Its more of a doorhanger, actually. I can fit three on a sheet. The costs depend on how you want to do them. You can print them yourself, which I have done, or you can take them to OfficeDepotMaxStaples, which I have done also. Either way, it seems they come out to about $.07 per hanger. Then you have to pass them out! That is the not-so-fun part, to say the least. You just walk around, putting them on doors of lawns you want to service. It is very tedious, but after a while, you brain just becomes numb. You get into a bit of a daze, and forget what you doing sometimes. But, I have had good results with them.
PS You can always find someone to pass them out for you, depending on your budget.

besides married he went to work for wspd. Tried to get him to come work for me part time but he doesn't have time. They have a rent house in statesville and they are trying to get it straightened out after the last renter destroyed it. Plus his wife has 2 kids from previous so that keeps him busy too. That's about it.
