Leaflet Distribution

  • #41
    The Leaflet Distribution industry in full of pitfalls, many can be avoided, and when ever you speak to people many have negative views of these distributions.

    I am simply pointing out the facts.

    As I am not promoting a company I can tell the truth, but I am sure very many leaflets companies would agree with what I am saying.

    I think this is now becoming silly.

    If you think by paying less than the cost price to do the job is a good idea, then good luck to you,

    but please do not come back onto forums such as this complaining about a distribution company when you get less than you had hoped.

    Who says it is less than the cost price of the job? That will depend on the structure and overheads of the business in question.

    I have no complaints with my current distributors, who do an excellent job and our leaflet campaigns are doing well. If I have a complaint with them I would take it up with the owners not whine about it on a forum! :p

    I used to be a paper boy in my youth and would do two or three rounds a night for the money, hence my estimates of delivery times.

    As a distribution cost the arguments being raised surely depend on location of delivery.So Dave is quite right in the valleys where the majority of properties are terraced it is going to be a darn sight cheaper to a) source labour, because of the high unemployment stats b) be seen to be more competitive with their rates allied to other locations where distribution becomes logistically more difficult and rates have to be adjusted accordingly.

    I would be seriously be concerned as a business model that rates/ number of flyers only costs are given.

    Can anyone recommend a flyer company that delivers around mid-glamorgan area? There are a few online I've found but they either charge extra for outside cardiff or don't look very professional. I know you need to be careful of leaflet distribution as alot of companies may scam you and throw the leaflets away.

    Hi - We are also looking for a leaflet delivery service, initially in mid Glam but later in other areas so if you find someone It'd be great if you could pass on the info. Maybe there's a way to share the cost by grouping a few businesses together in one "drop" We'd certainly be happy to do that.

    Hi,
    I am a new memeber to this site, I joined as i was doing some research and came across this post.
    I run a leaflet distribution company in south wales, we work all across south wales. And im sorry but some of the prices people are mentioning in this post are ridiculous,
    20 and 25 pounds per 1000 leaflets on a solus basis is not commercially viable.
    I have been involved in this business for a long time and when i see these sorts of prices it makes me cringe.
    I pay my guys more than the prices quoted in this thread. but then again i live by the motto " pay peanuts get monkeys"
    I get calls from new customers all the time after they use companys that charge that kind of price,, and they are allways disgusted with the return they got,,, hence coming to me.
    I tell these customers simply, i will never compete on prices BUT i will always compete on results..
    1000 leaflets takes 5 hours to deliver in the easiest area and 8 hours in the tough ones....mmmmmm and someone will charge only 20-25 pounds for this.? exactly how are they ethically and legally making money?
    and if they dont run there business ethically or legally then what exactly are they doing with your leaflets? I for one would never trust a company that runs in that way with any type of work. just my 2 peneth worth... oh and hi..

    Hi,
    I have been reading this forum for a while and have paid particular interest to this thread as I have recently started my own business as a leaflet distribution company. I am an ex postman and my employees are the same, we pass on our skills learnt as postmen to the delivery of leaflets, we make sure that every single leaflet you pay for gets delivered, we offer solus delivery only, we wear uniform and take care to shut gates and ensure that the leaflets are delivered in A1 condition. We charge a fair price for a job well done.
    I have seen members say that a fair price would be £15 per 1000 leaflets delivered. I don't know how any company can charge £15 per 1000 for solus leaflet delivery this would mean that you would be paying your staff less than £4 per hour to deliver them.
    If you need leaflets delivered (posted through letterboxes not stuffed into garden gates, left on pathways etc) then give me a pm, but expect to pay a fair price, but for that you will be guaranteed a very good job and all of your leaflets delivered.
    my website is leaflet-post-uk.co.uk
    I built it myself so your comments on it would be appreciated
