Are you in a high paying business or are you just a self employed low paid grunt who thinks this business provides dignity?

John I know your feelings are hurt. I keep my work to weekdays and Saturdays. Even God took a day off.
But I did service the van and porty this morning and then went online to order more chemicals. I just finished with the bookkeeping. Got to do it when you are adding customers you know. I work everywhere, yes. Oh, but you knew that. No dust, John....getting moss on your tires? Rolling tires gather no moss, John. |

Right now we use 123print, but vistaprint works well also. We have no "wow-factor" to the cards, just anything you can design online. The main purpose is to generate interest and get someone to your website where they can see more than a card can show. They might say "ok I need my couch cleaned, let me call". And yes we have to be carefull where we advertise/ give out the cards. Getting some type of permission can help.
My suggestion is to order a few cards (250)to start. Then when you have found the "right" design order 5,000 or more. I bet you can personally passout 25-50 per day just with the people you meet.

By the way DCC, what is on your card? Got a scan? And who are you getting them from, Vista Print?

You do take a chance with cards in the mall. Security or the cops for violations including littering and solicitating. If the person throws your card on the ground, your name is on it. Bad publicity then and who do they send the litter fine to? But, in an ideal world with the sun shining (like that happens here in Oregon) and where there aren't as many jerks out to make trouble for people who have a life and a honest company it sounds good. |

Yes. If your area is large enough, over 100,000 pop, it can work. Remember all these people have your card, some will throw it away, others save it for later. Place one on EVERY car in every mall you visit. Great excersise and low cost exposure. My cards are approx $ 120 per 5,000.
