Hey guys, I've been around the forums for a while, joined recently. This is my first flier (menu really) for my new detailing business. Been detailing as an enthusiast for 4-5 years now, but just recently people have been coming to me curious to see what kind of results I could get out of their cars. Everyone of them have driven off with smiles on their face, and they've been telling their friends. I'm a senior engineering student, so marketing is still a little new to me, but I feel the need to have some sort of serious looking document to appear professional. This is the first flier I've ever made, just looking for some feed back.



-It seem that i cant attach the word doc., what is the best way to display a word doc on a post? I tried to use the attachment tool, said upload failed. Pretty poor excuse for a first post. sorry :(

It's still giving me an error code (Upload of file failed.) when I try to upload it, is there a site that hosts .pdf's so I can post via URL? Perhaps some security issues are the root of this?
 
"No pictures, no matter"



That is what your prospects will be thinking. At least, subconsciously they will.



The more pictures, the better. Before and after shots are great, too. Even if all the text that is left is just your contact info, that's OK. Just make sure your prospect's know what they are looking at. Label if necessary.
 
Right right, I'm currently creating a logo, would you recommend a few larger pics or just a bunch of small ones. So should I also try to keep the technical aspects of my services to a min, those that I've sold with this have, IMO, enjoyed talking shop personally rather than taking info from the flier.
 
Alright, just a quick update, the fliers have been doing well, 4 clients out of the 15 that were given out w/no pic. However, once I put a picture on it (thanks you guys :)), I received 6 clients out of the latest 15, and more importantly 4 calls from curious people wondering about my services. I think I've sold at least 3 of those 4 calls for future services. Just thought I would so you what I changed/added. Anymore advice?

I've talked to local business owners who would give me a chance, gave them a deal on a above and beyond service, although I think that might back fire. Then when I can back with their cars I would drop off some fliers too. The people who I'm dealing with are really enthusiastic about finding someone who cares about the quality of their small business like they do, so I've already got my foot in the door. Ill come in a few times a week and spend money in their establishments and they'll introduce me to their friends or other local business people who might be interested in my services too. When you bring back a finished car to the persons business and walk in and give them the keys, people will start to ask questions about what going on, and they'll want to be introduced to this new guy who's dropping off beautiful cars. I always try to make myself available to prospective clients and let them tell me what they need, for some reason no one has wanted my packages yet. Above all, it really does pay to know the right people who know the right people, if you know what I mean.
