I've tended to have one person on the go for 10-20 hours a week delivering leaflets. For the last 6 months it's been myself and wife but we want to step it up a bit.

I just wondered what larger scale delivery methods others have tried and how successful they were. I was thinking about Royal Mail but my feeling is that it won't be successful because they seem to deliver 5 or 6 at a time.

I'd be interested in what you do/did Soupy. I'm sure you've said previously your business was built with leaflets.

Doing the Royal Mail thing right now. I'll do a pie chart and stuff after.

Very interesting. I've stuck ads on various Facebook selling sites over the last couple of days for leafleters. So far we've recruited four. We're getting them to use Strava to track it. But from experience I know that they don't tend to last and we're still 4 at least short of how many we want.

Most delivery firms will deliver more than one leaflet at a time, would be too expensive otherwise, I think the
Royal Mail can have up to a maximum of 13 at a time, you certainly wouldn't want your leaflet to be delivered in a lot that size.

I've got an ex postie working for me. He said it's a maximum of 5 or 7 a week (I can't remember which) but they deliver them all at the same time. A section of the round at a time so that they aren't overloaded. So you're going to get 5 or 7 at a time. I'm not sure it's ideal - unless it's pretty cheap!

I guess it depends where you live, we're pretty rural here and don't get much bumpf in the post, so our fliers stand out more. Leafleting companies want twice as much as Royal Mail to deliver to rural postcodes.
