whats best type of leaflet
« on: February 22, 2012, 04:22:44 pm »
thinking of new concepts for leaflet to go out i know a lot on here have differing opinions of keep it simple etc to folded designs

what type of design have people had great success with this is the main method il be using from now on to pick up new customers cant be arsed with canvassing unless next door etc to our original customers

any one got any good example for me

can't be arsed lol ?!

to be honest mate i have had simple postcard sized leaflets that i printed myself when i first started out black and white, and now we have professionally printed full colour ones with pictures that look the muts..... the difference is none whatsoever get exactly the same amount of customers 1% if your lucky, the only reason i chose to go with pro ones is because they give off a more professional image for myself and i can't print them as cheap as you can buy them

how are you printing your leaflets ? do you pay for the ink or do you pay for the photocopies, either way you would be very near the £50 my friend ;-p

The best leaflet is the one you hand to the customer personally, canvassing them at the same time. I started 3 years ago; I printed 3000 leaflets; I canvassed for 3 months and have never knocked a door / delivered a leafet since. Total advertising spend aside from leaflets £10 + website (done in return for a clean and I now pay a twice yearly hosting charge of £70-ish). I've a great balance of custies, with a whole load more on the way now spring is round the corner (i've tended to grow the customer base by around 15% year on year just by word of mouth recommendation/website/seeing the van.

I've never dropped leaflets, nor would I. I think to myself what I do with junk mail - I bin it.
