leaflets/flyers

[smitch6]

i only wanted to know if anyone could recommend a printer lol
i have some ideas on what i'm going to do with them
its not putting through ppl's letter boxes, i want to print up a sample mug and coater and put them with a leaflet in places like vets etc
places where ppl go with an interest

every boot sale i have been to and i used to be a market trader actually doing car boots
i used to sell new stuff i never had second hand stuff at all, i then progressed into a shop and it was the worst thing i did lol

i earnt so much more doing the car boots with a much smaller expense

5,000 leaflets printed (double sided glossy a5) for about £75!

1-2-print.co.uk do 5000 A5 double sided leaflets on 135 gsm gloss for £69, its amazing how cheap printing has become. Even if 99% of your leaflets are failures - thats 50 new customers (or if you want to go with 99.5% fail rate as above - thats still 25) Marketing isnt all web driven despite what people believe. It's better to have a combined marketing strategy with web, print and social media playing to their own strengths - (sorry marketing rant over)

One of my neighbours did a car boot before Christmas and made over £1100 profit for about six hours work. Different local authorities have different enforcement on the selling of new items, but they are very strict in this part of the country. A former girlfriend was a council enforcement officer with a neighbouring authority and they were forever targeting car boots after complaints from local shop owners.

Some of the other people you can approach are those with service engineers and tradesmen to push the corporate clothing side and the more professional image angle. Car showrooms, local sports clubs. local pubs (for team promotions), specialist interest groups such as motorcycle clubs etc. Just remember that venues like vets may want a cut of the proceeds though.

i have a Fuji Frontier 350 Mini-Lab like the ones in BOOTS/ASDA, so i print all my flyers on 6x4 or 7x5 high glossy photographic paper, if anyones interested pm me

[smitch6]

doesn't that work out expensive????
i would think they look good and good quality paper but photopaper isn't cheap

[NASH]

well no because i can run off small quantities and able to change dates and prices at a whim

[smitch6]

To answer that question you have to decide what your selling proposition is. The usual marketing mix of who will buy your items, how they will buy them, when they will buy them and why they will buy them.
