Case Study – Copy writing flyer for Cleaning Business………..

Copy Writing – Flyers and Brochures

Recently I received an email from David, owner of a local small business needing help with his flyer/brochure.

He has been in business about 2 years and wants more customers.

He will be sending out flyers by letterbox drop and needed a bit of help.  I had a look at what he had, and could see that most of the information wasn’t really of interest to a prospect, and in my humble opinion the flyer was likely to end up in the recycling bin with most others.

The flyer as it was, listed the business name as a headline.

To me it didn’t really communicate to the prospect, identify their pain or problems, and describe how David could solve their problems.   I’ve detailed below the “before” and “after” of this flyer, I’d be interested to hear your comments.

I rewrote it as both a very short (and small – C6 or quarter A4) size and an A4 flyer.

David will be distributing the flyer shortly and it will be interesting to see the results……
