i struck lucky with a gold strike leafletting day  5 yrs back when i first started , these days things are tighter and leaflettin results less but leafletting allowed me to build a decent round of gentlefolk , now      employing 4 workers plus me and i always leaflet in springtime,early summer .

worth bearing in mind this last winter has caused a few half hearted windies to shut up shop, these houses are going begging right now.

Good point do use basic leaflets ie blue paper black ink or flashier leaflets tried both over the years but thinking of getting some basic ones done . Mike

i use basic leaflets. i have 2 different styles, ones in black ink and the other red n yellow ink. i jumble them up.   the main thing is you must have a decent leafletter to dish em out ,someone who loves walking, right now iv got one of these,wom in her mid 40s who hates standing still,shes an absolute gem  and a rare catch

Thanks for that mate i still think leafleting has its place was going to get some done for gutter and fascia cleans and chuck in  a free window clean good marketing really as always have to clean windows after doing gutters with wfp.

I have a guy who delivers leaflets for TNT he did a 5000 leaflet drop for me while doing his other leaflets total trust him to get job done which is a big thing and he only charges £10 for every 1000 delivered . Mike

sounds like youve got a good leafletting guy then MandM .£10 for 1000 is a truly great price.     what iv learnt is that you must keep at it, dont give up if 1 leaflettin session brings bad results.  GO UP A GEAR , plough on and surely you will strike gold .  
 its a bit like buying scratch cards,buy just 1 and its likely to be a dud.  buy a years stash and guaranteed there will be a winner in there , and the diffrence is these winners will last for life ,an eternal income .

I think it could depend on were you are based in the country leaflets have never really worked for me i had 5000 leaflets delivered last year and got 1 phone call .

Yet their is custys out their with filthy windows and some defo want a window cleaner but just dont call if i was to go knock on their door they get to see me and judge me  their and then and are likely to get me to clean the windows .

Going out canvassing  today for the first time in over year getting nervous but its got to be done more window cleaners are cropping up all the time so need to get the work before them .

Need someone like Mick Kent to to show me the way of the Jedi  . Mike

1 in 5000, that is shocking
