The management, owners, and staff of Hometown Flyers would like to welcome all of the new clients this past month.  When we continue to hear what great things are happening in your business as you continue to put your trust in us to help spread the word about you, it generates excitement in OUR office as well. That’s when you know you’re really doing something good!

We’ll be pushing out our new promos beginning this week to attract even more new clients to our growing list of success stories, but if you haven’t seen one lately, please email info@hometownflyers.com, and we’ll make sure to get one over to you personally.   Since we’ve expanded our area of service to seven cities in the area, the outpouring of responses we’re seeing is proof positive that the solution we offer small businesses is long overdue. 

In fact, we’ve been so busy, that we’ve had to put our OWN promotional projects on hold until we could make sure all of YOUR needs were met, including the redevelopment of our website!

If you need an affordable way to disseminate information about your company in any of the cities listed below, please call us at (330) 552-2274 and speak directly to one of our marketing consultants!  (That’s 330-552-CASH!)

Depending on the various promotions available at the time of service, you could have your ad pieces delivered door-to-door for as little as 10¢ each! 

STREETSBORO
HUDSON
AURORA
RAVENNA
TWINSBURG
KENT
MANTUA

Furthermore, although we are continuing to follow the zones we’ve established in the City of Streetsboro, you will have the freedom to decide not only how many flyers are distributed by us, but also when they are distributed, and where they are distributed.

For as little as 15 to 20 cents per address, you can now utilize our professional staff of dependable “Walkers” to get your message to your prospects when and where you’d like!

Does your company have a special event coming up?  Holiday promotion?  Anniversary Special?  Give us a call…we can help!

However, when we received his flyer through the front door, it somehow ended up on the floor of the entry. When I found it this morning, I thought it was one of Rachel’s school notes or to-do lists. I figured that Alex had gotten hold of it and I was rescuing it from the maw of imminent destruction. (Alex often decides that something should be thrown away or finds glee in ripping paper into small shreds).

It wasn’t Rachel’s handwriting. Maybe it was a bill (unintentional pun)? It took me a moment to realize that it was an ADVERTISEMENT. An ad for Bill’s Lawn Care & other services. Suddenly, I saw it in a whole new light and the more I looked at it, the more flabbergasted I became.

In our highly competitive world, where Master’s degrees are commonly required for entry-level jobs, I held in my hand, this ad. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a casually designed, poorly written advertisement for a service – ever. I would expect more from a Jr. High School student … which (maybe) Bill is?

Look closely. The name and address were not altered by me, the smudges are part of the original document (which is a photo-copy, btw). Are those prices, or times? Does Bill cut your lawn 15-20 weeks? Does it cost $15-20 per week or (as I suspect) $15-20 per month? It is reassuring to note that Bill will clean up our evenings! Though I admit, I was disappointed to learn that Bill does ‘Fence Repair and [sic]Biulding’. (I thought it should have been ‘Billding’  ).

Wow! What an horrid advertisement. Let’s just say that IF we were in the market for lawn service, Bill wouldn’t be our first choice. However, in the world of branding, I suppose that Bill’s ad will stick in my mind. It was awful enough that I wrote about it, posting his telephone number to the world to see! (Maybe he’ll get some new business from this exposure).

Not everyone has the opportunity to get a Master’s degree and I can appreciate that. People from all walks of life and with all ranges of educational and mental abilities contribute to society and I can appreciate that, as well. Bill might be a really happy guy, generous and likeable. Everyone has an interesting story to tell and Bill might have several. He might be a war veteran who’s fought against oppression for the greater good of democracy.

Bill might be a lot of things, but the point is, I’m never going to find out. Mostly because I wouldn’t hire Bill. Not with a flyer like that.
