your right it is! its happening tomorrow so I will update you all this time next week.

Last weeks drop of 10,000has so far brought in 20 customers this week, some spending £200 on the first clean.

I hope to get 60 next week from tomorrows drop plus a further 10 from this weeks drop. we also tend to pic up 3-5 a week on the job. so we may be breaking some of our records next week. I also plan to do 20,000 next sunday!

bring on the first cleans! im up for it. hard work never killed anyone. I just want the money!

Hi,

20 customers from 10,000 is 0.2%, so from 27,000 leaflets at the same success rate is 54 more new customers.

74 new monthly customers at say £15 an average clean = £1,110 of new custom a month, and I'm pretty sure Lee's average customer spend is more than that. Plus all the extra one-off cleans like gutters and fascias.

And as Lee says new customers will still be ringing from all the leaflet drops for at least a couple of weeks or more.

Cheers,

Huw

that % is very low which could mean the leaflet needs looking at to convert better, but as Lee said hes after the money so as long as it is not costing him then what ever he gets is extra monthly money which I would see as a result.

My very first drop last year was 5k in April 2011, two customers phoned last week from that drop !!!!!!!
I know because I have used an old phone nr. and only had my first 5K leaflets printed with that nr.

some of you just dont get it do you?

people call in for months. Actually 20 in week one is very good! I expect 40-50 from that drop alone over the next few months. 0.4% or above I would consider good at our prices. Im not interested in customer numbers or being a busy fool, im interested in the money the ones we get are worth. I could halve the prices we charge and double the number of people calling, go clean all day and earn f**k all.

Huws numbers are not to far wrong. Average customer over a year on just window cleaning is worth £176.00 So this week our anual turnover increased by £3,520 on just regular window cleaning never mind the additional services those people will have. If we get 60 next week which is a fair asumption then that will add £10,560 to turnover.

So we are on for an increase in march of £20,000 a year on domestic.

So does anyone still think we are getting a poor return?

Hi,

I will report back once our 20,000 flyers have been delivered this month.

Will probably do them solus at £70 a thousand, but have had an offer of £15 a thousand shared distribution with three others which sounds very cheap.

Total costs with shared distribution would be £520 including printing. If you could still hit 0.2% and get 40 customers would mean a cost per customer of only £13 which would be pretty cheap and a no brainer.

Cheers,

Huw

I think this is excellent.   you will be getting calls from this leafleting campaign this time next year...
In my experience people call months sometimes a year after they get the leaflet.
good for you!
any negativity you get will be from jealousy ::)
