So I was puttingout flyers last week and was approached by a guy in a pickup putting out flyers for handyman services.
He asked if I would put out his flyers with mine... hmmm...
I asked what he was willing to pay and he said .05 each I said OK I am walking anyway why not.
So then I get home and find several flyers at my door for everything from window cleaning to house cleaning, I started calling them and most are happy to have this done for them at this price.
Now I am going to be making $50 per thousand flyers x 6 companies, my cost in this is the price of the plastic bag and colating them. They supply the flyers.
I just got off the phone with a temp service that will supply personell to do the work at $7.75 per hour!
1 person walking 8 hours should be able to put out 1000 flyers door to door.
So 1 day of colating = $62.00
1 day of delivery = $62.00
Cost is $124
profit = $176 for 2 days and my flyers are deliverd for the cost of printing.
Now lets see if we can do 5000 each delivery....
exponential growth.
Nice...
