leaflet distribution in north london

theGrinch

I want to get 2,000 leaflets dropped in north london on some residential roads and I am looking for a cost effective way to do it. Tried some local printers but most only print or charge VAT.

Also thought about ad in local paper, but this might not be the best way.

Its in and Wood Green Palmers Green.

Any ideas?

The local free papers have leaflet's inside sometimes, you could see how much they would charge to put them inside or what about putting an ad on gumtree.com?

royal mail charge c£45 for 1000 leaflets!

thanks but I would pass on royal mail as thats overpriced and I would never insert them into a newspaper as message would be lost. I mean I never read inserts :-)

gumtree is a good idea. thanks

I'm really surprised that no-one here has offered to do it! - I know you might worry about whether the leaflets will be delivered, but you'd worry about that anyway, wouldn't you?

Have you thought about putting a post on the student board to see if anyone wants a weekend working hard for whatever your total budget is? :rolleyes:

yep, I have, but not sure whether that would constitute advertising. thought about contacting local scouts and making a donation but not sure it they would do this. also local paper ad.

Is there a local college or university near you where you could put up a notice asking for students to leaflet the roads you want doing?

Where I live I get up to 6 leaflets a day in my letterbox, generally delivered by students from the local university.

Or how about an ad in the window of a local newsagent, perhaps a couple of seniors or mums with children at school would be glad of earning a little extra cash this way.
