Title: Omegas on my estate
Post by: TheBoy on 18 May 2007, 10:22:11
I was helping Mrs TheBoy deliver some leaflets for her club (some girly needlecraft thing) the other day around this end of the estate. So printed off about 250 leaflets for her. And about 20 for OOF to put through doors of Omega owners ;)

Well, run out of her leaflets after 1.5hrs, didn't get rid of a single OOF one. Only 2 Omegas in the newest part of Brackley it would seem, and they are both on my drive.

Nice Monaro VXR in red around the corner though....

There's 3 on my estate, I know the one guy (member of the golf club), he's not interested as he say's he's got a man that looks after it, No. 2 & 3 are not on the internet.

Seen a few in the local area, some have approached me to enquire about the sticker i have in the rear window. A few of the drivers said they were very interested but were not on the tinternet. ::)

Perhaps if a poster of sorts was 'posted' so could be printed. And with a little bit of enterprise like TB did push through letter boxes of owners or put underneath wipers of Omegas we can get a lot more interested people on here.

What do other peeps think? :)

Sounds good to me - there are a couple of Omegas on the estate where I work. A ad to slip under the wiper blade would be ideal.

I have over the last two weeks sold a load of unwanted Omega spares on Ebay and always put a link to this place :y

We have to be careful putting leaflets under windscreen wipers - printed on inkjets, the ink will run if it gets wet.

Maybe we should have a competition to see who can design the best leaflet?  £10,000 to the winner. ;D

Seen a few in the local area, some have approached me to enquire about the sticker i have in the rear window. A few of the drivers said they were very interested but were not on the tinternet. ::)

Perhaps if a poster of sorts was 'posted' so could be printed. And with a little bit of enterprise like TB did push through letter boxes of owners or put underneath wipers of Omegas we can get a lot more interested people on here.

What do other peeps think? :)

I think its an excellent idea :y

There is a lot of Omegas in the newport area (Gwent) and I have asked the question, are there any forum members in newport with no response, there are quite a few  my area, well worth targeting for the forum membership to increase.

go on vistaprint's website, you can get 250 business cards free, paying just for postage (about £3), then put those on car windscreens

considering doin it myself, i did it a couple of years ago for a company i worked for, instead of putting company contact details, i just put the web address at the top and used all the other contact details fields to describe the company's offers

gonna test out a template on their site and post it on here for an opinion

looks good, try bullet pointing and condensing a little and it`ll do fine  :)

can ya do that on their business cards?

i know it would be easy enough to do as a leaflet

Post by: Chopsdad on 19 May 2007, 20:46:52
I think business cards are a great idea and can be less annoying than finding crap under your wipers.

When I sold my last car I made up contact details and pic on business size cards, laminated them and used to took 2 or 3 in the rubber at the base of the drivers door for passers by to take with them.

We should all get some for £3, and have a competition, include your handle on the bottom of the card and the winner gets 1000 of TB's posts :y

Only ones near me are the stretched facelifts at the funeral home at the end of the street.
