The Leaflet Distribution process has very many areas that can affect its final performance, and many of these issues never even occur to many of the companies that use this direct marketing medium. Recently a great new website has been produced, giving lots of ideas and tips on how to improve the success of any campaign, probably all the information that you could ever need. It starts with the basics and goes through the entire process pointing out the pitfalls on the way.

Why not visit the Leaflet Distribution Guide and help to make your campaign a success.

The main point of any leaflet distribution is to make an impact, hopefully to to deliver your marketing message. Have you ever considered a die cut leaflet ? Do you even know what a die cut leaflet is ? Well for the viewers that do not know, it is a leaflet that is cut into a particular shape, not just the normal rectangular shape, for example the shape of a star or similar shape. There are lots of printers in the UK that specialise in creating these die cut leaflets, and are well worth talking to or visiting their websites, anything that you can do to make your leaflet more appealing or interesting is without doubt a great advantage in a marketing world. Think of what shapes may be relevant to your business or industry, the limit is your imagination, or the shapes of dies that the printer has !

The initial impact that a die cut leaflet produces is often greater than a normal A5/A4 leaflet, so right from the start you have an increased chance of your marketing message being read.

With all the media coverage of the tennis in the last few days a number of tennis clubs and coaches are organising a leaflet distribution to grab some of the business that the  media hype has stirred. Using the ambient news and news articles is a great way to help with any promotion, the idea is already in many peoples minds, and they just need a trigger to make that first move, and a leaflet distribution is a perfect way of doing that.

Leaflet Distribution like any form of direct marketing is at its best when it has been planned, and planned with thought and care. Leaflet Distribution at this time of the year must have the weather considered, and to use the weather to its advantage. You just have to look out of the window today to see that there will not be a huge demand this weekend for barbecue food or charcoal, so if your marketing this weekend is based around that you are probably in for a disappointment. Think about the forth coming weather, check long range forecasts, and knowing the great British weather you do not need to be a genius to work out that we are not going to get much sun in the coming months. Plan events and offers around indoor events, outdoor clothing etc, but the main point here is to plan ahead, think 2 months forward, get organised and get out there with your message, and what better way to do it, than with Leaflet Distribution.

When you carry out a leaflet distribution make sure that you have done everything you can possibly do to make sure that the distribution goes ahead as well as possible. Every week we see the same old problem, mistakes in the text, in happens as often in leaflets that have been printed by the company owners themselves, as ones that have been printed by third party companies. Does anyone check these leaflets ? You must make sure that you check every single word, not just a quick read through, but checking every word, and checking the spelling of that word. Once you have gone through the leaflet a few times and are sure that it is mistake free, then ask another person to check the leaflet again. In the last week we have seen two leaflets that have had mistakes, one of the leaflets contained a word that had different spellings and meanings but was pronounced the same and the second had a mistake in a telephone number ! Make sure that you take the time to check your leaflet, once the distribution has taken place it will be too late.

The CBI have announced that during the first two weeks of August 46% of retailers report a downturn in sales. Advertising your services through the medium of leaflet distribution may help in getting your message out to your perspective buyers.
