that I'm in, and I am dropping some off around some of the villages, but really need the large amounts going out.
I only have 26 customers down here so far. not good.

We are also in the Yellow pages and Yell.com, plus we are going to advertise in the local paper ever week now.
I think the hardest part about building around is actually getting your name and service in as many homes as possible.
once you are there it will just snowball.

If doing that, they are paid 50% and 50% after 2 weeks to insure all leaflets are delivered

AAAh now theres a thought, I might get in touch with the local employment agencies, get 2-3 guys working for me and I will be going out with them so I know they will be delivering them.
just have to work out how much I would have to pay and how many they could deliver.

most would say 1000 a day, when I deliver them it is more like 300/400 a day because I know which type of houses I am targeting so only get the right calls to cut down on wasting more time quoting.

not being sexist, but in my experience women do leafletting best  and just give them a map each and a marker pen to colour in the streets as they do them .  get them to text u as they start  each time, then u can meet up with them to pay em at end of each session.you will know if they are doing it by the phone calls u get from the leaflets
