This took me and my husband 2 days to do, i charge £35 per 1000 leaflets. In my opinion this is a great business to get into. Its a repeat business as well as gathering new business.

There are commonsense restrictions on what you can put through a letterbox such as samples containing nut traces, or any other ingredient regarded as potentially harmful to a child or animal. If in doubt contact the ASA. All advertising needs to conform to ASA standards - ie. legal, decent, honest and truthful.

May I leave my comment that leaflets dropping through people's doors is a way of marketing products or services on a budget while the consumers have the choice to use or bin the advertisement.

Realistic numbers are more in the region of 120 per hour but even this figure is optimistic over an 8hour day, 5 days a week. In order to conform to National Minimum Wage rates you should expect to pay a single distributor about £45.00 per day. A bona fide distribution company would charge around £70.00+ per 1,000 for a genuinely solus distribution. If you are happy to share with other items then this cost can be reduced significantly but ask all the right questions at the enquiry stage or you may end up disappointed.

Whilst posting, a carpet shop immediately offered me me £75 to deliver 5000 of their leaflets (£15 per thousand at that time! When I reached home the phone rang, a Balti house wanted me to deliver 20,000 of their leaflets locally, and another carpet shop wanted 2000 delivered. The calls kept coming, but being a one man band I started refusing jobs, I was scared by the sheer volumn that my leaflets pulled in. I hope this will encourage you rather than scare you off. I now have a couple of freiends who like the idea, and so we might take up the challenge again. Rob. Hi,

From my research, you can get 1000 leaflets dropped for as little as £20, however they will be dropped with other leaflets, or you can have them dropped individually for about £35 / thousand.
