If you can target your area maybe. Quality of leaflet would be very
influential. B&W A5 inkjet on 80gsm paper with poor english, layout,
graphics, etc would go in the bin. Smaller A6? (to pin on notice board or
stick in edge of mirror) on 100gsm paper or light card, still B&W but
laser or litho printed, nice graphics and correct english stands a much
better chance of being kept.

I doubt if most people can tell the difference between inkjet and laser
nowadays, unless you get it wet maybe.

You could help the targeting by doing the drop yourself, this is still
"working" all be it unpaid. Provided your are presentable (corporate
clothing indicates that you probably are) knocking on doors just to show
your presentable friendly face ask if they have any little jobs and leave
a leaflet but be quick on the door step.

The "corporate clothing" would put me off, it would indicate to me a
business like double glazing with lots of salesmen.



Check circulation area, might be to large.

.... to large or not to large, that is the question.
