Advertising techniques are always changing, and sometimes it can feel as if print media and leafleting is outdated. However, this is simply not true. At Leafletdrop, we will be busting the myths on leaflet advertising and giving you the truth about how Leafletdrop can benefit your small business, helping it grow and flourish.
Myth | Leafletdrops just get thrown away
Fact | Many people have the preconceived idea that Leaflets are just thrown away. Leafletdrops are interacted with more than people think. 92%* say they do in fact read the leaflets they receive and the average piece of leaflet advertising stays in the home for 6.9 days*. 20%* of leaflet advertising is also shared around the household, and therefore isn’t immediately thrown away.
Myth | Leafletdrops don’t drive Brand Engagement
Fact | When comparing the strength of the brains response, Mail scores 0.77, compared to Email at 0.58 and Social Media at 0.57. A reading of 0.7 or more indicates a response that is likely to be powerful enough to impact future behaviour. Therefore, the brain responds more strongly to mail compared to email & social media.*
Myth | Leafletdrop lacks the reach digital channels have
Fact | Leafletdrop has a fantastic reach! We use Royal Mail to who can deliver to nearly every home in the UK. That is almost 29 million houses all of which can be effectively targeted.

Myth | I can never get the sectors I want
Fact | 99% of postcode sectors are rarely fully booked, the only reason you may not get your postcode sectors are because there may be a competing item at the same time. Therefore, your leaflet will not land on the door mat at the same time as your competitor.
