    Flyer advertising...no description

    I have to agree with dedwardp, the vast majority of folk would not check it out. When people receive a flyer, you have only a few moments to make an impression. The first thought that passes through the mind of most potential customers is "What's in it for me?". If that's not immediately...

    I'll be seeing her on Friday, so I'll have a word with her and if she wants to persue it further I'll PM you if that's ok?

    New Business

    Interesting. Are you looking to target businesses or private individuals? The reason I ask is a friend was recently made redundant and mentioned just the other day that she was looking to enhance her CV by studying, and Health & Safety training was mentioned...

    Just out of curiosity, what kind of training are you offering?

    Leaflet Distribution - London

    Cheap leaflet delivery is not good. Good leaflet delivery is not cheap. I can't speak for the whole of the UK, but on average in the West Midlands it can take one person approx. 6-7 hours to deliver 1000 leaflets. The minimum wage is £6.08 an hour, so for six hours work you would expect to pay...

    Help with Full Membership

    I'm considering paying to become a full member, but I must admit that the lack of a helpful response to a4labels question is making me think twice...

    Release of PayPal Funds on eBay

    I do. Sometimes a customer will only want to pay for a shared distribution with other items, but I have nothing else for that area. So, I put my leaflets for my ecommerce site out alongside theirs - that way i get paid for delivering my own leaflets :D I used to have posters that were put up in...

    What is best way of advertising ?

    I don't know about the rest of the country, but Wolverhampton council are red hot when it comes to prosecuting folk who plonk signs on traffic islands. The same goes for signs attached to street furniture (lamp posts, bollards, road signs etc.).

    Release of PayPal Funds on eBay

    In 2005 I began trading on eBay, and when I closed my account in 2009 I was a powerseller with nearly fifteen thousand feedbacks (100% positive). I would have loved to have continued using eBay, but it was becoming more and more difficult to keep up with their constant tinkering of the rules and...

    Alternatives to Spring Fair

    Got to agree with Multi-Store, I popped over to the NEC on Wednesday to try and find some inspiration for an e-commerce site I have. It was a complete waste of time. The vast majority of people manning stalls were more interested in playing on their laptops or eating their sandwiches than...

    What is best way of advertising ?

    I have a couple of hairdressers who use my company on average about 3 to 4 times a year to do leaflet drops for them. They normally include a special offer voucher valid for 3 months or so. They tend to concentrate on areas approx. 1 to 5 miles from their salons, to try and get to people who may...

    Marketing a health clinic

    Newspaper ads are not as powerful as they used to be. The younger generations tend to shy away from paying for their news, so unless you are targetting the over 50's you may not see any real returns from this medium. A well designed flyer, delivered to a 'suitable' area would probably be more...

    Carpet Cleaning

    Hi Graham. If you haven't already got a website, check out Mr Site. For a small outlay you could have a great website up and running in a matter of hours. John.

    Just another newbie...

    Hi Jenni, From what I've seen so far there seems to be a lot of good advice available here. All I need to do now is learn how to put it to good use...
