G’day,
I have a question regarding leaflet drops or DL size letter box drops. Does anyone have any comments on which is better – running the same copy both size (you never know which side the prospect will see first – or running a front and back – the more you tell the more you sell.
This is for a residential pest spray.
Cheers,
James-

Hi James – This is one of the more interesting questions I’ve had run past me for a while. So congrats for that!
If I was considering putting the same copy on both sides, I’d put in on just one side and leave the other blank. Would save printing money and I find it hard to believe a significant number of people don’t flip anything in their…Read more

Hi James. Yes, test, if you can. You should always be testing, anyway. The “classic” leaflets or postcards I’ve seen biz like this (pest extermination, rug cleaning, etc) use copy that is exactly like a good ad — headline, hook, explanation of benefits/features, offer, pitch, call-to-action. And it takes up every square inch of available space –…Read more

Thanks for the advice John.
As Stan mentioned, I was able to rationalise the pros and cons. As you’ve said, it comes back to the more you tell the more you sell.
I’m definitely testing, via dedicated phone number and an offer code (bibs and braces I know).
Though, I thought I’d ask ask the question – it’s the old adage of never being able to…Read more
