I use Photoshop. It's not as difficult as it seems at the biginning. I read two,tree tutorials to learn the basics of the photoshop.

In my opinion designing your own flyers is the same as trying to make your own cleaning equipment, you could , but it would rarely be as good as off the shelf.
Why not invest £100 to have a qualified , professional designer with all the correct software,and hardware to make a WOW leaflet. I have and it was worth every penny.

I found designing a leaflet quite easy. In my case I knocked one up in MS word, took it to my local printer and he basically just copied it into different software and I saved myself a few quid in the process.

For a totally homemade effort mine have served me quite well and cost next to nothing.

DP Design in Hull will design your leaflet for £59 and then print and deliver 5000 double sided A5 for £87. Bargain! I use them all the time and they are superb.

I generally get a return of 4 jobs per 1000 leaflets from their design which sounds pants but is actually great. If your pricing is right, you will find this to be very profitable. ;)

do you have to pay them to design the flyers as part of the deal that they will deliver them aswell for that price ?

are you saying that you can have 5000 printed and delivered to the costumer for £87?

Thanks

They design, print AND deliver for that price?

If that's true that is a serious bargain!

Design , really should be an investment , 100   really is the least you could pay for a pro designer with all the training and kit needed to carry out a top job. I will e mail an example to anyone who is interested , unable to post on here.

Just to clarify, the delivery is to your door and not to your prospective clients.

If you pay a distributor £30 per 1000 and your leaflet goes out as one of say 7 leaflets in total, chances are it will go in the bin. If you pay a distributor £45 to £50 per 1000 or put them out yourself, you will get a much better return.

I do have offers on my leaflet. 10% off when you spend £100 and half price stain protection when you have your carpets cleaned.

Spending £59 on the design of the leaflet is money well spent.

I didn't think you meant "distributed" for that price! Now that really would be something.

Still think it is a bargain though. A box of 5000 leaflets is pretty heavy!
