Who has dropped leaflets and got customers from it? I have someone who can do it for me. He does 10,000 per week with his partner. Just wondered what the response would be.

Patchy. You'll get some, but "not a lot". Canvassing is more productive.

[Stoots]

Leafletted gets less work but generally more reliable

Canvassing gets the work faster but you'll lose half of it over the first couple of cleans.

There is no easy way really.

My mrs wants me to sell up n move upto scotland and buy the rounds.
Keep telling her theres no way and for many reasons, but even buying an established round doesnt mean you will keep all the work either and depending time frame of amending the prices, you'll probably loose more.

Just hard graft n some good luck to blow your way to get yourself established

[Stoots]

I want to move down south, but that wont happen either, too much family commitments up here.

0.5% probably.the best thing is to leaflet an area then canvass it  a few days later with your leaflet in your hand,sign writing on your vehicle,working saturdays,advertising in local parish magazines etc.website too probably although i have no experience of having a website.

up sell too if you need more work(quote new customers for f/s/g cleans,conny roofs and solar panels if you have poles long enough.)

10 years ago leaflets worked. But over the last few years it's no good due to the sudden increase in competition and the dot.com sector.

It seems like Lee Pryors get most of his clients via leaflets

Good advice there I found 0.5-1% when I leafeted.

I've had a website for a couple of years now.

Do get quite a few f/s/g and Connie clean enquiries.

Busy enough just with window cleaning.

Good luck

Leaflets are by and large a waste of time and money for both the householder and the person using them in most cases.

To get any real benefit from leaflet drops is to be  persistent and throw a lot of £ at it. Most of which is out of reach for the majority of us. You need a good £20k budget and hit a large area before any serious returns can come back to you.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lee Pryor spends 20k a time on leaflet drops

No need to ask Lee. I'll check companies house when you file. 

Very interested in your progress.

[Plankton]

How much did those big TVs cost then!

[Stoots]

I think a lot of people still look at money the wrong way. It's not something to accumulate and cling onto for dear life. I think that's what differentiates average people from those who are super successfully financially

It's a tool, use it your advantage.

Think about it, if you have 20k sitting in your bank it's doing next to nothing. Interest rates are so low it would take a lifetime to grow it. So you have 20k in the bank so what? What use is it? You aren't going to spend it you are too scared to let it go. All you will do is keep it forever at which point you will either blow it on retirement or pay for your healthcare when you have a stroke.

Invest that 20k and you could double it in a few years.

I spent 6k this year on advertising, I increased by yearly revenue by at least 10k  AND I reduced by tax bill hugely. Why give tax to the government, how daft, stck that money back in and back in and back in for a few years then pull the plug and never have to work again.

[Lee Pryor]

I spent 18k on tv this year.

When I do leaflets I buy 300k from the printer at a cost of £6k then we usually deliver 100k at a time, that usually costs £8-£10k depending on where I want them to go.

Better still knock on a few doors increase your yearly revenue and still have your 6k, spending a pound just to stop the government from getting 28p of it is like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

[Lee Pryor]

I think door knocking is by far the best method for a one man band. Mark is talking about significant and rapid growth. That can't be achieved with door knocking as there is only so much you can do and the area covered is very small.

In my opinion it requires at least 50 or more new houses a week every week for 6 months of the year  to really push forward. We aim for even more than that.

You also have to account for retention and quality which is way lower with knocking. Over the last 12 months we have retained 90% of everything we gained.

[robbo333]

I usually get about 4 custies per 1000 leaflets, but that figure can vary for a whole variety of reasons. You won’t know until you try. I would probably give 5000 a go and see how you get on.
