Chris

I dont know your post code, I just looked up Leicester & the average house prices in postcodes LE2 LE3 & LE4 are :

Detached £249,000, Semi £140,000 & Terraced £115,000.

So there are plenty of houses not a million miles away that have a good dispossable income.

Im assuming that you are a newbie, there is a big market out there you have just got to find your neich.

Ian i usually don't have a problem parking, and I do all houses in beverley, even the terraced & small council estate.

a small terrrace in beverley cost the same as a 3 bed semi in Hull ( 8miles away)

that 'up my street' is a load of crap according to that all beverley residents watch rugby and play bingo  ::) ::)

Delivered £3000 leaflets September/October. Have had £1100 of work directly from these leaflets without the referred work from these jobs. Is that a good return or not?

chris are you saying you spent £3000 on leafet delivery or had 3000 leaflets delivered?

£1100 of 3000 lealfets is a good return, how much did they cost to put out?

would you put £3k on a horse to get £1.1k back?

I know it's not like for like because these clients could be for ever £1.1k for the next 10 years becomes £11K but it would be long odds.

so £30 worth of leaflets  made £1100, sounds like a good return to me! as long as you had nothing better to do.

so if you could put out 3000 leaflets a week you'd be making over a grand, no need to bother with the yellow Pages :D

Why not pay someone £120 per week to put out 3K leaflets and then you could £1100 back and look at other ways of expanding your empire.

That is an excellent return,do you plan on putting out to other homes in your area or to repeat  the exercise in the areas where you are getting a good response from.

Chris,

How many actual responses did you get from the 3000 you delivered?  And from how many individual customers did that £1100 of work derive?

Regards.

On a smaller scale I recently (this week) delivered just 250 leaflets which resulted in £200 worth of jobs. Would not have time personally to deliver as many as 3000 though due to other commercial contracts, congratulations Chris, good return.
I agree with Shaun, better off paying someone else to deliver this amount, allowing more time for jobs, at the moment I am on the lookout for someone myself.

On a recent post I suggested exactly the same on leaflet delivery. Get all your friends children and family to help get the business of the ground by doing mass delivery drops for a month 12000 plus then invest half your return in paying people to carry on with process.

Chris as a matter of interest did you have an offer on your leaflet  as I need an extra grand fast to pay for a new head

No offers on my leaflet. Lots of colours. A photo of me with my van. And the usual 'FREE', GUARANTEED', '24/7 AVAILABILITY', 'FREE DEMO', 'BEST CLEAN ANYWHERE EVER'  and FREEPHONE NUMBER.

With the 'Free Demo' I offer to clean an area of carpet/upholstery if they are unsure if it will clean up very well. Then they can contact me at a later date if they then want to book me. Offered this for about 3-4 years now and had to do it about 5 times only.
