    Sorry, cannot help you. This business plan depends on word of mouth. Rural scrapper dealing with larger quantities and farm restoration. If you use this service, please tell us how it works out for you.

    As far as the flyers go, a few here have used the Post Office to distribute the flyers, postcards. Make your own up and have them printed up at a Staples or the like.

    I've used a service years ago in my painting business. Was not impressed. Shady at best is how I'd describe the company I did business with. You'd do better hand delivery in my opinion is the best. Jump at any chance to introduce yourself and talk briefly about what you do. One or two in same neighborhood can spread the word. Keep your truck clean and signage if you can afford it. Don't forget biz cards. Hand them things out. Lots stores have courtesy display for customers.

    Post office had a service called "every day door mail" It was something bigger than post card size, almost like a flyer. You picked what postal route and if it was business or residential addresses. prices were less than post card rates. Don't know if they still have. may look it to it now.
