You can feel it, can’t you? Everything’s started to ramp up.
Q4 is here, Black Friday and Christmas are coming, so now’s most definitely the time to make sure your marketing lands on doormats (and in hands) before it’s too late, and your competitors get there first.
Whether you’re running a pub or restaurant, gym, fitness centre or sports club, garden centre, take-away, car dealership or estate agent, you’re slap bang in the middle of when you really need to grab attention this, fill spaces, increase bookings and boost sales before the year’s out.
But here’s the question, how do you make sure people actually see your special offers, events and promotions?
Easy. You get one to one with them and get your message directly into their hands at home, with a well-timed door drop campaign.
Door drops campaigns work - the stats don't lie.
In a world full of scrolling thumbs and skipped ads, a physical leaflet has real stopping power. Check out the stats on our How It Works page but to whet your appetite, here are a few powerful numbers:
95% of door drops are engaged with – opened, read, kept or passed on.
67% are opened immediately, and
16% are shared with someone else in the household.
That’s marketing that actually gets seen.
And when you combine that with some smart targeting by selecting specific postcodes, towns, cities or regions, you’ve got yourself a campaign that minimises waste, hits homes and hits the mark.
From local domination to nationwide reach
DoorDrops4U gives you access to over 30 million UK addresses. That means you can go as big or as local as you like.
If you’re an estate agent, you can focus on the neighbourhoods you’re selling in. A takeaway? Target just the delivery zones you cover. A charity? Raise awareness regionally or nationally. And if you’re a pub, restaurant or gym, a well-timed flyer now can get people booking that Christmas party, joining your January challenge, or popping in for your festive set menu.
Wherever you need your message to land, we’ve got the reach to make it happen.
Simple, fast and stress-free
Let’s be honest, this time of year’s busy enough without juggling separate printers, booking in delivery dates and getting your head round postcode maps. That’s why we set out to make the whole process easy.
We handle everything end-to-end:
Print: choose from sustainable print options that make you look good and feel good.
Targeting: pick local streets, postcodes, specific demographics or go all out for national reach.
Delivery: working with Royal Mail or our nationwide network ensures your leaflets arrive where and when they should.
It’s hassle-free, fast-turnaround, and affordable, so you can spend less time stressing and more time preparing for the busy season ahead.
Your Quarter 4 opportunity
October to December isn’t just busy, it’s manic. Customers are ready to spend, celebrate, and make plans. For businesses like you, that means opportunity knocking (or rather, landing on the doormat).
Think about it:
Promote themed events, family activities, or special offers. Announce big discounts or savings and drive immediate action ahead of Black Friday.Get those festive bookings and last-minute Christmas gift buyers.
But timing is everything. Wait too long, and printing slots, delivery schedules, and attention spans fill up fast. So book things in early and your leaflet could be the one that drives that next sale, table booking, or sign-up before your competitors even get theirs out.
So what's next?
If you want to get more eyes on your business, more customers through your doors and more sales with less stress, now’s the time to get your campaigns locked in.
DoorDrops4U will help you reach the right people, in the right place, at the right time, with door drops that deliver real results.
So don’t leave your busiest season to chance.
Plan it, book it, door drop it, sell it, the easy way.
