Totally Transparent Reporting

Leaflet Distribution Completion Map

The map shown is an example of a distribution map which shows the areas into which the leaflets were delivered.  As you will see, it identifies all of the streets delivered to, as well as streets where leaflets were not delivered.  This means that you are able to easily check the distribution.

If, for example, someone tells you that they did not receive your leaflet then you can use this map to determine of the street on which that live was actually distributed to.

In this map, the blue lines show the streets where the leaflets were delivered.  The red lines show streets where leaflets were distributed to only one side of the street (in this case the right hand side) and the grey lines show streets where there are no houses.

Non-Delivery Report

It is possible that we are unable deliver to some houses within the area selected for distribution.  The reasons for this can vary but the most common is that we cannot gain access to a block of flats.   In order to ensure that our clients have faith in our distribution, we provide a full list of properties where we could not deliver their leaflet, along with the reason why it could not be delivered.  An example of a non-delivery report is shown here.

This report shows a list on houses where leaflets could not be delivered.  As can be seen, the reasons for non-delivery vary and include some unusual ones, such as ‘no letterbox found’ which means that the person distributing the leaflets could not locate a letterbox.  While this is relatively rare, it does happen.  The other, more common example is ‘dog’.  This means that there was a dog in the garden or in the house and where the distributor felt it would be unsafe to attempt to deliver the leaflet.

GPS Data Logger Map

We have invested in a GPS Tracking System which is used by each of our leaflet distributors to record the route taken by each of person when distributing your leaflets.  Each individual set of GPS data is combined to create a log of the full distribution which can be viewed in our mapping software.  This system not only enables us to ensure that each leaflet distribution job is done correctly, it also allows our clients to see exactly which areas have been delivered to.

Each GPS data logger also records other important information, including the exact route taken by each distributor, the total time taken to deliver the leaflets, the total distance walked by each distributor and the total time spent posting the leaflets through letterboxes vs the total time spent walking for each distributor.  We use this information to help to improve the efficiency and accuracy of our leaflet distribution service.

It also adds an additional level of transparency to our service, helping to ensure that our clients can trust that we have delivered all of their leaflets to the correct areas in the correct time-scale.
