My personal view is that responses will vary as we all put out diffrent style leaflets.

Some TV adverts work better than others.

Mike Halliday has posted his  main leaflet on Cleantalk and the current back page here and gets a consistence response because he is actually having delivered  vast amounts which I doubt if many of us our matching.

Have been very fortunate - 2495 leaflets personally delivered - 30 enquiries leading to 25 jobs!

Once delivered 50 - got 4 jobs within 10 days. Had a call this week from leaflet delivered 3 months ago - this will bring jobs to 26 when done in January.

Am in the middle of doing a 500 drop to get some work for Jan.

Hi Rob,

I design and print my own a4 full colour but as i have a lexmark inkjet printer it is pretty costly. I am currently speaking with Tradeprint to buy 10,000. - http://www.trade-print-warehouse.co.uk/leaflet-printing.htm.

I can also echo what Jacko has acheived in terms of response rates.
At the moment I deliver myself, target certain areas. I have a colour A4 2 sided leaflet with most of my prices listed.

I should also point out that I use an old Epson Stylus 800 printer for my leaflets (this thing just keeps going) and at this moment in time I purchase my cartridges from [www.choicestationary.com] 10 black & 10 colour for just £25.
Cost wise including paper works out at about £3 a hundred.

I admit I have not yet tried a main printers such as Tradeprint etc. Maybe sometime in the near future, give it a trial run to see if I can acheive a similar response rates, also like so many of you, I`d like to find a reliable person to deliver more for me.

I would'nt bother looking at my leaflet because its nothing special, the secret is in the delivery and where they are delivered.

It`s not a matter of not being creative, but as a newbie it is interesting to see how you experienced CC`s market your business.

Richie,

If you give Tradeprint warehouse a ring, they will send you an information pack.  This contains quite a few examples of CC leaflets.  These will give you an idea of what to put (or not) on yours.

Regards.

Just to update you on my 500 leaflet drop last week (mentioned in my above post).

I have had 3 jobs booked so far from 4 calls. But the 3 jobs are all from the same area delivered on the same evening (from a total of 150). One evening i dropped 200 but have had NO response.

I am hoping as time goes on that i will have more response.
