For distribution wit Royal Mail in Scotland, you have to arrange for your materials to be delivered Royal Mail in Perth between 10 to 14 days in advance of your leaflet distribution.

At 2112 Leaflet Distribution, we can accept delivery of your materials as soon as the day before they are due to be delivered.  They can even collect your leaflets and flyers from you if required

Royal Mail will only deliver to full post code sectors and may even  exclude some sectors – the ones that they deem to be too difficult!  This means that leaflets are delivered to all types of people, whether they are likely to respond to your leaflet of not.  There is a cost in targeting the wrong audience.

2112 Leaflet Distribution are not limited to any specific area and can distribute your leaflets in any area that you choose, from district to town to estates and even down to individual street level.  More importantly, we can use our demographic profiling system to target very specific.

Since Royal Mail only deliver to complete post codes, the volume of marketing materials you need to supply tends to be higher than you need because it is not targeted much of it is wasted.  For example, if you need to deliver to houses only, Royal Mail will deliver to flats in the postcode so you are effectively wasting a potentially large proportion of your leaflets and paying for priting and delivery that you do not need.

2112 Leaflet Distribution will deliver as much or as little as you want and will work with you to make sure that your leaflets and flyers are being distributed in the best areas to help you attain your business objectives.

The Royal Mail are a very large company and while they are governed by certain rules and regulations, they are not really accountable to individual customers.  If you don’t believe this, try telling them that a few people you know did not receive leaflets that should have been distributed by them and you will soon find out how interested they are in your ‘complaint’.  They will simply use their get-out clause that they can have up to a 10% non-delivery rate.   That is 1,000 residences in a 10,000 drop and makes it virtually impossible for you to make a case against them.

2112 Leaflet Distribution are, however, 100% accountable to our customers.

This information is also very valuable in helping  to ensure that our leaflet distribution jobs are always completed to their very high standards.

Royal Mail always deliver more than one leaflet at the same time and often they deliver 4 or 5 leaflets at the same time.  Worse still, every leaflet other than the biggest one is stuffed inside the largest item.  This means that means that there is a very good chance that your leaflet will never be seen by the householder since it is ‘hidden’ amongst the others.
