Anyone Have A Flyer

[Prosperi-Tees]

When out cold calling do you guys have a flyer that you leave behind. Care to show yours to give me an idea on making one for myself? Thanks

First one on the page. I will see if I remember to attach the file when I'm on my mac.
It is a tri-fold brochure that has each panel dedicated to each thing I do.

That would be cool, I gotta get my design on

We have done the same thing.  I'll get the wife to jpg me up a copy.

Thanks, I went out cold calling yesterday and felt like an idiot just handing out a business card.

Also, I have some nice but cheap pens that I leave together with the flyer.
People will keep a pen before they would keep the flyer.

This a a proof of the original brochure I did a couple of years ago. Probably too wordy on the inside, but it showed product, had a map since my doorway was actually on the backside of the building, and I thought looked decent enough.

Myself and 4 other people (family and freinds) plastered the area with fliers one weekend. I made a new email address so I could keep track on how well the fliers were working.  The conclusion... 1 job from a comic book store 24 shirts lol. Maybe you'll have better luck but it was a complete waste of time for me. I think a commercial, radio spot or a billboard add would work out better.

We did a mailing to select business types this year to 200 places, a one page flyer directed just to that type of industry three times and followed up with a phone call. We netted one job for 80 shirts, the people said they knew about us from another job we did but did remember getting our flyer. I am thinking face to face is the way to go.

[Prosperi-Tees]

Yeah thats what I want is face to face but to be able to leave a flyer and a pen or a mug or something for them to remember you by.

The only thing that works for me to drum up business is SALE! SALE! SALE! I freakin hate that word because it translates to SCREW ME! SCREW ME! SCREW ME!  WE'RE  DESPERATE!

I have a 13'x12' billboard of a lady SCREAMING at a laptop... all the good marketing colors.  On a very busy road.

I have check boxes for how people found us on the form they all have to fill out when they leave a computer to be worked on.  Everyone of them checks off "Passing by" or a referral from another customer.

I have friends that travel that road often and they all say "Oh, you have a billboard?  I'll have to keep an eye out for it!"  It's been up for 6 months now. 

I'm hoping it at least creates some branding of my business name.

Here are the JPG files from my tri-fold

[Gilligan]

Sorry it took me so long.

The wife did the jpg's right away but I was tied up in other stuff.

Here they are... mine are tri-fold's also.  You guys will probably recognize a few of our "models"
