Are you a B2B or B2C business looking for a better way to promote your product or service? Look no further! Royal Mail leaflet drops are a remarkably impactful solution in a world over-saturated by digital communications. For example, did you know that:
- 89% of consumers remember receiving a door drop mailing. That’s more than any other marketing channel.
- As a direct result of receiving mail, 87% were influenced to make online purchases.
- 90% of campaigns that included door drops reported a rise in new customers compared to 59% for those without.
But to ensure your message gets delivered to your potential customers, you can’t rely on undependable delivery companies. That’s why we use Royal Mail for all our leaflet drops. Because when it comes to cost, reliability and efficiency, Royal Mail is the tried and tested way to get marketing material delivered. And, of course, when leaflets come with the household post, they are more likely to get read rather than being classed as junk mail!
Nevertheless, using Royal Mail is only part of what makes our leaflet drop service great. Because while Royal Mail is fantastic at delivery, Blue Market Media excels at campaign strategy, creative design, demographic profiling, quality printing, and geo-targeting.

Different methods of delivery
To ensure your campaigns generate the utmost engagement and ROI, you need the best method of delivery. With Royal Mail you can opt for either Solus or Shared leaflet distribution.

Why choose us for your door drop campaign?
Full-service solution
Nationwide reach
Precise targeting
Industry experience
Today, most businesses use a blend of marketing tactics to deliver results. And Royal Mail leaflet delivery is a powerful weapon for companies looking for a tangible return on investment.
But it takes more than just a reputable and trusted delivery partner to guarantee a successful leaflet distribution campaign. The good news is that Blue Market Media has it all. Here are some of the benefits of working with us.
Full-service solution
Unlike some leaflet distributors, we look after everything for you, so we eliminate the miscommunication and delays that often come when working with multiple suppliers. And because we seamlessly integrate all the different elements of your campaign, we guarantee consistency and alignment with your overarching goals.
Nationwide reach
We can help you to reach up to 30 million properties across all UK postcodes. But we are far more targeted than that. Using world-beating Mosaic data and demographic profiling, we also help you to pinpoint the types of individuals, households and businesses that will find your services relevant.
Precise targeting
Once we know who you want to talk to, we deploy advanced geo-plan software, to find out where your target audience is most likely to live and work. For example, we can target or exclude specific streets or districts, types of properties, and more. Let’s face it, there’s no point sending leaflets selling conservatories to people living in flats!
Industry experience
Our valuable industry experience means that – regardless of your sector or location – we know which households and businesses are most likely to respond to you. So, whether you are sending out a B2B or B2C campaign, we use your budget wisely.

Royal Mail Door Drops - FAQ’s
Does Royal Mail offer leaflet design services?
No, Royal Mail does not offer leaflet design services. However, our holistic approach provides everything you need from initial consultation and intelligent targeting, to design, print and Royal Mail delivery.
What is the Royal Mail door to door contact number?
To start your Royal Mail leaflet drop campaign, you can contact us today on info@bluemarketmedia.co.uk or 020 8610 1968.
What is Royal Mail door to door?
With Royal Mail ‘Door to Door’, businesses pay Royal Mail to distribute their advertising material to customers along with their normal post.
What’s the difference between Royal Mail door drops & direct mail?
In short, direct mail is marketing material addressed to an individual, whilst door drops are sent to an address rather than a person. Door to door helps you to identify and target addresses in specific postcodes without infringing on strict data protection laws.
How long will it take Royal Mail to deliver my leaflets?
You determine delivery dates, but Royal Mail needs three weeks’ notice to schedule distribution. If Royal Mail cannot fulfil your delivery date (this doesn’t happen often), we will work with you to suggest an alternative date or delivery partner. We only need about a week to print and deliver your leaflets to Royal Mail.
