From all te areas we work, (4 different towns) I've got one street of about 100 houses, and never seem to get any response from leaflets, knocking, or both. In some areas, I get a fantastic reaction and pick up loads of new custies, and just this one street is baffling me.  ???

I've got complete muppets as competition, I know that sounds bad, but they are really dim witted and do a crap job too. So it's nothing to do with them being in the area too. Just don't understand it.
No still don't understand, I must be thick

hi Mike, thats really good going from a leaflet drop!!
i have just got rid of about 500 leaflets just outside the best highstreet in england , and i will be surprised if i get any response! ( i only did 500 as i got 2 huge blisters)

Hi Chris, i know what you mean there is a estate about 5 miles from me, i have leafletted each house 2 times in 2 years, every house is over the value of 800k, full of footballers, business owners, famous people etc and never got one reply!!! so i am guessing this particular street your on about is full of big houses? or new houses? if so its probly the fact they are that rich for a reason :P the fact there to tight to spend money!

They can smell you a mile off. It's not exactly what you'd call good publicity.  ;D

h2o, my sister used to live on the estate you are talking about.
I kid you not, £10 is what the guys where charging. 3 of them, trad.
There house had sliding sash windows with very small paynes.
4 sets of french doors out back.
6 bedrooms.
If you have prices on your leaflets your onto a loser around there.   I could not believe it. I quoted £25 as a 'mates rates' job.

No way !! i noticed quite alot of them were clean but i always leaflet just incase because we all know alot of ladder monkeys are poor ( NOT ALL BEFORE THIS CAUSES A DEBAIT :-*)
i would say the average price down there has to be minimum £15-20 but some of them would be pushing £30+

Twice in 2 years isn't nearly enough in my opinion. We try to leaflet areas we don't clean every 3-6 months. Areas we do clean  we try to leaflet every time we are there (depending on how busy we are at the time).

We don't use flashy fliers. Just half A4 black and white. Keep it simple (and cheap).

With over 20 years experience in leaflet dropping and other advertising sometimes it good to look at your leaflet and see if its professional enough ;D Or it could simply be the case that someone else has recently leafleted and canvassed that area
