I just started a service business and I am trying to figure out how to market it to get as many customers as possible.
I just came home from passing out flyers I had made for my business. They look great and I thought this would be a great way to get the word out there about my new business. So I drove around apartment complexes placing the flyers on peoples windshields ( Under their wipers). Then to my surprise at around 10:30 at night I got a phone call from a blocked number. I thought " Great, a new customer already! How nice!" So then a few moments later a voice-mail was left by the caller ( Who sounded like a old lady) Saying " Who do you think you are putting papers all over peoples cars. This apartment is private property and I took the paper that was placed on my car for finger printing " LOL like really !
I do not know if anybody has tried this type of marketing and had a difference response but I am quite shocked that someone would respond that way. So I am now wondering if I should go out tomorrow and put the other 250 flyers I printed around town.
I also do not know if I should place these flyers on cars or put them on peoples storm doors of there home. I am really hoping for a more positive response tomorrow from people ! lol
What is the best place to put these things in your opinion ?
Also, has anyone had a bad response like this, or is this response pretty uncommon ?
