Wow… what a great PDF about using flyers to market ANY business, online or offline.

I just downloaded it a few minutes ago, took only a very quick look at it because I have to go to work, but I wanted to write you to encourage your readers to give “the old fashioned way” a try… flyers definitely work!

I have absolutely no hesitation walking up to a total stranger on the street, at home or a business and asking…

“I was wondering, would it be ok to leave this advetising sheet with you?”

Why? Because everybody already is familiar with advetising.

Plus, I am not selling them anything… I’m just advertising… and, absolutely everybody just wants to be kind so they say, “OK”.

The question works 100% of the time.

I walk up to the private residence, knock on the door and “hand” it to the person who answers the door and ask…

“I was wondering, would it be ok to leave this advetising sheet with you?”

I walk into the small retail business, such as an auto parts store or a flower shop, walk up to the counter, ask for the owner or manager and ask…

“I was wondering, would it be ok to leave this advetising sheet with you?”

I walk into a small service business office, such as a medical office or a real estate office that has a receptionist, and ask…

“I was wondering, would it be ok to leave this advetising sheet with you?”

I love it when there are at least 3 or 4 people visible when I walk in because I know one flyer will multiply my efforts.

Depending on what I am promoting, I prefer to hand the “advertising sheet” to a living, breating, thinking human being who will say “OK” because that is the first “YES” that I am waiting for.

I especially like single family residences or apartments because usually the person has time to talk.

After I get the first “YES”, I let the flyer do the talking while I stand there silently.

As soon as the homeowner looks up, I ask another non-agressive question to get another “YES”.

And, depending on their body language and whether or not they are busy, I do only “a little bit of selling” about the product, service, opportunity, etc.

If I get the impression because of their body language that they are not responsive to “a little bit of selling” (they may be busy in the office or the children are unruly), I then say “Thank You”, turn around and walk away…

The potential prospect is happy that I did not take too much of their time and I am happy that they said “OK”, the first “YES” I always try to get for my advertising effort.

The flyer will get the next “YES” to go to my web site sales page… where the “selling” continues.

After reading your pdf, “Secret Strategies for Effective Flyer Marketing“, I am sure that I will learn even more… there are so many ways to advertise with flyers.

Alex Mendosian is a master marketer who is also keen on the idea of sending cards in the mail… the “old fasioned way” with snail mail still works.
