How much info to put on leaflets?

Posted by jimmy (jimmy), 1 October 2003

In the process of starting up a carpet cleaning business and now have my insurance with Lloyd McGregor with thanks to Derek Bolton and Mike Halliday. Have got a new Extracta Excel and have done an advanced carpet cleaning course. Will have to do leaflet drops now. Was wondering how much info should be put in a leaflet to make customers read it rather than bin it as there is so much junk mail comes through the door.

Many Thanks

I purchased my lealets from extracta when i purchased my machine and found them to be quite reasonable 5000 A5 leaflets for £50 but have since found a printer who does them on glossy paper for alot cheaper.They do look more professional when printed on good quality glossy paper.

Hi Jimmy,
I got some sample postcards sent through from a company called quickcard 020-8648-1714 today and they look really good quality and are colour one side and black and white on the back. For 10,000 it is £140.00 +vat which i thought was really good and they stand out a bit more than leaflets. Grin
