Default Go for it - after you take care of a few things...

First, source your baggies. Got to factor in those costs.

Second, get prices for alternate means of distribution - your competition. I can get my flyers inserted into the local newspaper and hand delivered to each house/flat for $60A per thousand (about $38US).

Other "delivery" businesses in my area charge from $20A per thousand to deliver to each home/flat (about $13US).

Based on your numbers, my most expensive alternative is still cheaper by a good mile.

Your price won't even get a look from me.

Third, how is your fitness? Have you walked by 1,000 homes before? Do you know how long it will take you? How long will it take you to insert all your flyers into the little baggies?

Don gave a good challenge to overcome... making the business owners believe you will deliver the flyer as you say you will.

Do a search on Google for flyer delivery service. Send an email to a service in another state and ask them some of the questions you can't get answers to yourself.

Grab yourself a pen and paper and write down all the answers to these questions. Then, get going and do it. It won't cost you any money to start.
