Well Gomo there is Robo, ofcourse we know Lee Vin at perfect windows 8-weekly and a few other's who gave us insight into how leafleting works I think the key is making sure you pay a fair price per thousand. LAst time i did a drop i paid too much per thousand this time i wont.
What sort of return do you expect from leaflets?
I've not done that many, maybe had about 20k delivered and results were pretty poor.
What you paying per 1000
Hi Gomo
So it's only about 2-3 per thousand I'm aiming for only 2 want to be realistic. In the past I'm talking 2013 lol When lee was talking about jogpost and how it all worked for him. So i gave it a go ending up losing around £350 so got about half back and thought I'll stick to canvassing which has been very successful for me it's whatever works for you end of the day .. however as the dust settled I started realising some of those customers in 2013 we still have today it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out you actually get your investment back soon enough. And then for many years since I've always been very intrigued about the leafleting posts because I realised after 6 or 7 months I was in profit but never actually got my arse in gear as the canvassing was working very well for me
Getting the second van etc why should I change things.. but I always knew if you want to get your product out there on a bigger scale it's a very good method leafleting..
Last month I decided to do it again and I kept my mouth shut got my leaflet ready it's going to be 100k over 3 months.
The cost is essential I learnt that myself so I decided to employ my own leafleters at minimum wage I learnt that from Vin at perfect windows and mike the pressure washing chap they spoke about it a few times and its defo a good route if you find someone trustworthy it can take 5h for a thousand depending on area which will work out alot less then royal mail I've worked out if I can get £70 per thousand of turnover gross of vat and if i clean myself i should.break even if it's less then itll be even on the second clean.
There is one other avenue I want to try out which is sharing with three other leaflets it's only £20 per thousand but then you can afford to get 2 per 3000 to be on the same page but you might just get 5 per 3000 which means you'll be better off financially I know these numbers are depressing gomo they are big numbers and very little return
Makes u wonder why do people not want my service on that level ! but we must look at it purely as a business financial return!
By the way has anyone one tried sharing 3x leaflets on the cheap like £20 per thousand is it a waste and should I stick to solo?
