Hi,

I am for leafleting job around my area, do you know any companies or how to look for it?

  • Try contacting companies that you tend to see or get leaflets from, i.e. double glazing companies, take aways, insulation installers, green deal companies and so on. Try contacting companies like that directly and see if you can get any work from them.

    I never though of that, go directly to the companies :-)
    I was looking for companies that are specialised in distribution
  • Just so you know what to charge, I pay a leafleting company £500 to print and deliver 10,000 a5 leaflets. Printing costs about £100 so works out about 4p a leaflet for delivery and Royal mail charge 6p per leaflet to bundle it in with the post. It doesnt sound like much but if you can get a couple of different leaflets/companies together could be the start of a new business. I have no idea how many you could deliver in a day but i'd say you could get through quite a few.

    RM have variable prices.
    not a set 6p per item
  • ok prices I have been quoted for royal mail start at £500 for 8000 leaflets delivered, just trying to give a rough guide. I am sure the more leaflets the lower the price upto a limit

    Have a look on Gumtree, there are always leafleting jobs on there although I can't vouch for whether they are any good or not.
