You have to make sure that the pictures are very high resolution and the printer is very good or those picture will not be  clear, I'd increase their size, even if you have to lose the 'what comes out' picture & make the text smaller.

I wouldn't use the text  "even if your carpets look great at the moment it is an unfortunate and inevitable fact they will get dirty eventually".

It suggests that you should only have your carpets cleaned when they LOOK dirty. How about
 " Even if your carpets look great at the moment they still harbour unseen dirt and bugs. Using our powerful equipment we can keep your carpets looking new and make them healthy & hygienic to".

If you deserve the Red Carpet treatment call us between 9am & 9pm for a free no obligation quote.

Mike, thanks for the advice i have used pictures taken on this camera before so they should be fine again, this is a new printer im gona try this time though so i will check with him first. What do you think of the offer? ever tried it?

Gary, again thanks for the advice, this is the only line on the leaflet i wasnt sure about myself for the same reasons you mention so may change it.
However what i have tried to do with this leaflet is give potential customers reasons to call (which is what a leaflet is all about) and instead of writting it to apeal to a fellow cc with a my machine is bigger and better leaflet, or a list of all the things we do ie: vac, pre-spray ect. I designed it to appeal to customers. And no matter how much you try and educate them most get there carpets cleaned when they look dirty and they get it done so they look better.

There biggest concerns are price's and results.
After that the most common questions i get asked are
how long to dry?
any vat to pay?
Both of wich iv tried to cover

Red,
If you are printing it yourself try to cut down on the heavy use of yellow around the pics and get rid of a couple of the pictures as well,  it will cost you a fortune in ink if using an ink-jet printer.
Don't forget to proof read it as well as there are a couple of typo's in there.

I've been using A5 but am thinking of going over to A6 at 300gsm, at least they would be easier to get through letter boxes, some of them upvc doors have a double flapped box with a brush as well, try getting an A5 80gsm through there without it looking like a 3 year olds origami project gone wrong, Andy

No more dogs trying to bite your fingers as you try and push your paper type leaflet through a letter box ;D

The 300gsm flyers will take a good batering, you can bend fold spill water on ect. And they still look half decent, so in theroy they should sit around in peoples drawers or on kitchen sides a lot longer than a paper leaflet and the longer it sits there the more chance of you getting a call. Also good for putting in shop windows, and they just look better quality wich can only help to give your buisness a better image.

look better/last longer/easier to deliver

Andy, i dont think you will find a cheaper printer than the link i put up either, if you do please let me know
