Do you have a minimum?
We do and right now it’s 3,000 leaflets. This will be increasing in the future.
Please also note, we’re happy to deliver at this minimum, but to really give leafleting a chance we recommend at least 10,000.
How much does this cost?
We’re hesitant to put prices on our website, simply because every campaign is different and we need to take into consideration the areas you want to target, the size and weight of your leaflets, any special requirements you have, etc.
However, because we know this is so important, we’ve put together a very basic and rough guide. (For leaflets, prices are for a4 already folded, a5, a6 or cards. Larger items are subject to an individual quote)
Solus: Starts from £60 per 1,000 leaflets. This gets you a dedicated leaflet drop and means only your leaflets are delivered.
Shared: Is cheaper as you’re sharing distribution costs. This starts from £35 per 1,000 for 3 companies. Or £47.5 per £1,000 for 2 companies. (All other leaflets will be “non-competing” with yours and won’t be with newspapers or magazines.)
Newspapers: Prices start from £70 per 1,000.
Magazines: Prices start from £80 per 1,000.
How are you able to ensure our leaflets are being distributed?
A lot of people have their doubts that their leaflets will be delivered, and that’s completely understandable.
Because our business is built on your trust, we’ve developed these three techniques to guarantee the highest delivery rate possible.
1) GPS tracking: All of our staff carry GPS tracking devices which show us the exact route they take and the exact time they take. This data is updated every 12 seconds. Because these updates happen so often, we’re basically always “alongside” our staff and can make sure that they’re spending the right amount of time to deliver leaflets. Quite often these updates will even show our staff walking up and then back down people’s driveways… it’s actually kind of creepy… but in a good way!
2) Deliverability estimates: On top of our GPS tracking, we also get the latest data from Royal Mail, which shows us their estimates for how many letterboxes are deliverable on each street.
We then use this data when we set routes for our distributors. This means if we give our distributors 1,000 leaflets and a route with 8 streets, which Royal mail estimate has 1,000 letterboxes, and they then come back to us saying they only had enough leaflets for 5 streets, we instantly know there’s something wrong.
We can then go check the route ourselves and confirm how many letterboxes they should have been able to deliver to! This stops our staff from putting 2 or more leaflets through a letterbox, and again means we’re constantly working to ensure you’re getting the highest deliverabillity rate, which we estimate to be at least 97% actuate.
3) Spot checks on deliveries: We’re also constantly providing spot checks on all our staff. This is always unannounced and means our staff have no idea when we’ll “spring a visit” and keeps them on their toes!
How do we supply you with our leaflets?
