Business Development Manager at The Flow Group and Mr Flyer, overseeing sales and marketing strategies.

You finally did it and committed to a bulk mailing, you've held so many weights and finishes, settled on a premium feel, it's your only chance at a first impression. Thoughtfully crafted the design, bold and on brand colours ready to hook the viewers attention at first glance. The target audience carefully curated for maximum impact and payment made.
Three weeks to be booked in and a one to two week distribution window outlined, patience has never been your strong suit, you like instantaneous and visibly measurable results, it's why spend so much time looking at your web stats and your audience metrics on your digital channels. The truth is flyers don't ping, they simmer, patiently waiting to activate their audience at the right moment, leaning into the art of timing unlike that notification you swiped away or that social post you scrolled by, paying it no head space.

You are strapped into this emotional rollercoaster now, excitement, bargaining, acceptance, denial, frustration and rinse and repeat in no particular order. It's three days since distribution began for your targeted leafleting and nobody you've spoke to has called from the leaflet, you've resigned to the mental state of "what a waste of time and money".
Two more days pass and your hear the phone ring, you answer "Hi I'm calling because I've just received your leaflet and wondered if I could get some more information..." and in that one moment, all that doubt washed away in an instant, you've been struck by that first call feeling. Excitement, achievement and pride roll over you, you did this, you made this happen.

Soon the emails, the calls, the bookings are all flooding in and you wonder why you didn't do this sooner, you have momentum now, the wind is in your sails, the calls your competitor would usually get are now yours and you are finally winning the war of visibility, and you never forget that first call feeling.
