48hourprint.com offering 15% off on postcards....limited time only

[walker-talker]

Received this email if anyone is interested. I plan on doing some postcards next spring...guess I should have prepared. Last December I had my flyers designed and files almost ready to go, when I received an email with an offer for 20% off all flyers printed. Ended up saving me over $400. Thought somebody might be interested. I plan on doing some doorhangers this fall and next spring, guess I should get them designed in case an offer like this heads my way.

Evan, Who did you have put out all those flyers last year? Did you ever get a good turnout from them? I was watching your post you had about them in the spring.

4.5 inched by 11 inches long .That's a good price. Do they have a web address? I know those are not full color or glossy, but I think you can still make a good impact on colored paper with black ink.

I sent out 30,000 flyers in the spring via neighborhood newsletters. Picked up a few one time jobs and 3 mowing accounts. Of the 3 mowing accounts, one has cancelled and the other is about to be cancelled by me. I have picked up 5 accounts by word of mouth. I am going to push more the chem app side of the business from now on. Should I pick up some mowing accounts along the way...fine....if not...fine also. I will probably start with door hangers this fall and back it up with the same plus postcards next spring. I am also considering a quarter page ad in the yellow pages, but not for certain.

Sorry Evan, opps I mean Matt :D

I'm going to be sending out 20-30,000 in the spring also and I'm trying to decide how to do it. No one around here has neighbor hood newsletters so thats out, I used a company this spring at .04 cents a flyer and they were inserted into bags with probably 10 other flyers (from chain stores mostly so there weren't any landscapers in it), that worked out ok, out of the 5000 i sent out I gained 5 mowing accounts and 9 or 10 one time jobs (mulch, shrub trimming).

I thought about calling local boyscout groups and seeing if I donate some money to their group if they would do the passing out of the flyers. Have you ever looked into anything like that?
