Passing Out Flyers Door to Door

[Insuranceman]

I just found someone to go door to door passing out flyers for me for life ins.. Does anyone have any idea of what kind of % of return I would get ?

Too many variables.

- depends on the hook (message)
- how they find out more info (website, call, reply card . . .)
- the demographics

and most importantly

- verifying the actual number of flyers delivered

I've never done it but I'm guessing nowhere near what Matos has been getting with his survey.

My guess: Take 100% and subtract 99.5% from it. Unless you have an incredible hook line in that flyer, it is going to be tough to get much response. However, if you live in a very rural or small town, that number could increase quite a bit. I live in the city limits of Houston and flyers left on our doors don't even get a second glance on the way to trash bin.

Best of luck and please post your results.

Try small business.

Just the thought of it makes me thankful for P&C...

That guy that is doing the door to door surveys is doing really well with it.

I would do door hangers rather than flyers. Just my opinion.

Agreed. Oxford Life has door hangers priced at 4 cents each....minimum order of 100. $4 for 100 double sided color door hangers isn't too shabby.

How successful is successful?

I have never had any luck with flyers or door hangers in promoting any of my ventures in the past. I must admit that I have never tried insurance like this. But, I did try "installing deadbolts" while in college and got 3 out of over 2500 passed out. I played on the fear of someone breaking into their home, and my girlfriend at the time and I passed all 2500 out. Never tried it again for deadbolts. Went and got a real job during college as well.
