Post-it note/sticky note marketing

[Beverly Buella]

Hi there,

I have been targeting neighborhoods, placing post-it notes on properties and have gotten a great response.  i.e, I'll walk up and down a block of 20 houses and get 1-3 calls.  I want to expand this because I can't possibly be effective doing this  all by myself.  

In doing this myself, I figured it took me no more than 15 minutes to do 20-25 properties- so say 80-100 properties in an hour if I'm trying to source this out.  

For anyone out there is doing flyer or door-to-door marketing:

a) What do you do to ensure that your marketing is actually being placed vs. thrown in the trash?

b)  What do you pay for something like this?  I'm purely basing my numbers on an hourly rate of $10-$12 an hour, depending on how reliable/serious the applicant is.  Is this too much?  Too little?  I just think it sounds daunting to get paid $10-$12 an hour to put up 100 post-its, so to make $100 someone has to put up 1000 flyers/post-its? 

In writing this I realized that I might just scope out the people who put the flyers/circulars at doorsteps and see if I can get one of them to do it for me.  However, any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Bev
