Leafleting in the snow
« on: March 22, 2013, 08:39:09 am »
Anyone done this before? Because I dont fancy trying to clean in this, i don't really fancy leafleting either but needs must  :'( . Did you get good or bad returns?

I have leafleted in rain and snow and i don't find it makes much difference if they need a cleaner they will call.

The customers you get from leafleting in the snow and rain can turn out to be the best customers you can get  ;) ;)

It's always nice to canvass during good weather, but not always possible. Go for it mate. I'm out canvassing shops in a bit. If you don't ask, you don't get  ;)
No still don't understand, I must be thick

Paul- cheers for the moral support mate, I think I'm going to need it  ;D

Ian- tbh mate I seen you write that you were going out leafleting before an that's what gave me the idea. How many do you reckon you will be able to drop per hour in this weather?

Chris- good idea mate. Do you literally just walk in shops and ask if they want a quote?

Cheers lads

Weather like this prob 150 to be realistic so will open a new box of a thousand and take half out and just keep plugging away till all gone.

Want to build a round in a nice village near me of Higher Kinnerton where got nowt at moment but falls within my normal radius.

Also got pressure washing / conny cleaning etc on my leaflet so may get a few hits from it .... only got 19000 left to get thru  ;D

I know what your saying mate but in my eyes you have got to work smarter not harder.....it's all good going out leafleting but I need to know if ill get a return on the time I put in in the freezing cold! Hence asking people if they have done it before and if its was worth it. I wouldn't mind getting 3 custies 2day, that would be worth it i reckon. What you going to do today daz? You can come over and give me a hand dropping leaflets if your bored mate  ;) ;D ;) ;D

Yeah, I look at the shop front, work out how much I would charge, write it on the back of a buisness card of mine and walk in. Introduce myself and offer the card while asking if they'd like to be one of our custies. Numbers game. Same as knocking doors really.
The custies I get from this are "tick over" income when things are bad like now. It's nearly all 7 and 14 day jobs that keep a couple of hundred a month coming in. I've got a couple of shops that are monthly, but the rest are 7/14 days.

not yet as only got the new leaflets last week and only dropped about 400 ish so far.

got 1 pressure washer job yesterday by telling a customer about it and wrote a "discounted" quote for a few others that were near by but not home.

along lines of "were in area next week pressure washing a neighbour - we can do yours for £xxx whilst in area and a further 25% off if they let us video it for youtube"

Thats a good idea mate. Do you ask to speak to the manager or just hand it to a staff mamber? And do you get many jobs you quote for? Cheers
