Why leaflet distribution works – perception vs reality

This blog is to dismiss any myths about leaflet distribution, and give you concrete facts about the incredible response rates, which can be achieved through door drop marketing. I cannot take credit for the research. It is all freely available on the DMA (Direct Marketing Association) website to all DMA members. I do however believe its relevance will directly benefit you when deciding how to market your business.

This is probably the most revealing and fascinating to research blog I have wrote so far. The way the Royal Mail operates is quite unbelievable; read on to see why.

What is 'the' response rate from leaflet distribution?

Is social media marketing better than printed marketing?

The return on investment from social media marketing versus door drops and direct mail is quite unbelievable; read on to see why. A few years ago, I wrote a blog titled, 'Is the Royal Mail better than Mr Flyer' using our Mr Flyer mascot's image in a boxing ring versus Postman Pat. This blog has for years ranked our second most viewed page, second only to our home page. Equally, when you search on Google for 'Royal Mail leaflet distribution', it ranks second behind the actual Royal Mail door to door page. Clearly then, it spiked interest!
