  • Cost-effective advertising

    We know every penny counts for your charity. That’s why leaflets are a smart, budget-friendly way to make a big impact without breaking the bank.

  • Extended Exposure

    Leaflets are often kept and shared in households, which is a great advantage for charities. Each leaflet can be seen multiple times, amplifying your reach and impact.

  • Building trust

    Leaflets give your charity a tangible presence, helping to build trust. When people hold something in their hands, they’re more likely to feel confident and connected to your cause.

  • Measurable Results

    With leaflet distribution, you can track your campaign’s response rates, website visits, and inquiries to see exactly how well your fundraising efforts are working.

  • Christmas outreach

    The Christmas period is crucial for charities, and with leaflets you can put your charity’s message directly in people’s hands, making it easy for them to get involved and support your cause.

  • Reaching the right demographics

    Digital channels often miss older adults who prefer traditional methods, but leaflets make sure your message reaches them directly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I select the right households to target?

Leafletdrop gives you access to a total of over 30 million households in the UK. You can target postcodes around your business either by selecting a geographical radius or drive-time for distribution, and by identifying relevant households based on your target audience.

How long does it take for my leaflets to reach my target audience?

When scheduling your distribution, you will need to pick a date three weeks in advance to allow for Royal Mail to plan in the distribution. Your leaflets will then be delivered over a two week period from your chosen start week subject to availability. If there are any problems with availability, we will be in touch to select alternative dates.

How much does a Leafletdrop campaign cost?

How much does a Leafletdrop campaign cost?

The cost of your campaign will depend on the service option you require.

1. For distribution only, Leafletdrop gives you a price for distributing your leaflets to your chosen target households.

2. For print and distribution, Leafletdrop gives you one all-inclusive price for printing, transporting and distributing your leaflets to your target households based on the leaflet size, style, format and quantity you choose.

3. View our pricing section to get a quote if you have a specific mail format and/or campaign volume in mind.

Who delivers my leaflets to my target households?

Leafletdrop uses Royal Mail distribution which covers all 30 million UK households. This network is ideal for 100% coverage of your chosen areas to ensure maximum reach and is delivered alongside the householder’s addressed mail. On occasion, when Royal Mail are not available on your chosen distribution dates, we will use Whistl Home Network or contact you to arrange another suitable date.

I would like my booking to go out over multiple start dates, is that possible?

Yes, this is now possible with our slick new system. You can select different dates for different areas but they must be within 13 weeks from the first start date to the last.
