No

Have you worked out your castings

Response rate.

At £15 per thousand  delivery if its distributed it will be thrown starlight in the recycle bin with all the others that are dropped with it.

You need Solus for this quality leaflet.

To do it yourself it is going to take a Month.

Lets presume you earn 50k as you sell and service Kirby equipment

So distribution would cost you  £4250

Employ someone to do it   who you could trust £ 800 to £1000


But you could cut costs or Cross subsidy by promoting your Kirby Sales and repairs

I have leaflets of this quality but hand them out to Customers  in person, if they show interest.

I dont want to scare you but I have just had 20k leaflets from DP which I am very pleased with, look great. I have had ONE CALL! Luckily I am busy anyway, but my point is dont just expect to be flooded with calls. This has happened to me once before, there seems to be no reason for it, just happens sometimes. I do wonder if all the bad media coverage leaflets have had lately is something to do with it.

Regards

Justin

Why not put a nice half pager in Parish magazines in upmarket areas near you.

I found them very good for tareting people who will pay for a quality service. AND I seem to get more referrals later.

You will get a steady trickle for 12 months and beyond.

I like Ian's idea of putting the Kirby stuff on there or maybe you could do a cross promotion with a high end, respected carpet/furnishings company in your area. You split the cost and buy in to their reputation.

I think i will have to look at something differant as i have just spoke to the supplier and the last batch i had was on a 50% offer and was 170gsm silk.

So this time they will be not as good and more expensive!

Shame i really liked them :'(

Thanks for everyones advise

Chris

I am more than happy with the quality of the printcarrier flyers, and if you send them the artwork your other printer has designed for you they will be exactly the same.

Lionhart, i used to use 1click but printcarrier are about £60 cheaper for 10,000 and are also better quality

Red
Thinking of using them myself as they have some good deals on at the moment.
Only problem is how to send it to them as I usually use microsoft word or publisher, but they state  it needs to be sent by pdf and other wierd software.How do you send yours.
