Hi,

I have had an A5 , one colour leaflet (blue)made for me in the past.

one sided, and thin cheap paper..... with very very poor results regarding phone calls from them.

I have had better results from making my own, no pictures, just...

" We are currently expanding our window cleaning services to your area "....blah blah..

But now  i am thinking of having glossy double sided ones made,
window cleaning on one side, with other services , including before and after pictures on the other.

one or two people say the full gloss leaflets gives the impression of us being expensive,

others say they give a professional look,

whilst some swear by a home made basic flyer,

have you tried and tested them all?

Which works best for you.?

I know door knocking is proven but this is just looking for a little help with leaflets.

Cheers

I could only use one button on the poll.

I use homemade and also colour glossy 2 sided ones.

both as good as each other really.

There are reasons why homemade leaflets do not work also why some will get nothing from flash leaflets

Some people have no idea about marketing at all (this is a top reason why a flyer will not work how ever cheap or expensive it looks.


this junk mail you are putting though peoples doors need to be different needs to be eye and thought catching (does not have to mean colour) but does mean impact.........

Best leaflet ive had from a company similar to ours is Bens Gutters, anyone who gets one will read it

Hi Ian,

i understand the impact value, i had my van signs made with that in mind,

i also want that with my leaflets , without giving the impression that i look expensive,

in other trades , carpet cleaning, plumbing, etc... a good solid leaflet with the right impact can look very professional, and encourage people to ring... as they look "safe"

But in window cleaning its a variable attitude, as people tend to think its only window cleaning and a few pounds to clean,
so are looking for the cheapest,

although cheap looking leaflets may work for some, they did not for me...

i will be using double sided gloss this time, as i want the professional look, but i understand i need the impact factor as well.

My best leaflet is one I designed myself on Vista-Print. It generally gets me work, I think people like its presentation. It is all about impact. Currently working on a guttering one.

I wouldnt dream of putting them up on here, but if you put your email up gazza I'll send a copy of each.

I get Bens gutters through the door regular, theyre not much to be honest, they look like theyre a note hand-written stating that 'ben' is doing some of my neighbours gutters soon and would I like to have mine done? You call them and its a friggin great call centre.

I rang them up and they ask for the postcode then tell you which houses in the street theyre doing. I called them again and they told me a different load of houses

Ah!  I've had Ben's Gutters through my letter box too; I thought it looked like a pretty good flyer too.
