what is a fair price to pay for leaflet distribution?

How long does it take to deliver 1000 leaflets?

@IanSuth had some math here from his youngster;

what is a fair price to pay for leaflet distribution?

I have a friend who's only working part time and im thinking of getting her to distribute some leaflets for me. im thinking £10 for every 100 leaflet she distribute. I have over 1000 leaflets. Is that too much to pay?

Thanks Ozzy. I'm thinking about minimum wage here - I suspect the only viable way to do 1000 at £15 (about 7 hours work) is to put them all in a big bin somewhere.

Anything over £1,000 a year you do need to declare with a self-assessment return to HMRC, and if you earn less than that as a provider of leaflet distribution then you are probably not what a company would be looking for.

Yup

It all depends on where you hand out.

Couple weeks ago I did some flyering as a favour for a mate - i did 462 houses in under 3 hours, 160 of those in 50mins but that was a new build estate of townhouses and small blocks of apartments with external mailboxes [a bank of 12 letter boxes is very quick to do]

mate and her daughter have been flyering for the event all week and I can see their numbers - on a long road of 1930's semi's with big front gardens it was down at just over 100 per hour

Not necessairly I had a client who wanted 6000 leaflets and I was charging £20 / 1000 then. The client will end up paying £200 am being fairer to the client they will only pay £90 here
Never charge more than £20 / 1000 or it could be a scam

Even my daughter wouldnt have got out of bed for £20/1000, that is min 5 hours work or £4 an hour and more like 6 or 7 if you arent doing a densely populated short drives area (which is getting closer to £3ph which i earnt as a 17 year old in 1988 !!)

Let’s estimate 30 seconds for a single drop. 1000 leaflets is 500 minutes or 8 hours work. £20 is below minimum wage.
