Has anyone used Front Door Marketing at all? I'm thinking of using them but would appreciate anyone's views on them before I dive in! http://www.frontdoormarketing.co.uk/

My advice, is dont waste your money on any of these firms that employ other people
as its just a gamble, they will have some good workers and some bad.

Find your own people, when you see someone out delivering leaflets follow them for a couple of streets and see how they work
if they have a face like a slapped ar$e and look like they hate the job, then you know there gonna chuck half of them to get home quicker.

But if you look you will find someone more than happy to do it, they walk along singing and whistling greeting everyone with a smile and wishing them a good morning. These sort of guys are happy in there work, and will be happy to do yours aswell for a few extra quid after all there happy doing it as it is and to post yours aswell is just extra money for them.

At least this way you are employing someone who will actually post them.

I've been doing what Red advises and he's right. It's amazing how many people grunt at or plain ignore you when you say hello to them. The ones who have a spring in their step and a smile are worth talking to.

I share 'leafleting war stories' with them and quiz them about how long they've been doing it. I have an oldish guy who I hope to start a small leaflet drop 2k with soon but he's so much in demand it won't be till next week.

And there's always the 'Who do you know who likes getting out and making some extra money?'
