Lead Boxes - Any Luck With Them?

[pamperedlinda]

I've been considering leaving Lead Boxes at various business around town. Anyone have much luck with them? How often do you check them? Do you find that people stuff them to win the prize? Are people receptive to your call when you call them back? Any particular business you think is better than others to leave them? Any thoughts?

Not sure of the answer...just waiting to see what others have to say since this interests me too!

We left them around when I worked with Rainbow. You will get a lot of kids filling out the forms. You'll have 15 from one family. Good luck!

When I was with EcoQuest, I left lead boxes at a few businesses. Like Bobby said, mostly kids playing around. When there was anything that looked like a possible lead, I'd call, but the person always acted like they had no idea what I was talking about (and, they probably didn't). I had absolutely no luck with them.

Okie Dokie, glad I asked before I spent too much time on it. I have gotten responses from leaving minis and catalogs around with a 10% off their first order sticker on them. Maybe I'll just double-up on that instead.

Linda I haven't left lead boxes around town but I have left my catalogs at a couple places and I have gotten pretty good respond with that.

I have not left my lead box in any businesses - I'm afraid that the whole box could disappear - someone being "funny" or another consultant (other DS company) taking it for the leads. [NOTE: I know someone this happened to.]

I do however take it to my fairs. It's a great way to keep the DPDS's intact and it looks more professional.

I've had very little response from leaving catalogues too. I've had a Director email me to thank me for an order she got from me leaving my catalogue. They didn't know me and they knew her. My best luck with the least amount of expense is from my business cards. I've had good shows and big orders just from leaving my cards where ever I can.
I've gotten two good shows from a hardware store where a small table near the door had contractors cards. One of my best outside orders came from leaving my cards at a restaurant near the register.

Do you ask the restaraunt/hardware store if you could leave the cards there or did you just leave them? Hubby keeps saying to just leave it, but if I do that they might just throw them away. I have left catalogs at doctors offices and stuff but have never been called. I am very shy and I need to just get over it and offer to do a Pampered business show and if they say no ask if I can leave catalogs.
