Leaflet distribution is still one of the most effective means of direct marketing. In fact, leaflet distribution has evolved over a period of time, and there are a few organizations that specialise in marketing of products and services via leaflet distribution. To better understand how leaflet distribution has evolved into a precise process, let's take an example. Let's assume a company XYZ wants to advertise their credit repair services. Contrary to popular belief, a leaflet distribution firm will not randomly mail out the credit repair company's leaflets. Today's leaflet distribution services are more precise and specific in nature than randomly mailing out leaflets.

The first step is deciding how much XYZ can afford to spend on its leaflet distribution; depending on XYZ's budget the leaflet distribution firm will offer XYZ various options. For example, if XYZ only wants to promote its services in a particular part of UK, the cost of distribution will be lower than for nationwide leaflet distribution. Similarly, XYZ's advertising campaign will be more successful if they target particular communities and regions where their services might be in demand. In essence, it is possible to target a particular socio-economic group using the services of leaflet distribution firms.

XYZ can also choose to target a particular postcode or constituency via the leaflet distribution firm. It is important to understand that targeting a specific area is just part of the leaflet distribution challenge. Usually, leaflet distribution firms bundle 2 or 3 leaflet distribution projects together, which means the recipient receives more than one leaflet at the same time. Chances are the recipient will not give the leaflets the attention they deserve (if he receives more than one leaflet at a time). Only a handful of leaflet distribution firms have specialized teams that ensure that all leaflets are distributed individually, so the recipient only has one leaflet to read (this technique is called the SOLUS method of leaflet distribution).

What is equally true is that leaflet distribution firms no longer use the mail and newspapers as their sole means of distribution. In fact, some leaflet distribution firms like Mailbox Nationwide depend solely on manpower for leaflet distribution. Although, the amount of time it takes for a leaflet distribution firm to distribute leaflets varies (depending on the number of leaflets, the area of coverage and also the budget), there is no denying that the SOLUS method of leaflet distribution is by far the most effective means of delivering leaflets.

If you are looking for a leaflet distribution firm, make sure the firm can guarantee that your leaflets will be distributed to the region or socio-economic group you specify. In addition, check to see if the leaflet distribution firm has considerable experience and can actually handle the amount of leaflets you want to distribute. Also check to see if the leaflet distribution firm is using the SOLUS method of distribution, this will ensure that your leaflets are distributed direct to the recipient's doorstep without any competition whatsoever.
