We understand if you might have mixed feelings about leaflet distribution. You can see how there might be risks, but we thought that we'd try to help put your mind at rest by telling you a little more about our distributors and how they work.
The distributors that we employ we have used for several years, we know them personally and trust them. We find it important that we have a good relationship with our distributors rather than just a working one. This makes everyone that bit happier about getting your leaflets delivered successfully. New distributors go through a trial period in which they are monitored closely.
We operate an equal opportunities policy when it comes to our distributors. As long as they can speak English, are able to communicate using mobile phones, are well mannered with a professional outlook, then theydistribute leaflets for us!
Security:
We always keep up to date with what our distributors are doing and where they are with the latest technology. We also give them a call every few hours to verify how far along they are with their round and how things are going and we ask that they keep their mobile phone with them, on and fully charged at all times. This way there is twice the security and we know exactly where our distributors are and their progress.
Appearance:
We ask our distributors to dress well whilst out on deliveries. We don't expect them to wear ties and slacks, but to dress smart-casual. In the new year we are looking at bringing in shirts with our logo on, as well as name badges so our company can be defined from the clothes that they are wearing.
Privacy:
We ask our distributors to respect the privacy of the people who live in the properties that we deliver to. Through past experience of having leaflets delivered personally, we find that a distributor who looks into our windows as they distribute is incredibly off-putting and this can have downsides which can in some ways come back to the client who's leaflets are being distributed. When as a designer the MD of Manchester Leaflet Distribution, Steve Wright, was having leaflets delivered by another company before the creation of Manchester Leaflet Distribution, he found that clients were calling him to complain about the lack of decorum from the person who was delivering the leaflets, simply by glancing into their window. A lot of people will think that it's the company itself delivering the leaflets and so will complain directly to them, rather than the distribution company.
We also request that the distributors respect properties which contain a sticker on the window asking for no leaflets to be delivered. This ensures that there will be no complaints.
Here at Manchester Leaflet Distribution, we ask all our distributors to keep the privacy of our customer's clients intact and deliver as discreetly as possible when they are out delivering leaflets. We very rarely get complaints about things such as this but we find it necessary to do this as every detail counts in providing you with the best quality service available.
Respect For Property:
We ask our distributors that they close gates as they leave them and always make sure wherever possible that the letterbox they have posted through is shut. As well as this we request that, upon walking down the street or the drive way of a property that they keep a clear distance between themselves and parked vehicles to insure that there is no damage made to your potential customers vehicles.
Discretion:
Our distributors are asked to be as discreet as possible whilst delivering your leaflets. We ask them to open and close gates and push leaflets through letterboxes as quietly as they possibly can. Not everyone works during the day so we find that we have to keep this in mind whilst our delivering leaflets. We also ask our distributors not to take personal calls when they're out on a delivery and to only answer their phones when the call is from us and to then make as little noise as is possible.
Take A Look At Your Leaflets:
We have found that whilst leaflets are being distributed, people will either answer the door to get them from the distributor or that people will talk to them in the street about what they are advertising. As an additional service to you, we ask our distributors if they could take a read through the leaflets they are distributing so if they are asked about them, they know what to say, rather than just telling your potential customers that they don't know. This adds a personal level to our deliveries.
Leaflet Appearance:
Our distributors are asked to push your leaflets through letterboxes in the best condition possible. This may involve folding the leaflet gently in half for less forgiving letterboxes, but we ask that our distributors take their time about posting leaflets through much harsher boxes, such as cast iron ones, as they can very easily rip leaflets. This way your leaflet will hit the floor of your potential customer, in the best condition possible.
We also provide plastic bags to wrap leaflets in should they not be boxed in order to keep them from gaining any water damage whilst out being delivered.
We hope this has helped ease any concerns you have with using Manchester Leaflet Distribution. We find that it is the small details that can be the difference between a sale and a loss, so we take all these precautions in order to offer you the best possible service available. And all at highly competitive rates.
