Jeff, i am busy all the time, we work a 7 day week to be truthful I don't need to do these but I'm trying to take more control of my marketing.

At the moment I'm spending a lot on leaflet delivery I want to cut down on how much i am spending. i thought I would get my helper to put these out while I'm cleaning, so it would not cost me anything.

Great idea providing you are disciplined to post them, the trouble is I find is that you offer 3pc suite cleaned and a free carpet clean and a tenner off, where does it stop?

PS I have now read the small print ;D

I don't think you can lose, regarding the noise well during the day there are far louder noises than we can create, the bin men are louder and the guys digging up the pavement to put cables in and also the gardener cutting the lawns, great marketing bumf IMO.

Mike
Do you give the £10 discount to the original customer? because if i had took the trouble to look and research who i was going to use and then the neibours got it cheaper than me, i wouldnt be happy.
Just a thought ;)

Regards

Daryl

Some of the responses to this posting of an excellent marketing tool are amusing.

The negativety is overcome by the politeness and " concern " shown on the card and as far as the vouchers are concerned. Very few redeem vouchers.

 Daryl that's a good point but the neighbour might have got a cheaper price anyhow or even a much higher price not because of any discounts given but because their cleaning is different ( dirtier, more furniture to move, different  type of carpet etc.. etc..)

There's always a way around pricing issues it just depends on how you decide to impliment them ;D

What is it that they say " if you do nothing you can expect........."

The front I like because it draws attention to what's all this about, although I'd probably date limit the offer.
The back I'm a little unsure of because of showing a rotary when it's mentioned a noisy machine on the driveway. Either way you risk being quizzed about it.

let them quiz me about it I'll tell them its what I scrub the carpet with before using the T/M.

 but if they are quizzing me then the postcard has worked, because they must have called me to do the quizzing!!
