Leafleting | Letterbox marketing | advertise your business

It was a call like any other, asking for a quote, but the distribution was needed very fast. 

What is it regarding? We asked.

Well…we have lost our cat, from many days we have tried to deliver fliers ourselves but with no success, we think is the time to call the professionals to cover larger areas, can you help ASAP?!        

Of course we will try, it’s a bit tight as a deadline, but we will do our best. 

They were two kind girls, Kamlyn & Kate, very upset that their cat was nowhere to be seen. 

During our course of work we receive some unusual requests, some are emergency ones to notify the community late at night about a burst water-pipe, some are weird ones a Uni’s PR lady wanting us to pull people from the street, “could we persuade members of the public to register and commit 4-5 years of their life just like that?” – of course not. 

Others, are stranger still, like the suburban GB who found her hubby with another woman in bed, printed 300 home-made fliers and wanted us to find a printer to print 5.000 more and stick them on trees, shops and drop them through letterboxes to tell “whole world” Tomorrow…what a cad he was. Of course we said no, we have rules and can’t deliver defamatory or insulting material despite “the pay being very good” in her own words. We have quite some stories to tell. The story of Pablo is a heartwarming one. Usually we just complete a good delivery and our operatives move onto the next job, not all clients tell us about returns or the flow of inquiries and anyhow most know that returns with the best possible delivery are outside of our control, but Finding Pablo is one of these tales that can make our job worthwhile and raise a smile. 

In their Thank You note they wrote: 

Hi the team at Lads-3DJust wanted to say thank you for such a speedy service last week.

It might have been a bit of a strange one but it worked!

Someone called last night who had been sheltering Pablo the cat for the last 3 weeks, and he’s now safely home.

We can’t thank you enough.Best wishes, Kate D.

It was one of those days, all the guys and girls working in that area couldn’t have been happier. These two girls, our clients, spent a lot to find their beloved cat, a 10 month old tabby called Pablo. He was well kept, micro-chipped and received the best care and attention.

To find him, it took his owners persistence and love, a printing company, a distributing company  [LADS-3D] and two teams of our operatives covering a large area. All in all, in our estimation around 20 people were involved. Pablo was found. Operation “Finding Pablo” was a success.

From now on he will be kept on a shorter leash.

The concept of teamwork is extremely important to the success of our teams. Teamwork is the capability to comprehend and recognize the diverse strengths and abilities in a group setting and then applying them to one final solution. 

We always try to help the team-members learn from each other by combining the efforts of more experienced operatives with the newer ones coming through. Any group of people trying to achieve a common goal, in our case a good distribution rate, should realize that this can only be completed by the co-operative efforts of every one. 

Team leaders monitor performance based on targets reached, also on speed and thoroughness of delivery in order to find solutions to maximize performance. By nature Leaflet Distribution is hard physical work, teams working outside in the field, need monitoring, the right amount of organization and constant logistical support. 

The key to a successful distribution is Adaptation. Leafleting takes us to different places. Area density can change, as can the speed of delivery and client’s specifications also vary, in turn it is up to our distributors to adapt very fast to any change that is needed. Working outside in different weather conditions and at different parts of the city makes every job a little different than the previous one. 

All of our teams understand that without Teamwork a successful delivery will not be possible, that is why all individual operatives are aware at all times that Leaflet Distribution is a collective effort. 

Up to December last year one of the best teams was Red Team directed by Anil, working with Sam, Raj and Deepak, the guys did area saturation in Kensington, Chelsea, Noting Hill, Holland park and Shepherds Bush.

This month’s example is the Green Team that covers Camden Town, St Johns Wood-Maida Vale and Hampstead areas. Rakesh, Paveen [T. Leader] Mo and Manu.
