ranger Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Sounds good! Glad you are doing well there mate. Did you use the same outline as you last posted or was it different?

security.agent Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Well done with the responces to the flyers. I tried the same sort of thing a few years ago and had no responce at all. Now most of our work is word of mouth so I wouldn't look at that path again anyway. I hope it continues to do well for you.

247 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 The amount you just spent on flyers would be about the same for a 1/4 size ad in your local paper, You may find that its a lot of hard work for little gain, but my advice is keep percevering, if you can make it through the first few years of trading then things really do get better.. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck This is a old thread but quite useful IMO. We did 1,500 mailshot targeted to facility managers and the like and got 2 enquiries and 1 job.

Map Security Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 My flyers were professionally printed on card offering basic key info.... On a Redrow estate in Cardiff, I did a job ,flyered other houses and over last 4months have done a further 15 houses on alarms... Now I'm getting calls for two installs on CCTV..... So it does pay off but you need to select your market.... On the other hand I did a new estate in Chepstow, about 150 houses and never got a call!!!! Suck it and see......... Personally I'm looking for less time consuming ways to promote my business ...any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how we work now, if we install an address or business we make sure we put flyers through the immediate neighbourhood, you will be surprised how well that can work We also have a call centre calling on our behalf not cheap and is not really for alarms but for cctv it worked really well, it will take 2-3 months for the work to filter through, as a cost its not cheap at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
