Leaflet Design Tips

Designing can be anything – advertisements, announcements, invitations – and take on a variety of shapes and sizes. They’re blank canvases waiting for a creative purpose. Maybe that purpose is to promote a concert, fundraiser, or event.

Or perhaps it’s to market a new business or advertise a grand opening. A flyer can be tailored to any marketing purpose! Here’s our best tips…

 

  • Make It Eye-Catching
  • Consider the use of Colours
  • Content (don’t clutter it)
  • Clear & Concise
  • Integrate YOUR branding
  • Strong headline
  • Call to Action (telephone call / % off a visit / coupon redemption)

We can help with the flyer design, from as little as £25! Call our office on 01642 946 946 to get your flyer campaign onto a flying start (sorry for the pun).

How To Clone GPS Tracking Data – Beware!!!

Don’t be fooled by ordinary GPS tracking devices, especially ones that are not live GPS tracked. Why would you want to view GPS tracking days / weeks after your leaflets have been delivered? If you use a reputable company, you’ll of had some new customers off the efforts of the delivery company!

Be wary of non live GPS tracking… Why?

It can be cloned!

It only takes a company to ‘genuinely’ deliver to a set area, then they have the GPS tracking coordinates on file… It’s as simple as copy and paste. So they can potentially distribute to each popular area once, so they hit all the houses. They’ve then got a catalogue of areas they’ve covered and they can simply copy and paste the gpx data to pass onto the customer; fooling the customer.

You won’t get none of that with our services, it’s all LIVE GPS TRACKED. We provide access to the tracking usually within 30 minutes of the job starting, so customers have the opportunity to ‘see for themselves’. In order for us to create GPS tracking, our delivery staff have to physically walk. Luckily, our systems cannot be altered or tampered with to make it look like we have done the route(s).

Common Leaflet Distribution Problems

A common fault with local leaflet distribution companies is consistency & reliability

This is a growing concern for all types of businesses as other companies simply cannot provide a service by proving exactly where each flyer has been distributed. You then have the problems of missed roads, missed houses, only one side of the road has been covered and the dreaded telephone call from Mrs. Jones at number 9 kindly informing you that a box of your leaflets have been dumped in her hedge line.

Customers get 100% Peace of Mind when using our live GPS tracked leaflet distribution service

We, at GPS Leaflet Distribution have the solution. It’s total transparencyreliablityand our live GPS tracking application which is further backed up by our 6 years of experience, upto date property countsprecise mapping and live radio communication between our office, and all delivery staff on the ground; as sometimes we do get things wrong. For e.g. a distributor may deliver leaflets to a road already previously covered, but it’s no problem for us as each job is thoroughly monitored, it just takes a quick radio call to the distributor to inform them and to issue new instructions or tell them to have a look at the tracking.

PROPERTY COUNTS & MAPPING
By having up to date property counts for each area that we cover with mapping boundaries, this all corresponds with our tracking app and the number of leaflets we weigh.

LIVE GPS TRACKING
This is our main service, which proves exactly where each flyer is physically being delivered. Updating every 5 seconds, it ensures both sides of the roads are covered.

THOROUGH MONITORING
Without our expert mapping and GPS tracking, we couldn’t possibly monitor output. We do this because we’re 100% transparent and we know that it’s our reputation at stake.

Number of Houses in ….. ?

Quite often, customers call us requesting a quote to deliver ‘xyz’ amount of leaflets into ‘area abc’; which is fine…

Usually, if they’ve called a competitor first, they’ll be armed with a rough number of houses in their chosen delivery area…

A enquiry that recently stood out at myself (which made alarm bells ring) was the TS5 area of Middlesbrough, which includes Acklam, Tollesby, Kader, Trimdon/Brookfield and Linthorpe. Now, at the time of writing this, I know the figure is around 15,000 – 15,500 properties (without checking our property counts).

A customer had called another local leaflet distribution company in Middlesbrough for a quote. They were advised that they would need 30,000 (yep, thirty thousand leaflets) to cover the full area…

Now, I was told they’re only charging £20 per 1000… That’s £600! We mentioned that the actually figure was 50% less than they’ve been told and that we’ll need to charge £25 per 1000. You do the maths.

We recently distributed 12,000 local magazines into that postcode, well to be precise, we had a few damaged magazines, the customer took 60 off us, we delivered around 14,780 – 14,795 and to the side is a screenshot from the GPS tracking (that we provide as standard) proving that we have delivered to the houses/areas requested (we weigh all flyers, but there was no need to weigh these magazines because they conveniently came in bundles of 60)!

For an honest, expert, friendly (insert another key phrase here that will tick all of the boxes) service… Most importantly, if you want your leaflets actually delivered, call us (GPSLD) on 01642 946 946. Get a quote online here.

Ticking all the boxes @GPSLDUK

The simple question is, do you want your leaflets (or menus, magazines etc) delivered on time in the correct areas? YES!

Of course, we understand this all boils down to cost, but you’ve heard the old saying ‘pay peanuts, get monkeys’. Does that sound familiar? YES!

Why should you pay upfront, regardless of the price per 1000 and not know if your leaflets have been delivered? We don’t agree with this, so what we’re doing is doing the work upfront and getting paid upon completion. At the time of writing this post, GPS Leaflet Distribution is the only business in the North East of England that offers this service. It says a lot about us and our reputation.

So, if you want your leaflets delivering do not hesitate in contacting us on 01642 946 946. We’re not the cheapest. Cheap isn’t always better! If you pay peanuts, your leaflets will most probably go in a bin near you! If you want them delivering professionally and quickly, using GPSLD is a no brainer as we aim to deliver your leaflets first, then ask for the money owed… Can’t get any fairer than that can you?

Afterall, we’re a business like yourself at the end of the day, we have overheads.

Book early to avoid dissappointment! Contact the office on 01642 946 946.

Quality does count in leaflet distribution terms!

Quite often I’m asked how do I guarantee that leaflets are delivered, and in some cases I am a customers last resort especially after a bad experience with other distribution companies in the past.

I totally understand where the customer is coming from, infact it absolutely narks me!

What I’ll do in these circumstances is say right, give me your leaflets, agree distribution areas, we’ll go out and do the job and all that I ask is that I am paid as soon as the customer is happy that they’ve been delivered, which by the way is backed up with our GPS tracking system and printed highlighted maps from the distribution team… You can’t get fairer than that can you?

Whether it’s 1000 leaflets or 100,000+ we have the ability to deliver anywhere in the North East of England.

Contact us today to discuss your distribution requirements, tel: 01642 946 946 / 01325 586 586.

Royal Mail or GPSLD?

Royal Mail are charging upto £65 per 1000 leaflets delivered providing they weigh under 20g.

We charge a little more than that… Which service you choose; probably RM, right?

Let’s look into this a little further…

When RM deliver the normal mail it works out cheaper for them to deliver their leaflets and they don’t have a limit to the amount of leaflets they’re delivering per letterbox. I’ve known RM to deliver 5 leaflets + mail. Meaning they’re receiving £325 per 1000 and paying the postman minimum wage! From experience it is a pain in the backside to deliver 4 leaflets per letterbox (I’ve tried it) & customer’s don’t like it! You can guess where those 5 leaflets are going! This is classed as as shared delivery – we would deliver the same leaflets with a maximum of 2 other non competing leaflets for £30 per 1000.

When @GPSLDUK deliver for ‘more than £65’ per 1000 it’s a premium service where ONLY your leaflet is delivered in its own!

Now who would you choose to deliver your leaflets? Would you choose RM @ £65 per 1000 or choose us @ £30 (or even £25) per 1000?

Have a think about it, the more leaflets are delivered the less likely you are to get any response as people class it as junk.
