Leaflets, keep them simple.
« on: August 30, 2013, 08:42:55 pm »
All leaflets that i see when i canvass from what other cleaners post when customer shows me all go into detail about wfp and pure water etc...just a silly thought but surely plain and simple saying do you need a regular 4 weekly window cleaner would make them feel at ease to call you over a load of blaa blaa blaa they dont know a thing about that confuses them and puts them off.
These leaflets tonight said using the latest in water fed pole technology in bold! I mean as if a potential customer understands or cares, it puts potential customers off phoning trust me because they tell me when i ask them why they didnt call the leaflet. 3 times it happened tonight on a recently leafleted area i was canvassing...
so tip to the leafletters who get small return it may be worth approaching with a more simple approach. Thats from customers views not mine, after all they know what they want.

Anyway all you leafletters keep leafletting as its making it a lot easier for me to pick up the work.
Please hit blackheath/greenwich with a few 1000 leaflet drops wasting £65 odd of your own money each drop to get none or next to no return on them so i can later go and clear up via canvassing for free..

Heres an interesting fact for you Mick...

I look forward to your email... :-)

For window cleaning i think you will find its much lower than 3% return from leaflets.
Pureaqua@hotmail.co.uk if you could send me the details so i can give it a crack.

If you want to give up your evenings canvassing that is up to you. I pay someone who leaflets 10-15 hours a week for me and that works for me.

You with your constant posts about how great you are at canvassing reminds me of schoolboys boasting about all the sex they have.  ::)roll

I dont big myself up at being good at canvassing on here at all even though if im honest i am mustard at it  8). I like giving good advice regarding customer building and different ways i do it with good return and I get many thanks from people from giving them motivation and help and advice regarding canvassing and round building too apart from the leaflet crew like yourself :D
Anyway this thread was from customers views regarding over the top looking leaflets!.

I have had a few drinks tonight and was just about to have ago but after reading my leaflets realised it's not my latest leaflet design  :D :D

I get a great response from leaflets and my website which is pushed up the ranks by customers looking at my site from the details on my leaflet.

To be honest your leaflets are good paul, if i was to do leaflets id have them similar to yours, i was doing charlton tonight from a few sold boards i had to go knock on and from them saying they got a leaflet through i decided to do the whole road.

Just over 2k in 2months doing 2 sessions a week 6-8pm with 2/3 of us canvassing my stepdads round up.
I know i have come across smug on this post but its intentional fun seeing all the leafletters get on there high horse!
i know leafletting and canvassing both work its just canvassing is so much faster and work is so much more compact which is why i choose to door knock over leafleting.
