Leaflet Distribution Price
Home > Leaflet Distribution Price
The first question most small business owners ask about door drops is straightforward. How much will this actually cost? The answer is rarely a single number. Pricing depends on the plan, the size and weight of the leaflet, the area being covered and the size of the print run. London Circular Distribution keeps the cost structure simple so clients can work out a sensible budget before committing to anything, and the rates have stayed transparent for over a decade.
Across London, the leaflet distribution price for a standard A5 or A6 flyer falls into a clear range. Solus distribution starts at £120 + VAT per 1,000. Shared distribution starts at £50 + VAT per 1,000. Selected street campaigns are priced at the solus rate, with the client choosing exact roads. The team is happy to walk through the figures on a free call before issuing any quote.
Compared to most paid digital channels, leaflet delivery in London is one of the lower-cost entry points for local marketing. A targeted 10,000-copy drop in a single postcode can cost less than a fortnight of paid search activity, and the leaflet stays on the kitchen worktop or front mat for days rather than seconds. For a local restaurant, estate agent or fitness studio, the maths often works in favour of physical mail. Print costs are separate, but the distribution side itself remains one of the most affordable ways to reach a real-world London audience.
This is the highest-response option. Your leaflet is delivered on its own, with no other materials included. This option provides the strongest response rate. Solus distribution tends to yield the highest response rate, particularly for offers tied to a specific date or a short promotional window where impact matters more than spread.
The client’s leaflet travels with one or two non-competing items. The cost per 1,000 drops by roughly half compared with solus, which is why shared remains the most chosen plan for smaller budgets and steady local marketing.
A solus drop where the client picks the exact streets and house numbers. The leaflet distribution cost per 1000 matches solus, but the geographic control is tighter, which suits campaigns aimed at a specific high street, estate or affluent road. The full door-to-door service page sets out how each plan works in more detail.
Volume: larger runs typically attract better rates per 1,000.
Leaflet size and weight: A4 or heavier items are quoted individually.
Area density: high-volume catchments are usually cheaper per drop than scattered routes.
Optional extras: GPS tracker reports add £10 per 1,000, and back checks are quoted on request.
A clear conversation up front saves money down the line. The team can talk through which plan best suits the goal, whether the targeting can be tightened to reduce costs, and what a realistic response rate looks like for a given budget. Free advice on plan choice is available before any commitment, and a written quote can usually be put together within a working day once the catchment and leaflet specs are confirmed.
Solus distribution starts at £120 + VAT per 1,000 leaflets. Shared distribution starts at £50 + VAT per 1,000. Selected street campaigns are priced at the solus rate, with the client choosing the exact roads and addresses to be covered.
A run of 10,000 copies across a focused catchment usually produces the strongest response. Smaller print runs can still work for selected street campaigns aimed at a few hundred specific addresses on a high street or estate.
GPS tracker reports are an add-on at £10 per 1,000 and can be applied to any plan. Back checks are quoted on request, and the cost depends on the size of the sample being checked.
Yes. The standard rates cover A5, A6 and similar single-sheet leaflets. A4 or heavier items are quoted individually, since they affect how many can be carried on a single round and how long each drop takes.
A free consultation call covers the postcode, the plan, the size of the print run and any extras. A written quote will follow within a working day, with the exact cost broken down line by line.
