How Long Does it...

[imported_Intel486]

How Long does it normally take from the time you hand out flyers to the time you start getting calls?



I just put 300 copies of my new flyer out about 4 days ago and haven't gotten any calls from them yet. 0% so far... hmmm that is worse than my old flyer where I got about a 1% return.



Still have a lot of them left so I'll have to try to get more out when I find time.

Intel, one thing you might want to do is find someone maybe a high school kid and have him pass out the flyers and give him a few bucks for each detail you get from his work, remember that word of mouth is the best way to get work, so new clients lead down new avenues of work. You can put his flyers on a different color paper to differentiate yours and his. Just a suggestion.

don't feel bad I have about 600 out in the last two weeks and I have no phone calls , it usually takes a person two - three times of seeing an add to respond to it. The more flyers we put out the lower the response percentage will be , it's just the nature of the beast. Good luck Intel

I got a call on one that I had put out about 6 years before! I put them out in that neighborhood in 1995 and got a call in 2001 on one of them. The lady had put it in a drawer and forgot about it. She seemed suprised the number still worked after that much time.



I've gotten calls the same day also. It just depends.
