WOMEN IN FRANCHISING
Delivering success
Leaflet delivery UK off ers flexible hours and easy-to-access tra ining, making it an attra ctive opport unity for female entrepreneurs
Leaflet delivery UK L
eafl et delivery UK is a business with plenty of appeal to everyone, according to its managing director
Andrew Wareing. He believes the fl exibility of hours and freedom to make your own choices make it particularly attractive to women, who can fi t 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. Leafl et delivery UK’s regular leafl et drops help to fi ll 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 fi eld. Customers have described the business as ‘the best leafl et delivery company in the country’. We provide businesses with a very simple 'done for you' service.
The concept behind the business One of the fi rst things people look for when buying a franchise is a recognisable brand. Often this comes with a prohibitive price tag. “Leafl et delivery UK is affi liated to possibly the longest established brand in the UK – Royal Mail,” explains Andrew. “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. Leafl et 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 leafl ets delivered through the post, by their local postie. “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 under £400 plus vat and that includes artwork, print and delivery.”
Starting, training and support If you are thinking of starting your own business, there are many reasons to consider Leafl et delivery UK. There's no need for stock, or investment in premises or expensive vans or equipment, while training has been rated fi ve stars by its franchisees. The low cost of entry does not mean it skimps on support. Head offi ce has years of experience and is a phone call away. The training course is supported by a
120-page manual covering every aspect of the business. Systems and controls are easy to understand and head offi ce 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 fi rst year and some have reached £100,000 in turnover – from a franchise costing less than a tenth of that.
