Folks my opinions are quite biased as someone who sells mostly full colour printed productsā¦ Although, I do not sell pizza menus or pizza door hangersā¦
If you are in a market where your āhomemadeā flyers are better than the next guys āhomemadeā flyers they likely will work okayā¦However, if you are in a market where your competitors are agressive in their marketing and use professional full colour printing your āhomemadeā flyers will get lostā¦
What is more important than the cost per door hanger is the cost per responseā¦If colour costs double but you get three times the responses then colour ends up being a better investmentā¦
As with any marketing you need to test and document the resultsā¦If your door hanger has a coupon, split the run between a āhomemadeā door hanger and a professionally printed one and see which one costs less per responseā¦Then you will know for sureā¦
I have some clients that do okay with 2 colour flyers and a magnet, others that only use full colour flyers and still others that use magnetic memoboardsā¦All have come up with something that gives them what they think is the best bang for their buck in their marketsā¦
