Four to five on Average, sometime six.

If you're AVERAGING 10k/week in profit, or even just sales, what kind of advertising are you doing? I could really use some advice.

10k a week is being done,sales Exceed that. I use the internet,two billboards and flyers. The best advertisement is word of mouth. One job should produce at least two to three others and so on. I like to call those as being on a roll. Just being in Business for awhile. (Repeat customers)

 

[BuckmasterStumpGrinding]

How much are the billboards and how much business do they bring in? How do the billboards compare to the fliers? Around here fliers cost quite a bit and don't bring in that much work.

I pay 600 a month for the two but I also have the contract for clearing them. Have you tried a print shop? I get like 1000 go like $70.00.

The fliers are cheap. Its the postage that adds up.

Have your wife put them out you can choose the area better. My wife can put about 1,000 in about an hour in a good area. Put them in the newspaper box on their mailbox.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Is that legal?

Another thing is to never meet a stranger, next thing you know their mom has something or a friend. The worst thing they can say is get from me.

In the newspaper box but not on the mailbox. The post master will call and try to sell you direct mailer. Which sucks. Been there done that.

I don't know where your located, but most people down here are receptive to people that work hard.

It looks like you are doing good in business. Just wanted to say that it is Illegal to put anything In or on the Mailbox and on means hanging things from it or sticking your flyer in between the flag. Most people dont care but some do and it is a criminal offence even if no harm is meant. Paper box if fair game.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Tht's what I've always heard.

That is what I'm saying in previous post.

I started out door knocking. I was to poor for flyers. I got laid off at burfords tree and was doing this until I found another job or called back. Now it's like a big hungry monster that you have to keep feeding. No rest no time off. If I'm not running crews, I'm doing maintenance.
