Business Return on 120 Price List Flyers ???

I always say 1%.

Where did the 120 number come from? Is that the number of houses in a specific neighborhood? This seems kind of small.

The success rate is going to depend on who your target group is and what does it say in addition to pricing, etc.

One thing for sure. The economy is in the tank. I have been mowing,detailing,painting
carpentry, handyman services and about anything that is legal and moral. Everyone is
tight with the dollar right now. The best advertising I have had luck with is Craigslist. I do get calls , but be warned. No one is worried about quality of services right now. I give a detailed estimate of the work to be performed and get underbid by people using the cheapest labor and materials and the customers jump on it.
Sigh! State of the union. Just pray for better times. Hopefully the economy will pick
up soon. Winter is going to be slow for sure. Good luck to all of us.

Oh yeah. Instantly after you place a Craigslist ad you will get several e-mails from spammers trolling the ads trying to sell you better advertising. Put your phone number in the ad and don`t even bother with the e-mails.

I have to agree with Cheapshoot I have more than I can handle with just word of mouth and referals. I offer lower end daily washes and stuff but have never done one. Everyone wants the full detail. The good thing about word of mouth you don`t get any raised eyebrows on pricing because they already know ahead of time what it cost. Maybe it is because of the area I am in doesn`t have much competition but word of mouth is a little slow to take off but once it does I wouldn`t think you`d need much else.

Instead of putting your fliers in peoples mail boxes why not dress your self neatly wear a collared shirt with your logo on it (assuming that you have logoed shirts ) and present yourself directly to the potential customer explaining who you are , what you do and a range of prices. Not only will you be educating a potential cust. but you are assured of getting your message to them. Ive done this and have gotten a much better response and booked work right then and there, takes alittle more time than dist. fliers but well worth it good luck
