Leaflet Delivery UK


Leaflet Delivery UK offers flexible hours and easy-to-access training, making it an attractive opportunity for female entrepreneurs


Leaflet Delivery UK is a business with plenty of appeal to everyone, according to its managing director Andrew Wareing. He believes the flexibility of hours and freedom to make your own choices make it particularly attractive to women, who can fit the business around other commitments. With the demise of many local


newspapers, there is a lack of local information and ways for local businesses to reach customers in their catchment area. Leaflet Delivery UK’s regular leaflet drops help to fill that void. Its services are used by local councils, theatres, house builders and estate agents, as well as a wide variety of small local businesses and multinationals. It is also the only authorised supplier to the KFC franchise network in this field. Customers have described the business as ‘the best leaflet delivery company in the country’.


The concept behind the business One of the first things most people look for when buying a franchise is a recognisable brand. Often this comes with a prohibitive price tag. “Leaflet Delivery UK is affiliated to possibly the longest established brand in the UK – Royal Mail,” explains Andrews. “Dating back to 1516 when King Henry VIII created the position of Postmaster General, Royal Mail is the forerunner to many similar institutions set up across the globe. Leaflet Delivery UK is

essentially a reseller of Royal Mail’s door- to-door delivery service - around 99% of businesses aren’t aware that they can have leaflets delivered through the post, by their local postie.” Andrew continues: “This on its own


does not make us unique. What sets us apart is that over our 20-year association with Royal Mail, we have developed a shared mailing offering which gives local businesses the opportunity to reach 10,000 homes with an A5 size message for just £325 plus vat and that includes artwork, print and delivery.”


“Flexible hours and freedom”


Starting, training and support If you are thinking of starting your own business, there are many reasons to consider Leaflet Delivery UK. There is no


need for stock, or investment in premises or expensive vans or equipment, while training has been rated five stars by its franchisees. And the low cost of entry does not mean it skimps on support. Its head office team has years of experience in the field and is a phone call away. The training course itself is supported by a 120-page manual which covers every aspect of the business in an easy-to-refer- to format. Its systems and controls are simple and easy to understand, while the head office takes care of the production, leaving franchisees to develop relationships with customers. It is not unusual for new franchises


to make over £50,000 in the first year and Andrew says there are some which have reached £100,000 in turnover – from a franchise costing less than a tenth of that.
