Thank you for enquiring about our distribution network We are a charity ( No 1114909). After running costs, our income fundss educational, artistic & community projects very much in line with your own outlook we are sure
Venues..We have our own specially made LEAFLET DISPLAY STANDS IN MANY EVENTS & VENUES (view here) in both the "mainstream" sector ; ie libraries, colleges, cinemas, theatres, communiity leisure & fitness centres, arts cafes, bookshops etc & also in the 'alternative' sector ie green / community & health centres
The total number of venues we network at the moment is from 2000 plus . We are happy to give you some appropriate venue detail addresses or a statistical breakdown of targeted geographical or types of venues but our total venue address list is not available for security reasons ( ie in the past "cowboys " have dumped their flyers in our stands without paying & covering up our own clients flyers ) , though most Londoners are aware of our presence in many high profile or local venues. These venues are maintained and restocked by our own distributors' personal visits, some more often than others, depending on how busy the venue is.
Runs (London Wide or Local Area targeting)
As a rule 1000 leaflets covers appx 40 visits (depending on their bulk or content), so 2000 will cover appx 80 visits and so on. The prices quoted below are for exposure in the venue stands for 8 weeks. The prices quoted below are for exposure in the venue stands for up to 8 weeks . After that time any leaflets left over & still current are circulated to other general access outlets where there is room & they are appropriate. .
Timing
Our Central & Greater London run routes are ongoing and take approximately 30 working days to cover the whole of London ( this excludes Christmas & Easter holiday periods & also many venues are closed over the high Summer holiday period). During each month we also cover our 'hot spots' runs, i.e. selected busiest venues, mostly in Central London on a weekly & fortnightly basis.. We do a major Glastonbury visit 3 times a year with regular top ups in between. We also send appropriate items on a regular basis up to the Findhorn Foundation through our special reciprocal agreement with them .
IMPORTANT: FORWARD PLANNING. Our stands can get very full some months so you need to plan ahead well. If you are advertising a specific event (i.e. dated) we recommend you let us have your literature for Greater London at least 12 weeks before the event advertised.
EMERGENCY LEAFLETS ( i.e. with an imminent dated event )
We would normally only take up to 2000 leaflets; at least 4 weeks in advance of an event is advisable ,but the best possible coverage will be given depending on the amount of time and of leaflets available..
Distribution Prices
Standard leaflet rate DL (i.e. A4 folded twice) and A5 leaflets - both up to appx max 135gsm paper weight is £65 per 1000 leaflets. Please note: WE HAVE MORE CAPACITY TO DISPLAY A ' DL' FORMAT LEAFLET, SO IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE, WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT FORMAT.

First 1000 leaflets = £65 (+ £45 admin fee = £110)
2000 = £175, 3000 = £240 etc..
Special request locally target areas - add 30%.

Leaflet sizes and Design
We display only standard size leaflets i.e. A5 & DL (A4 folded twice) We cannot normally accommodate a flat A4 format in our stands.
Notes on your Own Leaflet Design and Layout
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you bear this in mind when you use our system. Our stands have been specially designed to hold standard size leaflets for your best exposure and therefore a good response for you. We advise that the operative/most important wording should be, so to speak, your PRODUCT i.e. the public want to know what you are offering, be it Yoga or a Reflexology course etc. This should be your main title (not your name or telephone number or even dates - they will make a note of this when they have the leaflet in their hand) - YOUR PRODUCT is the information that should have the GREATEST IMPACT - remember, people scan the leaflets in the stand very quickly so your title lettering should be as large and as clear as possible and WITHIN THE TOP
ONE AND A HALF INCHES (1.5") OF YOUR LEAFLET (as this is the part of leaflet that is exposed when it is in the stand).
We are happy to give you FREE advice on other aspects of your leaflet layout and design. We normally like to look at your artwork before final printing as there are many small aspects and details that we cannot go into here that could be important to the effectiveness of your leaflet. This simple check is usually very problem free and quick and can be completed over the telephone and/or letter (TELEPHONE 020 7249 5584 FIRST IF FORWARDING ARTWORK ) and has proved to be an effective way of achieving a successful leaflet.

Disclaimer: We always endeavour to get your leaflets out in the stated time however due to occasional occurances beyond our control, i.e. dangerous weather conditions for driving, venue closure, occasional vehicle breakdown or driver sickness, print machine breadkdown (that is if you use our printers), sometimes delays are unavoidable. All reasonable compensation will be made via extended and/or alternative exposure in that event
