I do a leaflet drop once a year with my daughter in tow, during the August bank holiday weekend. That always kick starts things and usually brings in within 2 months around a 5% return. I get such a good return as I target rural areas and houses with blackened chimney pots. There's no point posting the 3rd floor of a block of flats after all.

 

So, you could try a leaflet drop and pop into your local post office, newsagent, coal merchant and petrol stations as they would all be potential retail outlets for kindling. Also, if you only do kindling pally up with your local log suppliers.

The mild weather has slowed things down as people who buy in advance have and the last minute .coms dont need to yet. Just give it a few weeks of frost and sleet and you will be flat out.
