Weekly Sales Tips - published since 1999

Last week my aunt Ginny found a marketing flyer on her front doorstep.

She was so impressed with the wording on the flyer, that she called and read it to me.

It was from George Hill, a local handyman, plumber, electrician, painter; you name it and he said he can do it.

This flyer uses a really unique approach and was such an attention-getter that I wanted to share it with you.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH

Have you ever read a flyer that made you smile?  This one did just that.

And it got results. George acquired a new customer with his flyer.

I needed some work done on my deck, so I called George. He came to my house, gave me an estimate and I hired him.

I'll bet you have never read anything like the wording on this flyer.


GEORGE HILL's marketing flyer

I enjoy working around the house

Building a shelf or catching that mouse

I can fix a leak or clean your garage

And by the way of introduction,

My name is George.

Electrical, painting, any chore at all

I will provide estimates and references . . .

Just give me a call.

You will be happy with my reasonable rates

So for all seasons, get your house and garden in shape.

Then:

(inside a box)

FREE ESTIMATES

20 Years Experience

Licensed & Insured

His name and cell phone number

Then a list of his services: painting, licensed plumber, roofing, yard work, etc.

and

    "Present this flyer for an easy 10% off"


THE A I D A FORMULA


Have you ever thought of writing a poem about your product or services?  It is a great way to create attention and interest.


Before writing any type of sales letter or marketing flyer, use the tried and true copywriting formula, AIDA:

A - Attract the reader’s attention

I - Arouse the reader’s Interest in the offer.

D - Stimulate the reader’s Desire to take the desired action.

A - Ask the reader to take the action requested.


This is from my e-book Triple Your Sales with Direct Mail Marketing - FREE with this month's special offer.
