Leaflets, who prints yours professionally?
« on: March 02, 2010, 06:24:41 pm »
Hi ,

i normally make my own flyers and they do ok , but i want to order some double sided gloss ones, i am fed up of messing about now, printing and cutting my own...

ad its proving expensive!

i once ordered one colour , blue...with white background... they were truly awful and 1960' s looking..... and got me very very little new work...

so i would like to ask who you guys use....?... not the home made ones guys...been there done that  ;)

cant remember now but im sure someone on here got 5000 for around £80... 300g paper double sided full gloss.

the problem i may have is, they normally want  you to upload a design in word or publisher... and i have neither... i use open office, and seriff.

anyway can you guys point me to a good printing company please  ;)

Have just ordered 5000 x A6 double sided 4/4 colour 250gsm gloss art for £43.70 delivered from www.1-2-print.co.uk.
Have used in the past and found to be good.
You can upload artwork as a jpeg or pdf (I use publisher, so this is easy)

Use cheap leaflet dot co uk they are the best and have samples.

But i have to be honest, my pro leaflets never worked as well for me as the home made ones.

In the end i stapled a nice little letter to the leaflet addresed to neighbours of existing customers, and this did work.

A guy on here said pick up one of your customer's neighbours every year and your round will double in size every year.It's called a geometric progression.

But there is a a better way still than even this, and that is to make your customers refer
you.The numbers involved are crazy so you have  to dim the lights a little at times or you'd go mad. You don't do any work, they do, and they love it and feel validated.
