[Phillip Mold]

£25+Vat per 1000, delivered with other leaflets, or £60 sole, from the local people I use

[nick p]

i pay £60 for 1200 thats solus and people i employ direct been ripped of by to many companys

[Ian Gourlay]

How did you arrive at 1200 for £60

Philip

I pay by the hour and come close to your figure.

Was hoping for £30 to £40  per thousand but unless I start to use school kids on Saturdays do not think I will achieve it.

It is possible to reduce average cost by doing some leaflets yourself, but i think it is best to have a mixture some Free newspaper, some paid for Solus and some yourself.

Does the price per tousand differ where the areas differ, i can do 1000 in 6 hours in my area, 1000 in 3 hrs a few miles away..

[Ian Gourlay]

I am amazed you can do over 300 an hour for a long period of time

Its about 6 a minute that gives you 10 seconds at each house

[davep]

Sure, if they are terraced.  Take posties for an example..  3.5hr deliverys, some have rounds with 400 calls, some with 1200.  The area makes a huge difference

I use the local papers who charge £15.50 per thousand. I put out 15-17 thousand a month

[davep]

What kind of response do you get for that Phil?

[John Gregory]

Phil . 15 to 17 thounsand leaflets a month is a lot of leaflets what sort of return do you get and how many people do you employ to clean carpets

John

[nick p]

hi ian 1200 for £60 was because i used to pay £6 per hour and in 10 hours averaged 1200 so i now pay £60 for 1200

Do you send out the same leaflet month after month, or are they seasonal or topical ?

Steve

[Mike Halliday]

sorry steve I deleted my reply,

I send out the same leaflet every month to the same homes and have done for the last 9yrs so most homes in  my areas have recieved about 80 of my lealfets,

everyone knows me

I work on my own and do not get the response I would like, but I do believe that if you keep yourself in peoples minds then when they need a carpet cleaner they will call you.I do change my leaflets every few months to gauge the difference in response and once I start getting more than one job per thousand I will have found my ideal leaflet. At present I get about one job per two thousand leaflets, so they do still pay for themselves. I get a better response from the website.

Fancy swapping leaflets Phil?

All in confidence of course

I am going to try free papers seeing what 10k a month delivers. I am having some A6 cards made up but was wondering if I would get a better response with b/w A4.

Anyone tested the two side by side in papers?

[ollie]

I tried leaflets in newspaper but got only 1 job for 2 to 3 thousand!! But  like me , most people hate leaflets in newspapers. I paid a company to "deliver" 10000 for me, amount of calls ....................0     .  Now i deliver them myself with  a few helpers now and again and always get at least 3 jobs per thou. I pay £50.00 per thousand and get my people to record every st etc and when a job comes in from one of their leaflets I give them a little extra.

[Mike Osbourne]

If free papers on average work out 1 job/2000 that's £60/job so that's not too good. However it is a way of getting stuff out without spending hours trudging the streets and if you get referrals and a long term Client it's going to advantageous in the long run.

[ollie]

Am going to do some sort of leaflet drop,these above threads have given me something to think about,ie using a company or doing them by people i know..Ollie i have also bought myself a bike  It is posible to make a good living out of this buisness..

What bike did you get? I got a Varadero (big tourer) Im going touring Germany this summer!   Got to get my leaflets out to get my fuel money!!
