I don't want to sound like I'm preaching but all it takes is a bit of thinking and you can get your leaflets delivered

http://www.gumtree.com/p/jobs/school-leaver-young-person-to-help-us-deliver-leaflets/1010152133

My son took 4 people out on a trial yesturday for 3 hrs,  I'm picking up 3 this morning and 3 tomorrow

We will pick the best 2 or 3 but we have had 39hrs of leaflet delivery in this trial.

We still have not contacted all the applicants, these are young people desperate for money, I bet it's the same everywhere.

And it works out at about £25/1000 solo delivery

You can get leaflets delivered, but in my experience it has been the riskiest investment that i have made, and i am running at a loss so far.
I have used six different companies or people the best return was when i delivered them myself and when a very good friend of mine did his own leaflets alongside my own.
All the others bar none have given a poor return and i can only conclude this practice is endemic in that industry, you may find a young person who wants to earn some money, or a guy who's out of work and wants to earn a bit of cash, but my theory is they start off with good intentions, then the penny drops.
Call me cynical if you like but throwing money away does that to you, if you have someone and you can show a reasonable return then great, my advice would be don't invest too much at any one time and monitor closely.

im a big fan of using child labour, i used to use my kids and step kids. Just dont fall into the trap of giving them an advance on there wages, ends up them always owing you time and there motivation dwindles when they've allready been payed.

Leaflet delivery companies really need to address the miss trust businesses have toward them. A couple of local companies have done this making a big point of gps tracking, i believe one company you can even view delivery in real time.

I agree with Karl, Child Labour is the way forward, Here's a pic of my daugther earning her tea, No work, No Tea!! Simples!

When you say you had them on trial , do you mean you did not pay them

Now there are two working in your business I can see how Michael Jnr 
can go and clean carpets  while you  motivate leaflet delivers
On Dragons Den they had to be able to jog  also
If you are still having pain trouble this  could develop
into profitable spin off
