Trust some bright spark to come out with that one
OK. You know what I mean. £1 a year within your earning capacity.
OK. I'll put it another way.
Over the course of time, 1,000 leaflets dropped would eventually give say 10 jobs. Sometimes more, sometimes less but 10 would be a reasonable figure. Assuming those leaflets were dropped at a reasonable mix of houses, the average price might be (for the sake of easy numbers) £15.
So that's 10 jobs at £15 per clean. I clean 6 weekly (about 8 visits per year). So that's 10 jobs at £15 = £150. At 8 visits per year, that £150 x 8 = £1,200 per year. I accept there will be a wide fluctuation in the type of jobs you get and in the response rates for different areas. Also, that £1 might not come to you for a few months or even a couple of years. Leaflets can have a habit of being stuck in drawers until needed (or until someone puts their drawers in the washing machine
) .
I went out one day and dropped 400. My return on that was not so good - 1 job @ £20 and another @ £17. So that's £37 x 8 = £268 per year for the 400 leaflets. That was about 6 - 9 months ago. There may be another enquiry or two yet which could bring it up a bit. Another time those 400 delivered elsewhere might return £600 a year. There's no way of knowing.
