Scissors May Beat Paper; But Paper Certainly Beats Digital!

While we know the rules of the hand game; with rock beating scissors and scissors beating paper – but here at SPS Lmd we strongly believe that paper beats digital, and in more ways than one in fact!

We can’t ignore the fact that there has been an enormous migration to electronic media, but neuroscience research shows that paper-based content and ads offer special advantages in connecting with our brains.

Years ago we were all told that Ceefax (remember that?) was going to kill newspapers, yet that didn’t happen!

We were also told videos would replace colour brochures; yet colour brochures are still here too.

Despite all the threats, print is still here – but can the same be said for Ceefax?

A Canadian neuromarketing firm called TrueImpact looked at digital media, comparing display ads and email against a direct mail piece. The research looked at attention, persuasiveness and understanding and in all tests the direct mail was found to be easier to process and better for brand recall when measuring brain waves and eye-tracking techniques.

Through this intense research they found that participants exposed to direct mail had a recall 70% higher than those participants that were shown a digital advert.

Of course we are not saying that digital does not work; but it is worth remembering the old fashioned print because it works. Especially when used as part of a leaflet distribution campaign and partnered with a strong digital campaign!

The future is print and digital working together and the companies that get on board with this now will get ahead of the market and stand out from the crowd.

You can’t create a good piece of direct mail for leaflet distribution unless you have a strong online presence to match it. While some people may feel comfortable ordering from a website, it can often be a successful leaflet distribution campaign that directs valuable traffic to an online form or enquiry form.

How To Create Door Drop Campaigns In Brighton And Hove That Get Action

When considering your door drop campaign in Brighton and Hove you first need to think about think about what the purpose of your leaflet distribution campaign in Brighton and Hove is, but also the kind of customers that live in the catchment area that you are distributing your flyers.

The biggest mistake that we have seen businesses make is that they try and cram every little detail into their leaflet or flyer and this ends up losing the excitement and interest that less detail could achieve. You need to ensure that your leaflet builds a degree of interest and gives the reader a strong pull to react to your call of action by contacting you, going into your store or checking you out online.

From the very beginning of your door drop campaign planning you need to clearly define your objective and use the campaign to accomplish your goal.

Do Leaflet Delivery Campaigns In Brighton and Hove Work?

There is no denying that we are now living in a digital age and it is thought that anything that doesn’t embrace digital is a complete and utter waste of time… which is half true. We have recently expanded from Peterborough and Cambridgeshire to Brighton and Sussex because there is a need for leaflet distribution and in some areas leaflet distribution is a more popular marketing tool that is has ever been before.

We are definitely not saying that you need to give up on online marketing altogether, but very often we are all becoming overwhelmed and overloaded with digital ‘stuff’ and instead of this digital ‘stuff’ being read, people are just clicking that delete button.

The great thing about leaflet deliveries in Brighton and Hove is that leaflets can’t just be deleted; the homeowner has to pick them up and carry them through their home to the bin, if that is where they choose to put them. However, during this journey they will glance at the leaflets in their hands and if the leaflet is eye-catching enough it will be read.

However, when you are looking into leaflet distribution in Brighton and Hove you need to think about what you are doing. Chucking some leaflets through some doors and hoping for the best is not how you plan a successful leaflet distribution campaign in Brighton and Hove. Instead you need to follow these tips;

  • Think about your business aims and objectives
  • Think about your focus market, where they live and the type of home they live in
  • Then create a planned leaflet campaign strategy to fit with the above

Leaflet distribution and flyer drops in Brighton and Hove is booming and judging by our return in repeat clients it works really well. Most businesses we work with on flyer drop campaigns in Brighton and Hove will report a gain in sales.

You can use leaflet deliveries to work with your digital campaigns to and direct the reader of the leaflet back to your website or social media. Make sure the logo on your leaflet, social media and website match and you’ll notice a growth in traffic to your website and social media platforms.

A good leaflet matched with a good leaflet distribution campaign will lead to reading the flyer, going to the website or social media, making contact with you and this will result in a good sale.

Get The Most From Your Summer Leaflet Distribution In Hove

We won’t shout about it too loudly in case we scare the sunshine away, but spring has finally sprung and summer is just around the corner so we thought we would take this chance to talk about how you can get the most from your leaflet distribution in Hove this summer.

It’s a bright, vibrant and sunny time of the year that you are advertising in, so make sure that your leaflets are bright, vibrant, sunny and summery. Using colours like yellow, oranges and purples can be extremely powerful when used the right way. While it is a great idea to use the brighter colours to make your offerings stand out, make sure you don’t go overboard with the ‘loud’ colours as this could work against you.

Think about the images you are using on your flyers for flyer drops in Hove; you need to make sure they are bright and colourful images, not an image taken in the rain or with snow on the ground. Make sure the text and colour of your leaflet complement the images on your flyer to really create an emotional connection for your target audience and receivers of the leaflet deliveries in Hove.

Don’t go for boring black or grey text on your flyers, brighten it up a bit but make sure the colours can still be seen. While it may be fun to update the font on your flyers, make sure it is big and clear enough for clients to clearly read. If you have a lot of colour on your leaflet already, then why not consider a bold white font on a coloured background?

We offer two different leaflet distribution services in Brighton, these are Solus or Shared. Solus means that we will deliver only your leaflet through every door on the streets of your choice, meanwhile shared leaflet distribution in Brighton means your flyer could be delivered with around 3 others flyers, however none will offer the same product or service as you.

While the solus leaflet distribution in Brighton is more expensive, it does mean that yours will be the only leaflet that the recipient picks up when they come through the front door.
