PHENOMENAL GROWTH

According to Direct marketing Association (DMA) research, Letterbox marketing has grown rapidly since 1994 and despite the growth of the internet and online Letterbox Marketing is a very important and effective method of local communications and promotion. The market in the UK is now worth nearly £1billion with 80% of the UK's top advertisers using door drops.

In 1987 Jeff Frankling our founder started a cooperative direct mail service called Zone Marketing. Following its success and the phenomenal growth of the industry many clients asked us to print and deliver their own leaflets and advertising material. With a rapidly growing number of clients demanding a reliable door to door distribution service clearly a significant opportunity existed. We established and developed DOR-2-DOR™ into a full service door drop marketing service. This is now offered as a low-cost full colour printing and distribution franchise opportunity

WHY DOES IT WORK SO WELL

There are more TV, radio, newspapers, magazines than ever before not to mention the internet and outdoor advertising but fortunately there is still only ONE LETTERBOX.

Because the medium works so well, advertisers are turning to door drops more and more. At DOR-2-DOR we are proud to work with local shops, businesses, franchises and local government organisations. Using our tried and tested system of carefully managed Post People™ we minimise the clutter.

STRONG LOCAL DEMAND FOR DOOR  DROPS 

All businesses, however well-known need to advertise - in fact the most successful brand names are often those that spend the most on advertising and promotion. More important than that, in business terms, despite economic crisis, gloom and despondency, fierce competition, or good times, all businesses must campaign to increase or maintain their market share. Every company producing or making a product, every retail shop, every service that you need has to be marketed. Our Market therefore is virtually everyone in business.

Delivering leaflets with DOR-2-DOR is a proven method of encouraging local people to shop locally and to use the services of their own local businesses. It is a very accurate method of distribution - the leaflets can be targeted precisely where the customer wants them - general area, specific location or even to a list of streets.

Especially important for you, we have developed simple but effective methods of obtaining business, recruiting our delivery staff which we call Post People™ and backchecking the work carried out including our Leaflet Lookout Network. We not surprisingly use leaflets to carry out all these functions. Moreover the business is self generating, plus we have developed a unique system of Prospect Mapping to find customers.

PRINT FRANCHISE ALSO INCLUDED

Franchisee’s also offer a print service and head office will supply all the necessary functions (design/artwork/print) to the franchisee or you are permitted to source locally. Franchisees will make on average a 25% margin on the printing of leaflets and other print. This will be an additional £10,000 - 20,000 in a full year following establishment of the business.
