Heya Bud.
You were extremely kind not too long ago to share your success with royal mail. Its been very busy since last summer been motivated again since an injury sorting a new main van and other stuff wanting to test myself once again! 
so would like to invest a chunk of profits into leafleting with royal mail. Wanted to ask a few things tho mate. one was who would you recommended to print they'll need to knock something up to so an all in one service. what gsm would you recommend i went for 175s last time.Still have my old leaflets but wish to make them much more simple a bit like the one you showed us. Wanted to drop around 50,000 leaflets would you expect 0.02 return so around 100 initial cleans ?
Saxoprint for the printing. Flyers Inked for the design but I’ve got a new design for this year.
And do you have a general system in place for new customer cold calls unlike canvassed where you say what you're offering initially ring ins ive had all they want are their windows cleaned and some check calender's asking to come on a specific day. Do you just say You'll text them the night before to unlock the gate and they can pay later via bacs and how do you handle the ones that insist on being home and wont allow you to clean unless they're in.
Just normal. I don’t take customers with specific requirements. Text or email. Bill left or payment on the day.
Rm mentioned to me that there is a 6 week wait and ill need to deliver to a depo in kent so better get sorted if i intend on dropping around may time! Thx in advance
It’s about a 3 week lead but it takes a few weeks to set the account up.
Cheers mate I gave saxoprint quick call. They're really cheap but they don't design the leaflet you have to do it yourself. They have this app but I have no idea where to start with creating one like yours so I might have to contact a graphic designer or a smaller business who can do all in one.
I recall ages ago I did a 7500 drop and I think I got 15 or 20 cleans. Which sounds like just under a third of a percent. I was pretty happy with that so I was going to just go with a leaflet similar to your one if thats cool,since you also had decent results.
oh what GSM did you go for and what finish just standard 130 gsm or the 170 gsm?
And so if you do get an enquiry wanting you to clean the house outside the route at a particular time won't give you the gate code and I won't let you clean unless there in . Oh and they insist on an accurate quote without you seeing it just by description and photographs
I'm assuming you won't be able to service them. I know this last paragraph is a bit silly because I kind of answered it myself but when your money is exposed you kind of have to take as many jobs as possible its different to canvassing so just wanted to hear it from the horses mouth. I guess there's plenty of decent customers that call up from the leaflets so you don't need to worry too much about the odd one like that
