Spelling errors and poor wording is ok on here but for buisness its unaccetable to some people. we turned down a sign writter

See, its easily done.     

I'm not critising you Luke...honest....just pointing out how easy it is to overlook things.

I'd post them out.  I'd giggle at the leaflet if it came through my letterbox but I'd remember your business name, thats for sure.
where do you live lizzy, I will post you one of mine  ;D

Just post em anyway, the ones that don't end up straight in the bin will probably not even be noticed :)

Hi Davew

I can seewhat you mean but I think I would probably get away with that one. It is the 'you you' and the lack of a question mark I am really unhappy with.

Normally I would have picked up on it but I had been up all night the night before I checked it. My dad had a massive stroke and we though he was going to die sometime that night. I should have known to leave it until I had some sleep/was in a better frame of mind but was in a rush to get them into producion.

I wouldn't worry about the question mark at all, it looks like an attention grabbing headline. The other ones you might be able to blame the printers if anyone spots them. But it's your call unfortunately.

Personally I would bin them and get new ones printed!

Let me know how they work out.  I might do something similar if it seems a good customer getter...

The best "customer getter" is door knocking.

I have found that too, although I did leaflet the area first, then a week later went dooknocking there.  Got loads of people who said that they meant to ring but had lost the leaflet/ forgot / not had time etc.

But it will be interesting to find out the response rate to this type of leaflet drop.

Hi

Just to update those interested in how this method of attracting new customers is going, I posted about 60 of these yesterday and had 5 in windows today. That is almost 10% and the 3 days are not up yet. Just for comparision, in generally the same area I posted 300 about 3 weeks ago and got a total of two phone calls. This seems to have a much better strike rate.

Thanks to whom ever came up with it and posted it in here for me to see.

I'd have strong words with the printers. They should have spotted the error and automatically corrected it before printing off 5000.

But I'd post them anyway as I don't think too many people would spot it.

If that card came through my letter box and I needed a w/c the extra "you" wouldn't put me off.

it is the customer resonsibility to proof read any copy not the printers, if it was there fault then they would not charge you as it would be a mistake on there part.

I read it a couple of times and did not spot it the first time, so I would post them, and get more done (without the extra YOU) and post again in 4 weeks
