Flyer (test Run)


We're about to put out these flyer's. Some through the mail and some at local shops.

This is the draft below. Before I start cranking them out of the copier I wanted to see if those with more experience than me can tell me if I'm missing anything, over doing something, or any other advise for the layout.

Thanks

"Built-in furinture" should be "Built-in furniture."

It looks great. I would suggest a different picture of the bathroom as it shows more outside than in. I like the layout.

Good point, I'll move that.

Mitch,

I might have to live with that one. While it's not the only kitchen or Bath that I've done, it's the only one that this company did and I never took photo's of other work I did for companies I've worked for.

I will look for other pic's but it's mostly siding and I'm getting out of that.

Thanks guys!

Re: Flyer (test Run)


I think most marketing people would say why not some sort of offer?? You know, a call to action like x$ off yada, yada, yada

But I can see you may not want to cheapen a piece like that. Just a thought.

Thats a good thought Vinny, thanks. I do need an offer, a call to action. The coupon thing wouldn't work to well, but I can add "Request your free one hour consultation by calling......."

Thanks, more changes to come.

Re: Flyer (test Run)


I was going to say to place your BBB logo on top but it is in a getter place now. The first draft read to visit us at BBB then the website. I would still recommend placing it on top though.

Looks Nice!

You think the contact information should be highlighted in some way or just black print for all of it?

OK, I take that back. We made the color a little darker and bumped up the font.

Keep the contact info highlighted... What's the big deal about orange? Do you really think someone will confuse it with Home Creapo?

Looks good!

No license to be had for my work in VT or NY. Insured would be good to add. I'll have to see if I can find a place for it though, the page is filling up.

Re: Flyer (test Run)


Looks great. If you have room though. Maybe something like your business address or a mention of the county or town you service just to make it have a local feeling to it.
