cards all the way for me.....if you do car park drops, put the card between the window and the seal on the drivers door directly above the handle, 9 times out of 10 the card will be put in the car and not on the floor...Mark.

Would you say posting a card rather than a flyer is better ?

Dan, you wouldn't whack me up a a flyer would you ? I'll paypal you some beer tokens ?

pm if you can.

Thanks

I got mine done professionally local. Do a Google Search, Yell.com, and in your actual yellow pages (as they're different advertisers I think) and get them all show you some of their previous work (they usually love showing you their work) and see what each includes, get the paper weight, size, type, style aswell as the design quality etc. If you're doing a big drop and using people that post the leaflets then I found it to be ok to use cheap thinish paper providing quality of the printing was good. And like I said, I'd be very bold with the design, and offer them to visit a professional looking website and perhaps request a more formal professional brochure / leaflet. This gets them enquiring when they MAY need tiling work and not just when they're ready. Then you can either mail-bomb them periodically or call them every now and again or if when you take the call you keep a customer book handy you can write down things you say when you're "chatting" and building up a rapport but you're actually writing down what you'll be asking them when you next call (making it feel like you know them - making you feel like their tiler perhaps).

How often is it worth mail dropping the same houses in your area would you say?
Once a month? annually?
What I mean is, how long should you leave it before maildropping the same area (dont want to waste money).

I'd say every 6 months.
