I actually live near yarm were house prices are a huge increase from anywhere else in the area!
And the company makes money because they get 4 or 5 leaflets to distribute at once, so if everyone did £10,000 leaflets then the owner would charge £1000...

His were delivered solus. Of course companies can deliver them cheaper if delivered with others, that's not like for like is it?

its not down to how many calls you get it all about the money you earn from it 1 call could earn your 2k yet ten may just earn you 100 pounds

you will have to wait 2 months and see how much cash you have made from it , to see if its been worth doing

[robert mitchell]

one person can do 100-120 leaflets per hour on mixed but fairly compact residential .

if they say they are doing more they are lying .


they can't possibly charge £20 per thousand , pay people to deliver and make a profit .

i would suggest a lot of your leaflets are dumped .

[Michael Peterson]

i agree myself i can do around 120 on mixed work, about 7 miles ish before you want to pork it off

Its a propper company that deliver your leaflets... They recently did my uncles business a leaflet drop along with around 6 other leaflets, charging £20 a thousand.
He checked up a few areas and they had all been delivered

[robert mitchell]

Your getting confused h2o

His leaflets were delivered solo he said .


If they are delivering six other leaflets along with his then they are getting £140 per thousand .

That can be profitable but £20 per thousand delivered solo will make a loss or leaflets are dumped .

[H20cleaning]

Ahhh i thought someone said that no one can charge £20 for the service but i understand now

THIS IS THE ANSWER TO ANSWER THE QUERY.
1 drive clean may well pay for the next 3k leaflets going out and in turn turn a nice hit.

lee pryor did a huge campaign last year or year before with approx 250,000 leaflets im sure after 6-9 months after delivery he had built up a solid round of approx 700 new customers after all the messers etc dropped out he also got extra adhoc work that covered the cost if im right could be wrong there

he had a very good strategy tho with house prices shown on the leaflets so didnt have to go out pricing work

it can be quite a good way of building your business plus im sure over 2 years u will keep getting enquiries them lealfets do have a habit of being popped in the kitchen drawer

I think rouge trader is pulling our leg.

If the figures are true then that leaflet drop company has totally ripped you off mate.

p.s. its very unlikely that one  of those leaflets are going to to bring in £1000 jobs, more like £10s, £20s etc. Rouge trader seems to only clean windows.

ive just done a google search distribution companies charge approx 75 quid per 1000 to deliver solus, a staff member could prob deliver these in 7 hours at £7ph thats £49, so the company is making £26 per thousand x 50, that job is worth £1300 minus usual cost fuel etc

You should look at any advertising returning around 7 - 10 times it's cost in order for it to be cost effective.  A £4.2K outlay on leafleting should therefore return £30-£40K over a 12 month period.

If he's got 15 houses so far at an average price of say £20 per house then his return is currently £3600..... there's still long way to go in order to make any profit from that campaign.

I did a leafleting campaign a couple of years ago, we were paying £40/thousand with 3 other leaflets on a 10000 print run.  It didn't return anywhere near enough to make me want to do it again. 

[richywilts]

is that the rule of thumb ian with advertising good way of looking at it before making any rash decisions
