Hey guys I've been reading these forums for the past week or so and got a lot of great tips.
I will be starting up within the next week or so, i was just wondering if anyone could possibly
send me in the right direction for a good flier design. Also i have no real idea of pricing, do people
normally use a set price for house size or have exact pricing for window sizes/types?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gleamer  , Im new to the forum too but i can tell you what works for me ,flyers are a personal thing each area is different ,so a general flyer is tricky

as you have probs read  the best thing is doing the foot work ,if you flyer you are gonna have to chap the doors a day or two later anyway.

what I find works better than flyers are letters to the houses that aint in when you chap saying the same thing you would at the door.
then follow up a day or two later to the ones you posted

letters are cheaper to print and you dont have to worry about the final look as some flyers can look home printed and this reflects your business after all, remember to logo your letters this helps loads

all good

Ok then that could save me one job, i think I've decided ill just canvass. Any house that seems
interested ill leave them a business card with a quote on it.
See how that goes for me.
just need to get some business cards ordered now i guess
thanks again

Wagtail Slimline Blue Ribbon Flipper for cleaner work & getting into the edge of the frames, Wagtail Whirlwind for dirtier work.
