Thanks Murdie and Matt,

im getting 5000 done to start with. Im soo fussy it seems, to me they look a little plain, i had thought of getting her to put some kind of texture into the yellow background. Would that be too much??

It's obvously your call, but you could end up making it look to fussy. It is a simple straight forward service your offering and not trying to create a work of art.

thats spot on for me!

gives out a very friendly and pro look to your company, i would pretty much leave it as it is.

i to had 5000 double sided flyers done - fat flyers.com £99.00
i spent every evening getting them to change the smallest of details, nothing wrong with wanting the best look you can get - shows you take pride in what you do mate.

bloody hell matt!

thats cheaper than the other chap said and get 7 x the amount!

thats cheap, are they high gloss card double sided or paper?
Title: Re: leaflet design
Post by: Milltown Cleaning on October 27, 2009, 08:32:23 pm
was waiting on this!!

mine are 1/3 of A4 on 170gsm gloss.

I know its not the cheapest, but i wanted some good design work. and over here leaflets seem to be dearer. I didnt have the confidence to go with a web based company

Nice work that m8, you in business long? I was thinking of putting the powerwashing into my business at some point but not sure of how it would work out, any ideas?

That makes my flyers look crap, ive found that full colour over here in NI costs a fortune to get printed, i got mine designed on a5 in full colour but couldnt afford the outlay for them at the time and just got it altered by the printers to 1 colour how sick did i feel!!!

Title: Re: leaflet design
Post by: Milltown Cleaning on October 28, 2009, 03:12:07 pm
i started the ball rolling about this time last year, though i had worked with another man during university and the summers. Powerwashing is a good earner, though there is a higher set up cost and running cost.

Yea i have realised that too, some of the prices quoted on here are great but they dont seem to exist in the north!!

Well i cant necessarily afford it, but i see it as an investment that should hopefully pay for itself!!
I wanted my to look professional yet local, so i went with full colour.

These are the flyers i designed for my company.

In the coming months i will be offering a design and print service. The prices seem to be reasonable to what you guys have been paying. I've designed quite a few things for a few other cleaners. Just bare it in mind if you ever need some.
