Not sure how to word leaflet

Hi all
I have a small sideline doing graphic design work (which is what I do in my actual job also) in a selfemployed manner.
I am going to leaflet all of the small to medium businesses in the area but am struggling with the wording.
I have three bullet points at the bottom which say:
Quick and Friendly
Reliable and Creative
xxxxx
The third one is where I struggle because I wanted to say that I am much more affordable than agencies but dont want to use the word cheap really as it implies poor work etc.
Can anyone help? Also, could I post the leaflet for people to proof read or is that breaking mse rules?
Thanks

I've just started entering the competitions (July 07). When I win I'll update this signature. Look on the bright side, I shouldn't have to update it very often.

Added above:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0 -
Attractively priced
Local prices for local clients
Soho quality local prices
No expensive overheads meaning better value for you
Keenly priced to expand client base
I want your long-term business and price accordingly
None of those are quite 'there', I know, but may fire some more ideas in somebody?!0 -
Just checking, does your employer know you're touting for business in the area, potentially nicking their customers?Signature removed for peace of mind0

"........and Creative"
So why asking the question??0 -
'Personal Service' - bit of an unintended euphamism?! :-/
Not unintended, lol, I thought 'quick' from quick and friendly would deter misreads!:heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.0 -
Unless you've already got one somewhere else, make the last bullet point a "call to action" such as "Contact me now ..." followed by something you like from paddyrg above.0

Thank you very much for the great response.
I am certainly not on the market for that type of "personal service"! but it would be nice to keep the friendly approach as my previous clients all seem to like that.
My employer is an authority so all work is internal and they do not look for external work so no conflict.
I wish I could attach my flyer, but it seems I cant unless its a url on a website!

A good call to action would be a nice addition to the third line. The first two lines have covered what your customer can expect from you so motivating them to call or hire you is the next logical step.0
