Promotion tips for your business

If you want to let more potential customers know you’re in business then consider promoting your business to other local businesses and to the local area. Why not consider:

• A featured profile article on your business
• A customer e-newsletter
• Facebook blasts and ads

Tip #1 Visit all of the companies/small businesses in the surrounding area of your business and hand them a small leaflet with some kind of special like 20% off, a loyalty card or a two-for one deal. (Don't forget to ask for their emails if they want to be on your mailing list.)

Tip #2 Consider a leaflet drop for the locals in your Town/City. People love discounts or soemthing free. A local leaflet drop can be very cost effective, its non intrusive and hits them in a timely manner. Get a well designed leaflet printed on good quality paper and delivered locally by: you, your staff, friends and family (that's usually pushing it though) or delivered by a reliable local specialist. AND REPEAT. Never just do one leaflet drop and then leave it - you are wasting your money. A regular distribution will get you noticed and expected. Better to do less househelds, but more often than lots just once.

We can help you brainstorm more promotional ideas, write your leaflets, print your leaflets, deliver your leaflets and put a big push out on social media or an optimized press release. A free one hour marketing consultation is FREE. So book your appointment NOW. Call me on 07803 171 076.

Adults 'unaware of NHS data plans'

Fewer than a third of adults recall getting a leaflet about changes to the handling of medical records, a poll for BBC Radio 4's PM programme suggests.

The NHS in England is set to collect data on patient care by GPs for the first time, uploading some of the information to a database.

#Leaflets explaining the scheme, and how to opt out, should have been sent to 26.5 million households in January

But only 29% of 860 adults polled by ICM Research recalled getting one.

According to the poll, about 45% of people remain unaware of the plan to share some data from GP medical records.

Of course, this #leaflet was delivered with the post, which means recipients are more likely to pay more attention to the letters than the #leaflets. 

According to research by Marketing Week "87% of consumers remember door drops". 

For a better response rate, it is advisable to have leaflets delivered #solus or part of a shared #leaflet only drop - not with the post of with newspapers (which can lower response rates).

7 Reasons why a leaflet drop Dor2Dor.net will increase your profits in 2012

No question about it, leaflets work - Leaflets are a superb cost effective method of advertising. In fact leaflet marketing is used by 80% of the UK's top advertisers (source Direct Marketing Association). It works for them.

· Your leaflet will not face competition from your rivals. An ad in a newspaper or magazine faces all types of competition. Newspapers even have competing adverts on the same page! Also, if the ad is placed in the wrong position, then it may not be seen at all. What a waste.

· Your material is not delivered with the post or with free newspapers - Papers all tend to be delivered on the same days, so there is a lot of competition for your advertisement. We deliver leaflets seven days a week so they do not have competition. Also, Royal Mail now deliver 5 leaflets all folded tightly together – how good is that for your ad?

· All our deliverers/Leafleters are reliable adult local people - we do not use "gangs” or children. Reliable delivery is our number 1 priority. We have a proven system to verify your leaflets are delivered – including GPS Tracking.

· Our prices are very competitive - with prices starting from £36/1000 (regular contract rate). We can also pick your leaflets up, store them and deliver them to your agreed plan. We also print leaflets very cost effectively.

· Our distribution areas are smaller and more defined than postcodes - with a 95% coverage guarantee.

· We provide a one stop; design print and delivery service across Kent. Design – Print – Deliver – Results
