hard to keep up!
« on: September 19, 2011, 07:28:33 pm »
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.

is that so james lol

our leaflets are A3 folded twice, double sided, all the services we do and their prices and pictures. I believe you cant show the customer to much info about what there buying.

nothing to do with my previous project, we have always done mass leafleting each year.

Where abouts in crawley are you james? I live in maidenbower, you should pop over for a beer!

hi lee

for the 130 customers you picked up in 7 weeks - how many leaflets dropped to achieve that - im not in your area by the way - and im a one man band so another 50 a month would be my limit at the moment.

iv only dropped 1000 at a time perodically and get mixed results from 1- 9 confirmed customers - do you find putting prices on flyer increases response rate??

would be greatful for feedback lee if you could help?

Its hard to say exactly. we do 2-3 thousand a week on average. jogpost did 12,500 for us last sunday! and I will be having them back to do another 10,000 in a few weeks.

I find that putting prices on the leaflet is good as the calls that come are customers not quotes, so I dont waste my time driving all over to houses we may not get

Hi Lee,

Just curious, you say you put prices on your leaflets, but how do you accurately price a house up as they all vary in sizes / amount of windows etc etc  ???

Hi Lee,

Regards  :)

same for us....alot of our work is in rural areas...its just impossible to quote before looking

but i can say it would work in housing estates etc

if you search pryors crawley in google you will find his website

pretty simple pricing...i can honestly say that if i were a customer looking..it would sway me, as i can see a price before i phone up...and if im phoning...then ive made my mind up already

i guess its easier to quote wfp without veiwing...as dificulty getting to windows is far less than ladders

also...flat glass..squares...leads...it doesnt matter like it would traditional
