Since you asked, I got ahold of this girl here in town that I've been helping. She has paid for me to train her with cleaning, bidding, paper work... everything. So she has been passing out flyers for 2 weeks exactly tomorrow (although I told her to not start on a Friday but she just had to see for herself). She has passed out flyers like I said, Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday and is getting about 1 bid a day as of today.
The biggest thing about what she is doing is that she bought my flyer with the magic words which is in a sense a marketing plan. It's not just a flyer but a whole plan of flyers. And she started out with my cleaning routine which has gotten her compliments she has said.
I'm still with you on the website though..... it is needed in today's world but let me give some people a little help.... on your advertising materials do you want to lead people to your website or do you want to lead them to your phone? Your answer will probably make the difference between a bid or 2 a day vs 1 - 2 bids a week.
