What's on the other side?

Voila???.  To be honest I don't believe it's a strong enough catch line

There are loads of this style flyer on google images, most saying voila ot hey presto. Those in designer land obviously think it makes a good flyer template for our industry. Its not for my taste to be honest.

My best response flyer is in company colour scheme, photo of myself with selection of pro equipment on show, a before and after pic, an offer,  and a list of services. Oh and contact info

I disagree....

If the attention of a flyer is to get the prospect to at least give it a second glance those vital extra seconds, then having Voila on it might just make you study it a bit more as at first glance especially for those who do not understand it and have to try to work out what it actually says and means,by then your eyes would have glanced over the rest of the message and you have held onto it that bit longer,

"Who cleaned your carpets" asks Mrs Jones "oh that company which has Viola on the leaflet or what ever it is" says Mrs Smith, 

Create a talking point and the message might just stick......... be interesting to see what your response rate is like after you have had them distributed.

Do leaflets still work as a marketing tool, it's ages since we received or sent out a leaflet and very rarely do we get customers saying they have had carpet cleaning leaflets through the door.

If so what response do you get, in the past if we got a 0.5 percent response I was happy at that.

Hi lewis.
These leaflets are of course a template and temporary. Some of.us are good at marketing and some are good grafter.  And as you can see im not strong at marketing. These are temporary as i have only ordered 3000 so ill give it a go.
Hi hilton. Thanx for the words.of encouragement im tired of people putting other people down on this site when its here to help each other.  Thanx hilton

Thanx jonny

Jonny- I certainly didnt mean to put you down, just my thoughts on the flyer you posted. Putting out 3k flyers will get some work, different designs will attract a different type of customer.
A posh flyer in a shabby street will likely be wasted and vice versa .

Those who target up market will promote as upmarket, I am certainly not there myself just offering my opinion.

I put out less then 1000 between me and my colleague recently over a few days, with a 3 for £99 offer. I had 2 bookings first eve, a £180 job within 2days and 2 more a week later --which were eots which we covered under the offer as they were small jobs

All the best
