About Drop 2 Door
Billy Shepherd started the business in 2006 as Distribution Unlimited.
In 2013, changing the name to Drop 2 Door, he continued to provide leaflet, flyer, brochure and magazine drops to the same high standards as always.
We are not limited by boundaries or postcodes, or volume or any other inconvenient rules.
You choose where you want your material delivered, right down to street level if you wish!
Don't waste your expensive marketing leaflets and flyers by delivering them to half a postcode you know just won't want your product.
We will stop delivering at boundaries you choose – not us!
Why Choose Drop 2 Door?
Drop 2 Door only use uniformed, full time adult staff who are well trained and have good local knowledge.
However, is it really worth spending a bit extra for? We believe it is, because it is the only way we can find of being sure the delivery gets done properly.
We've seen sloppy deliveries when we've been out and this is what you may find if you don't chose your delivery company carefully.
Problems with disorganised teams
We’ve seen people who have clearly just been dropped off in an area they are unfamiliar with and are unsure what to do. Unless you are prepared and organised in a way that will help you cover as many houses as possible in the time you have, the delivery can quickly become inefficient and cost ineffective. It follows therefore, that for this standard of delivery to be profitable, it is highly unlikely that all the houses you want to target will receive your leaflet.
Drop 2 Door practise
All our staff are issued with route maps of their area and are dropped off at strategic points. The route they must follow is clearly explained to them before they start. Consequently, even if they go to a new area, they will have all the information they need to deliver effectively.
Issues with unfocused staff
We’ve seen delivery people who are obviously not fit enough to cope with the physical demands of the job. This means that they may only last a few hours before they get tired and unable to maintain the pace required to deliver a cost effective amount of leaflets. We’ve also seen people wander about in pairs. Whilst the delivery staff seemed to enjoy it, this is really inefficient and something we would only consider if we need to help a colleague get finished at the end of the delivery.
Drop 2 Door practise
At Drop 2 Door we using full time staff, our teams build up the required fitness to be able to deliver at a realistic pace for long periods. We work alone, delivering along individual routes and consequently covering larger areas.
Problems caused by poor quality delivery
If someone else has been in an area before us, we’ve come across items hanging out of the letterbox or, worse still, only held in place by the outer flap of the letterbox. If the leaflet remains visible after delivery it tells everyone passing by that you are probably not in. If you are away for a few days or more, this can become a security risk. Even if you are in, the chances are you still won’t know anything has been delivered so if it’s raining, your leaflet is likely to be ruined before the recipient will even notice it.
Drop 2 Door practise
All Door 2 Door leaflets are pushed through letterboxes!
Why we wear uniforms
We’ve never seen another delivery person, other than the postman, dressed in branded workwear. Most standards of dress range from relatively acceptable casual clothes to downright scruffy!
The postman wears his company’s name for a reason, and we believe that by having our own uniforms it lets people know that we are professional and understand what we are doing.
Backchecking
can alleviate some of the issues and keep delivery staff on their toes in addition to wearing trackers, however, it's not nearly as effective as getting the right people in the job in the first place.
At Drop 2 Door, our clients enjoy the benefits of having their flyer deliveries carried out accurately, efficiently and professionally. If you'd like to find out more, please call Billy Shepherd on 01382 330449, or email at billy@drop2door.co.uk
If you decide that a leaflet campaign is something that will be useful for your business, we hope we've explained that there are factors to be aware of that you may not have considered. Leaflet distribution is, almost by necessity, a relatively unsupervised task.
