Hard to know what tactics to take with this one
Yes the best or second best but then if everyone else is thinking second best who's going for the best? If that makes sense?
Or do you hope none drop before midday and then after go full speed..?
I can't decide lol. I've not even started firing yet and so far nothings dropped... phew. lol.
Edit: One pre-bid gone...

Cheers mate, had a couple of enquiries asking for a price. Anyone any ideas on what they would ask? I have no idea these days. I've given up trying to price things now
Seem to be all over the place at minute.

Its a tricky one that, because in my main game (mostly night entertainment clubs/bars etc) we called them flyers, so kinda rules out night clubs etc.
However most day to day businesses still call them leaflets and the domain can cover design, printing and distribution, its the top of its category.
I'd email all the printing and distribution places I could find, newspaper stuffers charge big so def hit some of the bigger newspapers too.
edit, missed this bit.
I'd be looking in mid-high x,xxx to one of these,
50,000 leaflets costs £500+
50,000 distributed door to door around £1500+
No idea how much it costs to stuff in a newspaper these days, but given £2,000k price tag on 1 job, it would be worth x,xxx

(didn't read skinners post!)
IMO the money is in leaflet distribution not in printing, I was previously a printer and the cheap online printing firms often charge at cost price for a year or so to cover the costs of a big printing press, and a fair amount of the online firms don't print at all but outsource to the same printers.
I had some leaflets printed for a friends company the other week, cost £60 for 5,000 copies, was over treble that to pay for the distribution.
Obviously with the printing you'd get more business, but at a less value.
I think high £x,xxx to £xx,xxx.

Well I don't play the 'Drop-game/market' but interesting to read all your inputs.
Yep indeed that is a nice capture Greywing - hope it cheered your day. I see 'Leafleting co-uk' is a "for Sale" page. but yours has the *whole market capture.
*flyers being tied to the hand-to-hand market
