i would just like to say ,after hearing about a lot of people not getting a very good responce from leaflets, i must say i get the total opposite, i have only ever
 delivered leaflets never door knocked. i gets about 15 quotes out of every 100 leaflets, i am probably getting more now because recently i started using thicker grade paper now, since using that i've gained a few more per 100 leaflets.
so i reckon never dismis leaflet for advertising because they are great for me anyway.
and always re-leaflet every month at houses you never got work from, me i hate door knocking i get to embarrased, so i think i will stick to my methord,it works for me.

it works for me too
i picked up a church today from just dropping off a leaflet

[simon knight]

Went to a custies house today. Knocked on the door for him to open side gate and noticed a leaflet half in the letterbox. I pull it out and have a quick look. It's a glossy from some "local" company offering "the best window cleaning service in the area...call now for a no obligation quote". Here no name or address just a mobile number :

As I stuffed it into my jeans pocket  I couldn't help but wonder if they're so good how come in 23 years in the same area I've never heard of them?

15% return on leaflets alone , i,ve heard some rubbish on this site but that takes the biscuit regards alan

[Sapphire Window Cleaning]

Some areas you can get 15% return!
and some areas a 0% return.
I usually get about 0.5%- 1.5% return.

Aloan ?  do you mean alone

i had a better return than that in a outlying area of plymouth 

[pingu]

I also have found that 0.5% to be a reasonable customer gain from leaflets..of course I have got a higher rate on the odd 'sweet spot'....but in general 0.5% seems to be the norm for me...wish it was higher...

Obviously as soon as you re-leaflets houses the % figure has to be re-evaluated.

Cheers
Dave.

why do you think its rubbish  ?
 you may not of got that much of an percentage with your flyers. it does not mean nobody else can get the responce.
i'm not a liar, and why would i lie about it, it would be pretty sad wont it, you dont even know me.

[paul beckett]

are thay glosy ones ,

no there not glossy, just coloured and 160g/m2 with no coloured writing just plain black. i get two flyers from one a4 sheet.

15%? In your dreams.  0.5% is about average in my experience.

15% on a good lucky day door-knocking in the right street can be achieved...but 15% from fliers...dream on!

i think he got 15% , but he forgot to tell us that he does it for free as a hobby regards alan

[NWH]

I dropped 1 leaflet a month ago just on the off chance and got £1500 a year out of it lol,the ones that always look like they`ve got a WC havn`t all the time.

Blimey people, the poor bugger comes on and tells us he gets a 15% success rate and gets slated for it; why's that

It does seem that whenever someone comes on here and says that they're doing particularly well someone will come back with negative comments; why's that

Maybe he's being honest, after all it's a bit sad coming on and telling porkies just to impress a load of window cleaners he's never met before isn't it :

Instead of just dismissing seemingly successful people straight off maybe we should find out what their secret is; we'd all be a little more wealthy then wouldn't we

WELL SAID

nonsense needs to be exposed and dismissed , if a new starter read a foolish claim like this 15% nonsense he would,nt be prepared for the hard graft involved in building a round regards alan
