Kev Red,

Are these both your companies as the Logo is the same?

http://www.prismwindowcleaning.com

http://www.reachhigherground.com/About_Us.html

are owned by the same people as the name and number are the same on both sites

[Jeff Brimble]

OK so prism and reach are same number but in USA, where I got confused was that Kev Red has a similar name over here in Uk.

I'm still having trouble sticking easter eggs to my flyers to be honest.   :

You wanna try posting them 12" pizzas through the door, dogs they love 'em

I don't know what all the worry is over this - the guy has some good ideas but they are more targetted to high value sales. The twice annual window and "eavestrough" (gutter) clean which is a North American thing is a higher perceived ticket item than my £12 a month custy.

I think the point is:- to do something!

I know many of us can "do something" so let's do it.

i remember reading  Kev that you had 47 enquiries  from an add suggested or taken from a template from wcbc... thats good isnt it surerly a bit of discresion in your opinions is owwed to the  good advice given by him .... how would you feel in his position if you had helped someone in a big way and then found that the person you helped had dissed you on a public forum... like you said in your own words you took what was free... now personally i didnt sign up for anything because i felt it wasnt the direction i was going , buitb i still think the wcbc had a good angle ...  you took it.... beneffited ..., and then dissed him....whats that about?

What's happened to your forum Kevin? Can't seem to find it these days?

With all types of advertising whether you have a basic or a fanastically setout leaflet, you will have peaks and troughs on the response of work that they generate.

For instance I have posted 100 leaflets and had over 20 calls, I then dropped another 2000 in the same area and the response was zero.

I have also canvassed an estate, on every house it was "No Thank You" I then went into a cul-de-sac with only 30 or so houses and got 12 jobs  

I have used many many diferent types of leaflets over the years and I have come to the conclusion thats its a numbers game, the more leaflets you get out in the public domain the more work you will get.

The best type of leaflet that I find work well is the one that is professionally printed, is short on words and to the point and has a picture.

The reason why is because when someone gets a leaflet though their door, their first reaction is to give it a quick look then screw it up and bin it, but if you have a picture of your services this will draw their attention to your leaflet for them to read it, the message you want to impart should be short and too the point, no one wants to be reading a book when a few words can say the same message and make sure your leaflet is printed professionally because this says a lot about your company.

But if you want to really increase your customer base then the only way to do this is, you need to promote your business at every opportunity, door knock and leaflet all the time, get your excisting customers to reccommend you to their neighbours, friends and family.

But remember one thing, to build a really sucessfull business, takes time, so don't let it stress you out.

The sad thing about that is you also wiped my earnest contributions to your forum, pity you couldnt have given us notice of your intent so that I could have copied and pasted them somewhere safe.
