Advertising with leaflets

[windy]

Just got 2000 leaflets done on ebay for £25

Was gonna do a little leaflet drop and put them in shop windows.

Do any of you lads do this and if so what are the result like.

Should i post them in affluent areas or lower income areas as in my experience working class people understand plasterer wont work for £60 a day:RpS_thumbup: and pay properly. I have this opinion due to the other business i run. Its always the ones in the big houses with 3 cars on the drive trying to negotiate on price.

whats the link to e bay mate. With 2000 drop you may get 4 jobs of them them 4 tell 4 more and so you build up a custormer referals.
dont sell yourself short on the price.

hmmm really windy you found targetting those areas was better?

I have to say I was/am a snob I dont go to certain post codes cos they frankly waste my time.... I always been able to win the big contracts and the big houses.... the small houses I rarely do.

but this is going back 2 years now as thats the last time I really worked

a good way of getting work is to go on your local councils planning website and you can view planning applications that have had planning passed it gives you the plans of what there having done extensoin new build ect and there address send them a comp slip ive won loads of jobs this way and you can pick and choose the size of job you want to go for example below

How about having a word with a few letting agents/estate agents. If you get in the door with one you are making yourself visible to a whole bunch of property owners.:RpS_thumbup:

I use to do something similiar when I was younger

I created a "moving in" card which was laminated and I use to sell the concept to a local plumber a local chip shop etc each trade would have a spot on this laminated plastic then I would get them printed and post them to at first all the houses where I saw for sale signs and the sold signs then I started delivering them to everybody nice little earner to
