My job price average is a little over £11 So no 'massive' properties
Where the 5000 leaflets delivered in one massive drop? NO
Some of the comments already posted are the reason why I keep tight lipped on leaflet posts.
Tip no.1
Personalise your leaflet!
 

I agree. My business is built on leaflets. A very small bit of targeted knocking and I get much more than one per thousand.

Seriously thou 4 per thousand is hard to believe if its true then you are onto a winner look at the multiples £11 isn't that far off £15

I'm guessing you doorknocked after a small drop?
If you are talking pure leaflet cold calling you right?

Why do people think that because they delivered 5000 leaflets and only got a few customers that therefore leafleting diesn't work? If I canvassed in an area that is flooded with windies and only picked up 2 jobs, would that mean that canvassing doesn't work?

There is no easy way to say this, but some people on here are very blinkered and in some cases very thick.

4 per 1k is possible , all depends what area your in. I would say 2-3 per 1k on my patch

I am trying to get this point across=
It DOES NOT MATTER HOW MANY leaflets you post (within reason) Its
HOW

Leafleting does get you customers but it's an incredibly slow way to build a round. I built my last round with leaflets and it took about 5 years to get a decent bit of work together.
I sold that round last year and moved to a new county.
In the year since I moved I have canvassed a great round together and am now earning more money than I was after 5 years of leafleting.

No it isn't. You may have delivered 5000 at a particular time and left them sticking out of the letterbox and got £800 worth of work, but you can't be sure that if you tried exactly the same in the same place 6 months later that it would work again. It may be that the previous windy died three months before and so there was a captive market.

How many leaflets did you deliver? I am three years in and have a fantastic round.

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

I always post the leaflets right the way through!!!
I Dont deliver 5000 in the same week it may take a month.
The same area may get 5 leaflets in the space of a month.

Is anyone catching on yet?

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

TIP 2!
Leaflets should match your van and uniform! BRANDING!

[roundbuilder]

Tip 3... Canvass instead.... 
Sorry couldnt resist..

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

I have been waiting!
