don,t waste your time with leaflets , your much better knocking , i got 4000 delivered and got 4 jobs so far regards alan

If leaflets are a waste of time why drop 4000?

because i foolishly listened to others on here who said how good they are , i was going to drop 10,000 but having got such a poor response i stopped , my canvasser has brought in over 150 new custies recently so i know what works best and its clearly knocking , better get off my backside now and get out in the rain lol

i had 5000 leaflets printed up for £40.00 inc delivery. i have probably delivered in the region of 1000 so far, avg about 200 a day by area.

my leaflet says to put it somewhere in your front window and ill be round within the next 3 days to give you a quote. the response has been extremely good. ive had a couple of people coming out their houses catching up with me to come and quote them! which is a good feeling. ive taken on 15 people so far just by driving back round after a couple of days. and its instant, i pop back, give them the price and i say, 'shall i start today, then your on the rota for next month etc' bingo, works a treat.

i think giving them the option to place the leaflet in the window works well for the client as its less intrusive for them to have a stranger knocking on the door but also, gives them a kick up the bum to act upon the leaflet. id be f***ed if i were to deliver 5000 leaflets and wait 4 month - 4 years for a call back!

but hey, what do i know....?

I have posted this already but will post it again:

it could be that your leaflet put people off for some reason

i popped in my local cpu store today to pick up some ink cartridges for printing leaflets, and got chatting to the guy who ran it, he said i could leave a load of flyers on his desk as alot of businesses went in and out, anyway i dropped them in and he started dissecting my leaflet trying to tell me it should all be left justified, logo bigger, this smaller, that brighter etc!! Couldnt believe it, i did actually have a tinkle when i got back doing some of the stuff but mine looked better!

WHEN DOOR KNOCKING, I GET THE IMPRESSION..OOPS..i get the impression that they think i am desperate... they say things like, "as long as you are cheap i may give you a try"...... and like someone said... they tend not to last long as they were never bothered before , so its of little interest to them to have them cleaned, and tend to give you the runaround with money.... as i am very low on their agenda.

with leaflets.... they ring because they really WANT a window cleaner and rarely argue over the price.

everyone has a different story regarding this.... this is only my experience. ;)
Spot on.

You can get better prices when they ask you.
You can't go offering it then expect a fortune.
