Does door 2 door leaflet marketing work

[matt456]

have a word with your local pizza shop and get them to stick a flyer on each pizza box they send out. might cost 20 quid a week but you need one sending to a mate to make sure they actually do it!

Good idea, but I wouldn't trust the pizza dudes around here as far as I could pee against the wind.

Yea that one. The free hosting is at Free PHP and My SQL hosting without ads there is a link about half way down to get 'HOT! Free co.cc domain' - the website will be something like martysparky.000page.com but you can get the .co.cc thing to redirect, so you could have like 'goodelectric.co.cc' or whatever, which is easier to remember, but because it's a redirect, google doesnt pick it up very well, but then again it is hard to get google to pick up most free websites.

Anyway, there it is, I was talking to wattsup a lot who knows a bit about this kind of thing, and basically getting a proper website is definitely the way to go, but to be honest as you said, as a freebie it's OK. Incidentally, the other website I have there is provided by Wattsup - it is a part of his website which gets first-page google. The plan is that after my page has been on there a while it will get page 1 as well, at which point I will give him the princely sum of thirty quid. I would recommend it as I think it will work, and if it doesn't who cares! If you're interested, give him a PM - but you can't have South East Wales it's mine!

Blimey....Newport!....Well bang goes that idea I'm just round the corner.!!

I use a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator. However you may find something like Microsoft Publisher easier. Regards

photoshop, word and a pdf converter for printers

get some images in photoshop and then use the pdf converter to drop the words over the images.

one simple quick way.

then save file as jpeg and convert to pdf fpr printers

always a good idea to take all separated files to printers just in case.

Photoshop. I'm still using CS2 as it's well expensive to upgrade - if you're not really 'into' design you'd probaby be wasting your money. As eskimo said, microsoft publisher is a pretty good tool for making designs for flyers etc.

 

[martysparky]

Very true but there is always ways and means.

Go to Police station find out next neighbourhood meeting for your area. Offer to attend and do free speak on, um, er, outside PIRS. Then network all the neighbourhood watch meetings in your area. Worked fab for me, targeted the right people in the community. ended up fitting qute a few pirs but lots of other jobbies too.
