DoorDrops4U is part of the KNP Group. We're a family-run print business and for 30 years we've helped our customers, from local businesses to multi-nationals, reach their customers by delivering high-quality print and mailing products.

Make your response measurable wherever possible.Consider including a unique QR code, promotional code, dedicated landing page, telephone number or an offer on your leaflet. This can help you see how many enquiries, visits or sales have come directly from your campaign.If you're running campaigns in different areas using separate codes or landing pages can also help identify which locations perform best.The more you learn from each campaign the smarter you can make the next one.
