I am fascinated as I did run a team of distributors

But did fall down due to costs

So been checking out . Jogers and Dor to Dor Each claiming an average of 1000 leaflets in 5hrs is the norm

Was Hilary the one with the shoulders? If so she had the vans I believe that could have been utilized for the drop offs. I would guess they must use students or the like for the delivery of the leaflet so would doubt they had a very substantial contract.
There's a guy local to me who turns over £50,000+ on leaflet drops.

For those saying "why didn't they question them on vat/expenses/costs/whatever"?

Have you considered that the initial pitch has been massively edited and what is 5-6 mins on telly will actually be more like a 30-60 minute pitch?

Those dragons havnt got to where they are by throwing £100k's at business'/ideas without knowing everything there is to know about that business.

Makes great tv though.

I would suspect 60 minute pitch minimum plus a bundle of supporting documentation.

in the end it was 12,500. that was 5 weeks ago now and we even got a new customer from that drop yesterday!

I was very impressed by the way they worked and the results have been fantastic! hits to our website went up 5x in the following week and so far we have had 42 new customers and a couple of bigger money 1offs, one of which was a driveway jetwash which was £450 and took me a day - that alone almost covered the cost of the delivery.

we are not doing anymore leaflets this year now but I plan to use them several times next year.
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
