Leaflet Distribution Service    
   
Subscribers FREE MEMBERSHIP: to use our service please CLICK HERE.
Thank you for enquiring about our distribution network. We are now a registered charity where , after running costs, excess income funds educational, artistic and community projects very much in line with your own outlook we are sure.

Venues
We have OUR OWN SPECIALLY MADE LEAFLET DISPLAY STANDS IN MANY VENUES (see photo above) in bookshops, libraries, adult education centres, colleges, community centres, art centres etc. The total number of venues on our books at  the moment is approximately 1800 but obviously each item will be placed  selectively, i.e. a large job of say 10,000 leaflets would amount to appx 400 venue visits.. We are happy to give you some appropriate venue detail addresses or a statistical breakdown of targeted geographical or types of venues but our total venue address list is obviously not available for security reasons, though most Londoners are aware of our presence in many high profile or local venues. These venues are maintained and restocked by our own distributors' personal visits, some more often than others, depending on how busy the venue is..

Runs (London Wide or Local Area targeting)
As a rule 1000 leaflets covers approx 40 venue visits (depending on their bulk or content), so 2000 will cover approx 80 venue visits and so on. The prices quoted below are for exposure in the venue stands for 8 weeks. After that time any leaflets left over & still current are circulated to other general access outlets, where there is room & they are appropriate.

Timing
Our Cental & Greater London routes are ongoing and take approximately 60 working days to cover the whole of London.(this excludes Christmas & Easter holidays & also many venues are closed over the high Summer holiday period.) During each month we also cover our 'hot spots' runs, i.e. selected busiest venues, mostly in Central London.

IMPORTANT: FORWARD PLANNING Our stands can get very full some months so you need to plan ahead well. If you are advertising a specific event (i.e. dated) we recommend you let us have your literature for Greater London at least 12 weeks before the event advertised.
EMERGENCY LEAFLETS ( i.e. with an imminent dated event )
We would normally only take up to 2000 items; at least 4 weeks in advance of an event is advisable, but the best possible coverage will be given depending on the amount of time and of items available.

Distribution Prices
Standard leaflet rate DL (i.e. A4 folded twice) and A5 leaflets - both up to 80gsm paper weight is £65 per 1000. Please note: WE HAVE MORE CAPACITY TO DISPLAY A ' DL' FORMAT LEAFLET, SO IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE, WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT FORMAT. Every time you use the service for any one single run there is an administration fee of £45 so therefore the standard rate is as below:
First 1000 leaflets = £110,
2000 = £175, 3000 = £240 etc

Individual stand display (see photo) add 20%. Non-standard size or weight material - prices on request.

Posters £35 for 50 (max A3)
Local Express Delivery £75 per 1000 leaflets up to A4 100 gsm (larger sizes please enquire)

Leaflet sizes and Design
We display only standard size leaflets i.e. A5 & DL (A4 folded twice) We cannot normally accommadate a flat A4 format in our stands.

Notes on your Own Leaflet Design and Layout
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you bear this in mind when you use our system. Our stands have been specially designed to hold standard size items for your best exposure and therefore a good response for you. We advise that the operative/most important wording should be, so to speak, your 'PRODUCT' i.e. the public want to know what you are offering, be it Singing classes or an Acting Course etc. This should be your main title (not your name or telephone number or even dates - they will make a note of this when they have the leaflet in their hand) - your PRODUCT is the information that should have the greatest impact - remember, people scan the leaflets in the stand very quickly so your title lettering should be as large and as clear as possible and WITHIN THE TOP ONE AND A HALF INCHES (1.5") OF YOUR LEAFLET (as this is the part of leaflet that is exposed when it is in the stand )

We are happy to give you FREE advice on other aspects of your leaflet layout and design. We normally like to look at your artwork before final printing as there are many small aspects and details that we cannot go into here that could be important to the effectiveness of your leaflet. This simple check is usually very problem free and quick and can be completed over the telephone and/or letter (TELEPHONE 020 7249 5584 FIRST IF FORWARDING ARTWORK) and has proved to be an effective way of achieving a successful leaflet.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE MATERIAL since we display in many public and civic venues we must be sensitive to local borough requirements. Also we wish to carry a balance of activities & services that we promote. Fortunately this occurrence is rare.

Disclaimer: We always endeavour to get your item out in the stated time however due to occasional occurrences beyond our control, i.e.dangerous weather conditions for driving, occasional vehicle breakdown, venue closure or print machine breakdown (that is if you use our printers), sometimes delays are unavoidable. All reasonable compensation will be made via extended and/or alternative promotion exposure in that event

We believe the essential information you need is here. If you read it carefully this will ensure that our subsequent telephone conversations are confined to enquiries not covered here or problems you may have.
