Not sure where your from, but News Quest is a local paper company in the north. I know theyre pretty big, so will prob own most local rags now, so, your leaflets will most prob be going out in the local rag....bad idea!

Hey thanks for that. Tell me why its a bad idea. You had dealings with this company previously?

Not the company, but leaflets in the paper, usually 1 of many, and many local freebies go straight in the bin.

I know its expensive, but solo distribution (your leaflet on its own) is the best way to go, but usually costs from £40 per 1,000.

Mine are always 2 sided, windows one side and upvc/conservatories the other, so a 2 or 3 connie cleans pays for the leaflets!!!!

Just ordered 40k leaflets £479.00 double sided full colour A5. They work with a company called News Quest. Anyone heard of these.
They charge approx £12.00 per 1000 to deliver the leaflets. I was thinking using them for some and delivering myself with the lads with some more.

£12 per 1000 is far too low for leaflet distribution.  it takes an hour to deliver between 100-200 leaflets.    £12 doesnt even pay for 2 hrs minimun wage...  and thats without any profit margin for them.

sounds more like you'll be paying £12 per 1000 for some cowboy to dump your leaflets!

sounds more like you will get them delivered in a paper with a bunch of other leaflets, solo leaflets work the best, I dont know about you but most papers I get get dumped straight in the bin leaflets included
