Well Done Lee,

Nice to see someone who is driven, and knows and speaks common sense.

I agree totally, the work is out there if you want it.

I have had the best month I have ever had in past 23 years, fingers crossed I haven't spoken too soon.

the other thing that I notice is that from leaflets we get loads more extras. Everything we do is advertised in our leaflet and we get way more extras than from canvassed customers.

I find that the cost of canvassing is about the same as leafleting. the only real advantage i see with canvassing is they will be more compact and you have more control over the areas you gain customers.

Lee,

would you mind showing us the design of your leaflet as I think this has a lot to do with getting a good return on the leaflets!

thanks

I had 20,000 leaflets delivered last monday.

I have ditched my canvassers as the quality of the customer is quite poor compared to one that chooses to come to us.

i do have 30k printed each time. I give my window cleaners 150 a day each to deliver while there out on top of existing jobs.  They do about 10k a month like that.

Im hoping to step it up next year by doing 30k a month every month from march. We are also still going to do the exhibiton stand in shopping centres and garden centres around the area.

do you keep dropping through winter lee? or do you change the way you go about it through those months?

or are the results and methods the same all year round??

If I got that many new customers in a week, I would have a heart attack !

My view is that a constant feed of leaflets is more manageable. I can see why the chap at Perfect Windows would do a large drop to get someone up and running really quickly, but for me a steady 5-10 hours a week gives me a manageable number to absorb into a pretty full round.

Sorry I dont share my designs. I also believe everyones business is different and what works for me may not for someone else. Sorry.

I feel the bottom line for marketing in any business is find what works best through trial and error then simply do as much of what works as possible.

I only market from the end of March to the end of Sep. I find results drop off a lot outside of those months and also prefere to save the money in case of snow ect
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
