Local Rag

Not being funny here, but "Cant really be arsed with flyers" attitude isn't really the attitude you need if you really need to drum up business, surely anything that gets you work in should be explored.

when i first started i did both posting flyers £130 for 2000 full colour double sided gloss leaflets and a ad in local paper £65 a week i got lots more jobs from flyers than paper.and your not up against other tilers i got around 90%of the jobs i estimated.even now when i know i have a quiet spot coming i put my ipod on and pound the streets posting leaflets

First week in the local rag, nice big add. really need the work as ive gone really quiet and guess what. they printed my number wrong. :mad2:

No phone calls this week, got a free week but its no the point. Really peed off.

Im on my period now :mad2:

Tysfoot, did they not send you a "proof" prior to going to press? They should have done! If they did and you approved a wrong number they aren't really to blame.

As for Flyers, I go out and drop business cards through letterboxes - you are a postie, you could have done it on your rounds! -I have had business from every drop that I have done.
