Tradeprint are very cheap the but certainly not up to the standard and quality I would want my prospects to see.

I use RCS, they are quite expensive but I personally would rather pay more for a quality product. http://www.rcs.plc.uk/start.asp

Don have you had some leaflets from tradeprint? I've been getting them for years and the only problem I've had was when I did'nt proof read them corectly.

they are a good quality leaflet, Ok they arn't the best you can buy but why pay top prices for some thing that mostly goes straight in the bin ;)

Ive got the RSC cat very good high quality work.

But I think its to good for us Carpet Cleaners unless you are running a Franchise and past the cost on to you Franchisees,

Great for night club prmo tickets etc

Cant find a standard leaflet in Cat.

Full Colour printed on 100 gram or 130 gram

Price out of my leaque.

I would rather have Two Sided A3 leaflet than high gloss.

 Sticking to A5 and A4 at present

I'm just waiting for 10,000 leaflets - A5, double sided, full colour, gloss to be delivered from Tradeprint.

I must admit that some of the stuff in the sample pack made me cringe but mainly due to bad grammar and spelling mistakes.

They obviously churn out tons of cheap leaflets for hundreds of different industries. Personally, I'm not interested in putting a leaflet in someones door that feels like loo roll as it will not be read.

I think that to give the right image of quality work etc, it has to start from the very first contact - whether that be on the end of the 'phone or via a leaflet drop.

We regularly have tatty, cheap, plain black text leaflets delivered here for everthing from carpet cleaning (the £35 for a 3ps type) to estate agents looking for business. Every one ends up in the bin.

It's the first time we've used Tradeprint, I'm waiting to see what they're like.

why try and reinvent the wheel, you don't want something different, you want something that brings in the work.

in the end no matter what the leaflets says it won't make the customers carpets dirty, so the key is how many you put out to find that person who has dirty carpets.

but the leaflets needs something to grab thier attention, they will pick it up off the doorstep and walk towards the bin, in that 15 seconds it take to get to the bin your leaflets has to give them a reason not to be thrown away.

Not wishing to be rude Mike but could that not be the reason why poor quality literature ends up in there in the first place?

I hope I have not upset you, just my opinion.

Don.

I believe you said you obtain your leaflets from RSC

How much do you pay per thousand

How Many do you put out a week

What is your sales % per thouisand leaflets


We know what Mike does and have an idea what his uptake rate is.

It been consistant over the past three years and probably longer.

Don if I got a really great full colour, glossy  leaflet today on colonic irrigation :o :o no matter how proffessional it looked it would still end up in the bin.

but if today I got a nice simple leaflet on gardening even if it was a bit amauturish I'd keep it.

I think the reason most leaflets end up in the bin is because the contents don't interest the reader.

Got another sample pack today.

If this was Cleanpros I would be contacting Nick  for a prize for the Flyer of the Year Comp. As many of them are from names on the board

Its amazing how every one looks alike when cleaning

Mike,

Tour Jan Promo Leaflet but you did not win Cleanitups non exsistance prize.

In my opinion Back stood out and hit you in face, but Origional Green ink leaflet did not due to Green Ink esp in dull room such as hall.

But what do I know as it bought you a lot of business.
