Hi Martin

If you distributed the leaflets yourself and IF you count that time as no cost then that one job has paid for the leaflets and some in hand.
and you may get repeats and referals.
You on a winner.

1 in a 1000 is 0.1% so you have done 100 times better then you thought!  ;)

Consistancy is the key, 1000 leaflets delivered every week would give a greater return, Clinton 3 out of 750 is excellent what was the average spend?

Hi

Well, did the job and went the extra mile (got some candle wax out of the rug) and now off to Eastbourne on Monday to do her mothers carpet as well, she also asked for more leaflets as her friends are renting out their flat.

Sweet

only done the leaflet push once and did about 15 I think from 8k over a 2 week hit .

Leaflet and a follow up call ( by a real D/C ) will bring in 1-10 , I just know, I can feel it .
This game aint been tapped this way yet but when Im in the right position I will put the money where the mouth is .

I have had people call me 15 years or so later I know this as I used to use my mothers telephone number and got a lady call for a job from a leaflet.

Shaun, my example not as good as yours but....

Just done one today. Nine years and 11 months since I was last there but had kept my card on the fridge.

Incidentally i knew that because I looked it up on Kev's super-duper Cleaners mate software. 8)

Something else I found out today as well.....

As you know I only do YP and not leaflets. looking at my stats from Cleaners mate I see that in the 3 months to end March I obtained £2014 of new business from YP. My advert costs about £2800 for a full year.

As you may have worked out by now I am renewing my YP subscription. ;D ;D

My YP seems to be the most active source of income and enquiries at the moment ::)
