So is a6 too small? If they were in need of a window cleaner then all they need to see is the words window cleaner to get there attention wouldn't they?

[Smudger]

I would say a6 is too small unless all you are going to put on the flyer "window cleaner call 01234 xxxxxx"   Otherwise its all a bit small and fiddley looking. A6 always seemed harder to get through the letterbox without getting 'crushed'

Definitely give it a go. I pay £250 for 5,000 A5 printed and delivered. Out of that I would expect about 20 new custys and a couple of nice big facia jobs as well.   

is that a company local to you or a national one?

It's a local one i'm afraid.

Waste of time the multi drop leaflet distribution, I've just paid someone £195 to do 5000 for me and not had a call yet 
Not sure how many he's done yet but started last week so must have put quite a few out, most I suspect have gone straight in the bin.
If you do go for leaflets just get them printed and deliver them yourself, better still just stick to canvassing, been out today for a couple of hours and picked up a £20 job and a £25 job.

Gonna start canvassing next week again, once I get in the flow ill be ok

[HampshireWindowCleaning]

You might as well mate, I don't enjoy it but there's no better way of finding new customers.

Are the school holidays not a risky time to be leafletting? If they are not away they are up to their backsides in dealing with Kids… Would have thought they would be less interested that normal in the bumph that comes through the door..

you need to have ways of checking to make sure leafletting is done right. i make sure im cleaning windows in the same area so they see me and i see them .
 meetup with them at lunchtime ,if they are doing it properly they will have a few stories to tell of things that have happened such as chatting to a weirdo .  count accurately how many leaflets you give them ,if you give them 300 they should run out of them erly and be ringing you for more but if you give them a 1000 there should be many left over at the days end . if not  any in the bag they are chucking them away somewhere

Ditch the leaflets and go and canvass for custom, save yourself time and money and choose your own customers instead of waiting for the phone to ring not knowing what sort of job it will be and still having to go there to quote and maybe not even get the job in the first place!.

iv built up a big round  on leaflets so i know it works-but ONLY if you make sure its done right. you  got to be ready to give a quote over the phone soon as they call , no time to go and have a look . However you can always backpeddle once you get there if its got an extra floor or summat .
  i did doorknocking when i first started and got a headstart that way but personally prefer leaflets

We was out 2 hours yesturday and picked up 9 new 4 weekly customers in 2 roads. £140 total. With leaflets you simply can not do that which is why i choose to canvass!. No messing about and straight new custom as and when i want it.

Agreed - we only leaflet because of high workloads - brings in a steady stream of customers but canvassing wins hands down every time
