How successful would this be

Gymman1 · 04-01-11, 12:35 PM

Hey im new to this fourm and freebiejeebies.

Well anyway i made a leaflet what advertises my referral link and a little bit about freebiejeebies. I can get 5000 of this made for £37 how many referrals do you recon i would be able to get posting all 5000 leaflets to people houses around my town???
Thank you

5000 leaflets its a big number, u might get lucky and get some greens out of it. I have never done leaflets myself, so I can not say how it went for myself.

But I wouldnt put referral link on it . Some people might be put off when they see it and some people are funny I would not put your link in full ( they wont put your register. numbers ), so they might sign up, but u wont benefit from it.
I would suggest to make a website first and then put it on leaflets. You can more express yourself and it will look like more believeble.
thats mu opinion , lets see what others advice you.

Thank for you advice I did bump into a website a couple of days ago witch allows you to use there site as they have a box were you enter you code(numbers) and they have got an leaflet all ready set up all you got to do is rite your code into it.

manasek · 04-01-11, 01:22 PM

let us know how it went

rob110492 · 04-01-11, 01:35 PM

If you are planning to do go door-to-door with these, 5,000 will take you about 10days of solid work. Ive done leaflet dropping before, its hard work, and takes forever (This wasnt for freebies though)

Gymman1 · 04-01-11, 01:51 PM

I understand that it will take a while but even if i only get 1% green to what i handed out in leaflets so 50 greens that would be £1000 what is well worth it.

rob110492 · 04-01-11, 01:55 PM

I think you would be lucky to get 1% to sign up, let alone go green! Its such an untargeted audience.

vster2010 · 04-01-11, 01:57 PM

its gonna be taxing! the fact you have 5000 will mean you will need to go to a lot of houses. plus trying to go the houses will take a lot of time. i would suggest putting some on cars too.

Gymman1 · 04-01-11, 02:00 PM

O so i take it it is not worth the time and money then?

joannakay · 04-01-11, 02:01 PM

maybe you should try say 50 and see if you get any results from it - you could also try putting a leaflet in shops windows - you could hit a wider age range that way

Gymman1 · 04-01-11, 02:05 PM

Ah good idea what i think i might do is get 5000 printed as this is the minimum the company dose but then put some through pepole door stick them up at shop such as the post office and i was also thinking put it in front of toilet doors and stick them up on bus shelter and phone boxes etc...

ElectroGirl · 04-01-11, 04:16 PM

Best way is to get someone trustworthy to deliver about 500 of them in a few days. Pay them something tiny like a fiver or tenner. Also, go to ermm-poorer areas to post the leaflets, like council estates. I think they have a higher chance signing up than in a richer location.

alexjames · 04-01-11, 05:02 PM

If you want them to be really succesful, target a specific audience.
So for example, you might target gamers offering them free xboxs' and stand outside HMV or Game or something.

It's alot more effective than just handing them out to anyone.

sadaharu · 04-01-11, 06:02 PM

one of method i'm considering to try is to print simple posters with and on bottom will be those tiny pieces of paper, so it should just rip off when someone is interested (..people usually put phone numbers when their pet are missing) so instead of writing it down or remember it they can take my website url with them(simple and easy).

now. you are probably thinking...who will see, stop and read it when people are almost "running" or they are busy..the best would be if they actually stop and read it but the chance that they will notice it is kind of small...rather them trying to catch their attention it's better to use places where lot of people are already standing and waiting even if they are in hurry...one of such place is traffic lights on crossroads...so put your poster there and people will read it regardless what is on that poster...your poster will be seen for sure and the chances are great that they will actually rip off that little paper with your website url on it...

williamblah · 04-01-11, 06:03 PM

I have a lot of experience delivering door-to-door with leaflets. The only commericially viable areas are housing estates with doors that are relatively close together. In this environment you should be able to deliver up to 200 leaflets per hour working at a commercial pace.

A very very general rule of thumb is 1% will be interested/read it, and 1% of those people will actually go on to convert. This of course will vary, depending on how your leaflet and website look, and on the sales copy you use.

Good luck!

Yeah, but if a persons gone into Game or Gamestation then they surely must have a console. Maybe offer them a games bundle? Or some sort of accessory for gaming, I don't know xD

But generally the 'gaming crowd' will be far more receptive to "free console" offers, even though lots of them will have one or more consoles themselves. I don't know many people that have got a console without having a friend who has one, and I can think of many times where I have been into Game/Gamestation because my friend wants a game.

Also, consoles break or people want upgrades - I would imagine you would find it easier selling Elites to people with normal Xboxs than you would to sell them to random members of the public.

Hey the standing outside video game store sounds good and my website is about a free xbox 360. My only concern is that will i get done by the shop keepers or the security guard in the shoping centre?

It's possible, but they won't arrest you or anything, I'm sure.
