Thought would get some feedback on this before it goes to print, be kind  

[C A Payne]

i like it, its bright & simplistic.... some flyers tie themselves up in nots with blah! blah! blah! meself, if an article or a flyer has to much info, i'll end up not reading it.... simple & to the point, showing clearly what you about, you better brace yourself for an influx of work...... regards Charlie.

I see a flyer as a statement of what you do and more importantly the qulaity of your work, Mike H is the daddy when it comes to leaflet knowledge but to me it looks very cartoony standard also if you are paying for paper (the most expensive bit) why no reverse side?

Proof in the pudding is how much it will pull when it gets out there and what quality of inquiries you get, but if you do nowt you'll get nowt!!

I would guess you would want me to  honest rather than kind.... so to be truthful I think its crap

but if you are like everyone else who put up their leaflet and ask for opinions you don't want to hear the truth you want to be told how clever you are for designing such an eye-catching leaflet and how you need to brace your self for the influx of work it will bring in : :

but trust me start again and don't try and reinvent the wheel, ok it will bring in some work if you put out 10000000s...... but a piece of bogroll with your number would also bring in work if you put out millions

if you are paying for printing & delivery then give your self the best chance possible of getting a response by using a decent leaflet

Shall I put a giraffe on it? 

[Colin Day]

Shall I put a giraffe on it? 

[davep]

Its just an idea. Trying to swerve away from the stock pics of the guy with chinos etc

[C A Payne]

i bet your glad you asked now dave, it looks like the bogroll is the way to go!      i still like it....

[Mike Halliday]

Dave don't forget you are not designing the leaflet for yourself or us but for a person who has never seen a leaflet for carpet cleaning before ( or if the have they probably don't remember)

so where we are sick of seeing the bloke in chinos cleaning a carpet..... for the customers its totally new.



 

[davep]

I never designed it, got a mate to give it a go. 

Think with the amounts of leaflets out now from charity shops, pizza places etc you need one that is a biy quirky so it gets put on notice board.

 Maybe it needs an offer on it?

[Steve Chapman]

In my humble opinion its devoid of any information,

No info on what you do,

how you do it,

no headline,

no call to action,

no special offer / discount, ( accept for free spotter )

no deadline to work to,

no usp,

99% of people have no idea what truckmounted cleaning is ,

As has been mentioned imagine you are a customer reading the leaflet and imagine what would tempt

you to read a bit more and pick up the phone.

In my expereince a leaflet without a real big offer on it is a waste of time and money,

Regards

Steve

[Shaun_Ashmore]

An offer is a call to action but if you are leafleting a set area day in day out is it worth it? then you could look at the upsell or bigger job ticket of 3 for 2 etc I think it depends on what you are looking for if it's for immediate jobs then you need a big 'BUY NOW'

Shaun

PS I've just done some leaflets around my wife's shop, she advertises on one side me on the other, I pay for printing and I pay for delivery (something wrong there me thinks) the pink flyer is having a renaissance.

[derek west]

dave

go for it mate

leafletting is a lottery not a science

if it lands on a carpet that needs cleaning they'll give you a bell.

all this blx spouted about call to action, special offers etc..etc... aint gonna force someone to have there carpets cleaned.

its all about luck, if its a service theyve been thinking about and your card comes through the door, they'll ring you. simple as that.

ive had 10 jobs per 1000 and then ive had no jobs per 1000. and guess what, yep you guessed it, same fkn leaflet.

don't pee about mate, get em printed and get the fkrs through the god damn mo fo letter boxes. you go girl

[davep]

Erm ok Derek

Going to add "ask about this weeks special offer"

[derek west]

yeah special offer, oooo and don't forget the call to action, then theres the explanation of the truckmount. don't forget the chino's. and that picture of wine spilling on the carpet,

come on dave, seriously.

you liked that leaflet and thats why you put it on here. it was all ready for print.

stick with the plan.

the leaflets fine mate, it simply says, "would you like your carpets upholstery or leather cleaning? then give us a call"


as nike would say, just do it.

[Steve Chapman]

A straight forward leaflet would work if you were the only carpet cleaner in Liverpool but unfortunately theres probably loads so you need something to stand out from the others, and in this cash strapped period of time people will go for the best offer.

I can only speak from experience,

Ive tried both ways and a leaflet with an offer with a two week deadline has always brought the most calls.

If you dont have a deadline then theres no urgency in the mind of the customer to call even if they intend to.

If you go to the trouble of designing, printing and delivering the leaflets why miss of any info that just might increase the interest, even if its just a fraction.

Its a no brainer really


Steve

[Colin Day]

It's a nice looking leaflet and screams out 'quality'....

Agree with the dead-line sentiments...

[Jamie Pearson]

Just did a targeted leaflet drop promoting our floor restoration services.

Some nice pics, list of surfaces worked on and services for them.

The only call to action was Find us on Facebook, Watch us on YouTube and visit us at address/url.

Enquiries after 2 hours of drop beginning and significant increase in Facebook visits/likes.

Shame our website is baws.

[Paul H]

i think its good eye catching and quirky.....better than a takeaway menu....maybe not on a Saturday neet though

No expert but if i had top notch truckmount gear i'd be damn sure i was selling it...

also agree deadline special offer to grab attention and get the customer to action..

but graphics layout design etc... i like...... 

[mark_roberts]

I think thats the worst flyer Ive ever seen.  It looks cheap and nasty. 

Theres tons of info out there about even the basics of flyer design.  Read and then try again.

Having said that if it pulls well send me one and I'll eat it.
