I have just tested a leaflet guaranteed to be read and will not go to the bin without been read and you will be able to check if it has achieved its goal by been in the home owners hand. What would you guy think of this leaflet. 8) 8

How are we supposed to comment without seeing it. Stick a picture up and I will give my opinion.

I have a leaflet printed 3 per A4 page on card its has all my details and services I offer, but it does not go through the letter box. It has a hole at the bottom and fits over the door handle. So the home owner has to remove it and I have watched they all read it. If it is there the next day I can say they have not read it so I get a guaranteed show in. So far it working well got 5 new customer on the week end.It does not get lost among all the other junk mail in the postbox. ITS NOT THE BULL AND THE LEAFLET THAT WORKS IS THE DELIVERY.

A lot of people get narked if post or a leaflet is not pushed all the way through the letterbox as its an advert to potential burglars that no one is in.... This is just a flag to everyone that they are away if left on the door for days at a time....if you dont believe me contact your local crime prevention officer and they will confirm it....
-
Am sure some would get upset but i think its its a very good idea to leave on the handle.

Plus you may be questioned if a house were broken into don't like the idea due to the same reasons as above putting the public at risk of being broken into is not a good idea :) :)

Its a good idea in theory but I wouldnt want to put my name to it....
-
i STARTED THIS WAY OF DROPPING LEAFLETS 3 MONTHS BACK AND HAVE NEVER HAD A COMPLAINT YET only results. Not one leaflet has stayed on the handle of the doors longer than the one day .Your areas you work in must be crime dens. South is safe. Mate
-
what an angry young man :o
-
Really good idea.....but!!!
There is a stupid law stating that, unless the leaflet is pushed all the way thro.....it's illegal.
I think it's littering or something like that. I know a fella who got done for leafleting cars, he was done for littering, and was told its the same unless the leaflet goes all the way thro the letterbox. ::)
-
The key word is YET, whats the average response rate?
-
You would have a job trying to get a leaflet through a car door anyway.I worked in the estate agency business and if the leaflet blow around it is regarded as littering.I use a elastic band to fasten the leaflet to the handle of the door there for no litter. The problem with a cars is the owners take it off and through it on the ground. I aften see news papers at the front door so I will just keep trying to sell my service till they slap me in jail. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
G B on Saturday I dropped 232 leaflets and go 5 new customers. Any way I thought I would just pass on a idea that has worked for me. But its seams to risky for most.
-
I think it sounds like a clever bit of marketing
-
Thanks. Steve, Mate. you have vision.
Is there anything more negative to add from pessimistic rest of you.
Some time when you have gold in your hands some will still dirt. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
erm, the leaflets were put on the windscreens!!
We all break the law some way or another, im just saying what ive heard. But just putting the leaflet on the car is classed as littering!!
-
If you read what I said you will see I think its a great idea in theory and looking at the numbers works well enough but there are pitfalls.... Crack on as you are but I just wanted to warn of the potential pitfalls....
-
This method of leafleting is done a lot in the states.
I have looked at it in the past but not sure it would be any better than traditional flyers.
it would be interesting to hear what kind of results you get after around 5000 have been put out, a couple of hundred is not enough to judge as we have all had good and bad areas.
I once put 100 flyers out and got 12 new customers after 24 hours. but have also put out 2000 and got diddly squat.
Keep us informed.

i think they call them door hangers in the states i looked at them here but were double dear to produce
how much do you pay a thousand

I am one of those people. I get seriously p'd off if it isn't pushed all the way through. I even retaliated once and shoved a load of torn leaflets through the letter box of a pizza establishment and left a note saying why I did it (without my address on as I'm a coward :) .
It's an open invitation to burglars and, in my defence, I did this a few weeks after being burgled. I was still pretty stressed about it.

Not negative or pessimistic. The possibility of encouraging a break-in is very real. Maybe you've never been burgled. I have and I've never forgotten how it felt even though it was 20 years ago.
-
You need help Mate.
-
You have to take social responsibility seriously, bad news travels faster and better than good news.... It only takes one bad thing to happen, but that said if you are happy then do what you are happy with but dont expect everyone to agree and slap you on the back..... Cos it seems that is what you are looking for....
-
Just about every thing we will do might offend someone but what do we do nothing.One cannot for see every event so we just do what we think works.I do not understand how a teenager can stand in Asda and swear at all and sundry and no one gets offended, but find a door hanger a problem. I will say no more, zip.

ithink it is a marvelous idea and people like you is what this forum is made for , carry on posting as your input is invaluable , the people that worry about doing something that would get them in trouble and the idiots that pick holes in ambitious and intelligent business people like yourself make me sick to the back teeth and question why i have stuck with this forum as long as i have. >:(
-
I don't have a door handle, I feel left out. :'(
-
Sheerwood: maybe it will be the best time to move out of your tent and get a house so you will not feel left out.
-
Put 'Do Not Disturb, Window Cleaner At Work' on it and watch the husband's face as he returns home from work and finds it on the handle.

I'm sensing a little hostility there Rogue Trader. ;D
On a serious note ............. people are entitled toy their opinion. Why would anyone want to do something that could possibly get them into trouble??
-
Rogue trader thanks for your support.I have put this on a few forums and am just amazed at the different responses its like a forum I Q test.This might have the numbers but that`s all.If I wanted to advertise I would want to see the active members list as most have just left and are just a name on a list. That`s why its the dark( or dead side ) side. ??? ???
-
Griffin I like your comment.

Class. If I still cleaned houses I would seriously have a crack with it ;D
-
From my point of view I am not a yes man, if I have thoughts on something then I post those thoughts. Its nothing personal but you dont seem to take constructive critism well. Its easy to say someone that posts comments against you are negative and not visionary but you dont know me and my thoughts wont change....
I have said crack on if you are happy to.....
