It's still a good way for someone starting off and has some advantages over other methods but anyone who has done it a long time and I'm sure you've noticed this Shaun if you still do them is response gets less and less every year. It's a bit like spending £1000s on YP and seeing less and less response whilst websites and social media stuff just keeps going up. 

Sometimes we carry on doing things out of habit. In the cold light of day it looks like it's only going one way though. I would be gutted to let my girls go though, which I know is not logical but they have done me proud.

Any advertising when you are quite is better than none...leaflets are cheap and work will not come to you if your sitting on your backside moaning about having no work.

I find a leaflet works well. Any type of advertising is good. Its all about using what ever space it is, to its best ability. Example. We placed an ordinary advert in a newspaper for 6 weeks and had hardly anything from it. We decided to test the method by placing an advert of the same size but advertising FREE carpet clean.The phone went mad and yes we went out and cleaned all respondants a carpet for free. But It wasn't the advert that was actually our advertising... It was the FREE carpet clean. We got loads of ...how much for this... how much for that and have gained over 40 regular anual cleans from it. Another good thing about the FREE carpet clean was it can be run against tax as an expense.

Think you'll find that Mark delivers them on an evening.
I usually average about 140 an hour but probably more
on terraced houses.

Dont like posting leaflets,but as Im still fairly new to CC,its a necessary evil.

As said earlier,if you have no work,its better than doing nothing.
