253776 2004-07-20 09:21:00 Does anyone deliver or know of someone who delivers circulars or phamplets to letterboxes? What is the going rate per one thousand circulars or phamplets? Stick (204)

Usually 20 glares, and a couple of serious verbal abuses if they're lucky.

253778 2004-07-20 10:22:00 My son just gave up his pamphlet run ( even though the wife and I ended up folding and helping him deliver them most times)

His run was for 220 households. He had to do it twice a week. He usually had at least 3 types of fliers to deliver - sometimes as much as 6 types. The going rate was $2.90 for 220 households, per flier type.

So, if he had 3 types of fliers to deliver it would be $8.80 a time.

Ends up at about $13.15 for 1000.

Doesn't sound much but it adds up and in the four months or so that he did it he ended up with nearly $300.00 in his bank.

It's junk mail, BUT twice he has had complaints that 'so and so' didn't get their Foodtown catalogue. As it happens it was on days that they short delivered fliers to him (200 instead of 220).

253780 2004-07-20 14:18:00 Just for your info - when I was at uni a few years ago I did some successful window cleaning work - local papers did it for me, but I tried pamphlet mailbox drops too - I manually dropped pamphlets to 600 homes and got 1 enquiry, no orders.. It didn't pay at all. Greg S (201)
253781 2004-07-20 19:39:00 Thats strange, sine I opened shop around 6 years ago I have tried all forms of media, except telly. We have found that mail drops are by far the most cost effective and most successful, think it comes down to how you word and display your flier. miknz (3731)
