leaflets are the best way in the long run ,slow constant dripfeed  of fresh work that you can cope with ,rather than a rush of often ne"er do wells/ jumpers / has beens

Canvassing is free which is a big plus in my book but as Lee Pryor has shown leafleting can be very successful if done properly, I seem to recall he got 60 odd custies in a week which
Isn't doing too bad.
Who cares how the work comes in so long as it does?

18 new customers a week is easily achievable, a professional and dedicated canvasser should get far more.

This guy has got me 18 in a day 

Ive used several canvassers in the past but this chap tops the lot.

Thanks Shaun, your fiver is in the post

If one of us finishes before the other one they leaflet the street we are.i had 2k leaflets delivered last week.got me 6 new custys so far.
These areas will be canvassed in the next week or 2.
Leaflets do work but its not so easy as canvassing.
I shall be canvassing till the end of november.
Want 100 new custys.

A leafleting strategy would get you that. My experience is that after 10 months of between 5 & 10 (at a guess the average is probably 6 hours) hours a week leafleting I have 140 more customers at around £15 each. Obviously you would need to increase the hours paid for delivering leaflets but you will get a lot less messers.

A leaflet stratagy would be a waste of time as he wants to gain 900 customers in a year not 90 years!.

knock and if out post a leaflet

I have done really well from advertising on the front of a local ad magazine , goes out to 10000 a month .

I think its hit an area that doesnt have too much competition .

I have also used leaflets but not many.

Think in the near future im going to start some canvassing , its just getting over that initial fear! lol

There are some clearly quite intelligent people that have done well from leaflets on here (most notably lee pryor) but it amazes me how anti canvassing some people are .

I wouldnt slag anyone off for either method and i personally find Micks posts quite inspiring.

I think if you are where you want to be in terms of customers a drip feed of customers from ads,leaflets , website etc is good to keep topped up .

If you are starting up without much money - canvassing is free as you have the spare time to do it.

Just my opinion and im no expert - im a part time undercutting charlatan oxygen thief ......... apparently! lol

[robertphil]

i called you charlatan, thats a bit of a compliment from me ,as i dont think iv called anybody that in recent yrs

[robert mitchell]

Lol , I will take it as one then !

[Jack Harris]

Both work, Leaflets just take longer 

[PoleKing]

im new to enough to window cleaning and even newer to canvassing but after delivering 25,000 + flyers over 2 years and receiving a luke warm responce  i started canvassing bout 2 months ago and have picked up 25 new regular  custies in that time....... without really getting near as much canvassing done as i would like

the problem  now that i see how good canvassing results are i  dont have any motivation to deliver flyers which are very hit and miss....

thanks to all guys in here who rant and rave about and canvassing and in particular mick kent who gives great advice and encouragement on the same
 

Thank you for the big up mate!
Why not just use your leaflets for if you run out of toilet paper!! Lol sorry bad joke...
Seriously though use them when canvassing to put through the homes where nobody is in or to the customers you speak to who say no at the door as they still are getting a face with the leaflet so may in near future change there mind which must be 10 times better than just delivering them and 99% being binned which is wasting your time..
Im sure you will do well mate!! The fact that your getting customers is a win win situation.

Most evenings I stop on the way home and get myself a coffee from the village shop for the 1/2 hour drive home.
The lady behind the counter knows me.
She said if I cleaned her windows I could put a flyer in all the papers she (or whiever does it) delivers.
I thought for the sake if one house, I might as well.
Doing it soon.
Why not see what you can do with a local newsagent.
Or...catch the paperboy, bung him 10 b&h and get him to post them through with the paper.
Think out if the box...
All the best with it either way.
