I always try to leaflet after a job.
5 to the left, 5 to the right, 5 across the road - or something like.

Doing it today, and I was thinking..... I cant recall getting any calls from doing this, is it worth it.

Got home, sorted van ready for tomorrow, just sat down with a cuppa and the phone rang.
"Got you leaflet, I am 2 doors away to where you was today. Whats this 3 for the price of 2 offer".
I explained it, she asked for a price, job booked in to fill a cancellation on Friday.
So 5 around does work.

and the Friday cancellation is a story as well.
3 carpets totalling 40 sq yd.
She rang Sunday to cancel. Seen some carpet on the market £4 sq metre. She says she going to add £80 to my price and get new ones "the old ones were thread bare in places, and stink", she said.
Sounds like I had a lucky escape

[derek west]

are they ordinary leaflets you use for your 5 arounds?
or specially designed neighbour nudgers?

Could someone send me a copy of a neighbour nudger? I had a cheesy one, but can`t find it anywhere.

[Joe H]

My ordinary leaflets Derek.
from DP, heavy quality, double sided.

[Mike Halliday]

I had a cock up with my leaflets this month so had to use 10,000 of my five a round cards (the sorry about the noise cards)

 they went out to areas where I hadn't been working. they still brought in lots of work and some customers told me they could here the T/M all the way to the end of the street, I've never even been there

[clinton]

Think they are the same leaflets as i had done joe

you won't get much responce from using leaflets as a 5 around.
a 5 around has to be specific not general.

for instance

results from normal leaflets are from 1 to 8 per 1000 delivered so not much chance from 15 leaflets.

a 5 around points out that you have just worked for mrs jones at number 12 acacia avenue and if your passing, ask her what she thought of my thorough and courtious service. its more personal and specific.

if you want me to send you a copy of mine for you to have a look at just email me.

Every year I have a look at the way I do things and like to impliment something new to hopefully enhance my business or may life easier I look at this as free advertising (okay I know you have to spend on the printing) I used to do 5 around but as you get busier you drop things off which is a shame.

Please my I have a copy?

Nice I like it, it has quality written all over it.

[Mike Halliday]

I think the important message that you've just cleaned a neighbours carpet is not given enough space

I would have used the full white block you have at the top to make  a grabbing headline. but this is a minor point overall its a good leaflet, did Mark do it for you?

please tell me the back is'nt empty

[Jim_77]

That's a really good nudger Derek

As Mike suggested, I wondered why it was one sided

[GWCS]

1.08 mb

not sure if it will load as a link but to big to display i think

here goes

derek

thanks Mike - will redo this and change it a bit to fit my own WC business.   

[Robert Watson]

Very good Derek.
Not mad on dark backgrounds.
Thumbs up from me.
Rab.

[derek west]

yes the backs empty. understand where your coming from but in my defence, i have one message and stuff on the back may or may not take the attention away from that message, i get work from it so i'm happy. maybe i'll try one with something on the back but at the mo it will suffice. and mike, i thought it might be better with the attention on the first line being more outstanding but it was to late by then, when these have gone i will get mark to emphasize this more, maybe if you get time you could show me what you mean and email it back to me don't ask ya don't get. lol

yes mark at dp redisigned my art work, (top man)  and the wording all though slightly changed was from cleansmart.

ive given up this season, a man u scalp is probably all we can take from this season, can't see us doing anything else.

[Fraser Thom]

yeah why not, i'm up for a laugh. not sure if the files too big though. ang on....

derek

Is it just me or can anyone else not see Dereks neighbour nudger?  Where is it? 

Fraser

[Mike Halliday]

Dereks probably removed it due to gwcs saying he was going to copy it without asking first

but luckily I saved a copy, so who would like to see it again

only joking
