    Agree with Sir Ramic, what have you got to lose - I've done random leaflet and card drops in the past and they usually pay for themselves with bits and bobs - but have never got big jobs from them.

    Doing card drops in the road you're working in has been far more productive particularly if it corresponds with a signwritten van!

    it's a bit hit&miss,done it a few times when it's quite,sometimes you end up with 3/4 jobs out of it and sometimes nothing,but it does beat sitting about the house and is good exercise!

    If you have some spare time, then why not ? If you get one job from it then it is worthwhile.
