So far then an average 0.5% return - would be intersting to know the figures when yhou have done leafleting and enquirys have slowed right down to what you would expect from just word of mouth / website hits

[Lee Pryor]

I buy the leaflets in pallets of 30,000 at a cost of £1425.00

delivery cost varies from 20 - 60 £ per thousand

[windiewasher]

so about all in on average say £60 per thousand leaflets delivered!
If you pick 2 or 3 customers per 1k that is not a bad return!

very true, but thats 0.5% customers not enquirees or quotes, plus the extra money from additional services, even if we stopped now it would still come in for a few weeks. im happy with 0.3% or more.

lee,  i  to can expand in business very easily, my only problem here where i am, their are only a handfull of experienced wfp workers, are you  hiring experienced  wfp workers, or training them up, how can you cope with the demand,

[Blue Frog Systems]

Lee - how many quotes have you done to get the 130 customers ?

[supernova77]

We have had over 130 new customers in the last 7 weeks! Im knackered as I do all the first cleans before passing them over to my staff.

All from leaflet campaigns and still coming in at about 5 a day, I cant believe its mid sep and going strong. We still have 16,000 to deliver before the end of the year. Also about 30% of them are having additional services with the first cleans.

I think its times like these that a decent setup come into their own in terms of a large tank and the right pole and brush combo, I like a nice high flow on first cleans.

It would be great to get another 150 before the end of the year.

Its a numbers game - The more leaflets you put out the more enquiries and customers you will get.

Easy peasy!

Hi lee
This is a great achievement. I congratulate you.
Would you say that leafleting for you is the highest form of advertising ?

Your feed back would be appreciated.

If you had the design and sent it to printcarrier you could get 5000 double sided gloss for about £70 done mate. Thats what i do 

[Sean Dyer]

i think theyre more of a folded small brochure than an postcard type affair  thats where the cost is higher

I got 10 000 a5 for £140 delivered

[Lee Pryor]

believe me they are a good price. yes they are more like brochures and are out only form of advertising.

To answer another question I dont do quotes, the quote is in the leaflet so 130 is 130.

7 new so far this week.

If I take on new people I prefer to train they fromn scratch. we are not looking to get any bigger after this year as I will be franchising from that point.

How have you priced them on your flyer? Do you get many at £130?

I have a similar way on my website and try to stick to large basic prices.

[Lee Pryor]

I was asked how many quotes to get 130 customers. the answer is 130, because we dont do quotes the price is in the leaflet so when someone calls they are a new customer not someone looking for a quote. If on the other hand someone calls that has not had a leaflet I price them up over the phone.

The only houses I actually go and see are ver big or unusal designs.

That makes sense now. I must read more carefully in future.

[mike roberts]

well done Lee!

Interested your prices do they include vat ??

Reason for q we have grown from pressure washing to include other services as we use wfp thinking about  building round using equip but we are vat reg.

Most local wcs to ourselves are not vat reg and are traditional hence our prices would be higher due to vat and wfp .. any thoughts ..

[TomCrowther]

Hi Lee, pleased to see your doing well and admire your attitude. I have almost the exact same pricing structure as yourself and offer the same services too. I have not put the prices on my leaflets in the past but will try doing so in the next run. Are you planning to provide a set number of initial customers for your franchisees? I think it's probably a good way to ensure they start on the right foot.

[Lee Pryor]

no, the franchisees will build their own round but I have built things in to get the ball rolling for them.

That's prob why you can expand quickly? No others in area?
