Received  phone calls yesterday from a Business card and leaflet I had dropped some back which is a record for me.

The Business card I dropped through the person's door a year back and they wanted thier windows cleaned as a one off, charged him a min £10.00

The leaflet I dropped last July advertsing Fascia and Conservatory Roof cleans worth £100.

Normally I get phone calls after 3 mnth but this is a record for me, goes to show this form of adverstising does work.

Whats the longest have you had for a reply when dropping your cards or leaflets.

my was 3 years. it happened last month. she rang me and said i had a flyer through the door a while ago and never got round to ringing. she asked if i could start today. i popped round and gave her a price which was £10 and she said on the flyer it says £7.00. i kindly pointed out three years ago it would have been that.

I had an enquiry about two years after the drop.  Someone just kept the leaflet in case their window cleaner let them down - which he did (wasn't surprised either when I found out how much he'd been doing it for).

wow that's gotta hurt :o    I've got a lot of flyers to post, and it does take time but i think it's worth doing yourself as you can speak to people if they happen to be outside their house, and they just might say yes if you ask them personally ;)
