I've just taken advice i read a while back on here, advertising in one of those village monthly booklets with usefull phone numbers in.
it has cost me £66 for three months but it sends a copy out to every single home and business in the post code area each month!
I just havent got the time to canvass door to door etc, all i have is my flyers up on notice boards at nearby shops etc which do bring in approx 3 jobs per month, so hopefully this will do the business and i will end up with as many new customers as some of you have gained from this type of advertising!!
anybody else about to do this or already done it?
Den, £66 sounds good for 3 months advertising.
If you were to do leaflets it would cost at least £20 for 1000 copies then you have the hard work of posting them, and lets face it, posting leaflets is hard on the knuckles when you get a stiff post box flap.
More people will receive your ad with the monthly mag but i dont read my local mag and lots of other people wont, having said that- my old girl reads it and lots of other women probably will and they are the purse strings of the household. I think it will work to some extent and it is cheap enough to laugh off if it does'nt work.
It will save you time and hard work pounding the pavement and as they say "time is money"
The only thing is, you may end up with customers dotted about all over your post code area.
Good luck mate.
