In January of 2019, we found out there was an opportunity to fly to Disney Land, Florida for two weeks. At the time, we were studying full time at New College, Swindon therefore we didn't have a job. As time went on, we started to brainstorm some ideas to make some money in our area. A few of these options were; car boot sales, cleaning, babysitting etc. It wasn't until a few days later, we came up with the idea to distribute leaflets in our area. We was very sceptical about this idea as we didn't know where to start. We put a post up in a local Facebook group which received a lot of attention. We secured our first deal with a construction company for 20,000 leaflets. However, we had our fair share of issues, mainly clients refusing to pay. Also, due to our age (we were both 17 years old) we had some disapproval from a lot of clients. One in particular asked for the leaflets back as there 'was an error' however, it turned out they thought we were still in secondary school so had their doubts about the leaflets being delivered. Once she knew we wasn't, she decided to continue the process of distribution. 

 

A few months later, we had raised enough money to go on our trip, which we didn't even go on in the end, we went to Blackpool instead...(we didn't regret it though)

​

At this point, we could have stopped with our side hustle. But instead, we decided to turn this into a formal business. We enjoyed engaging with our clients, helping local businesses to grow and providing a professional service.

​

On the 7th of August 2019, we were receiving many requests from other areas in the UK, due to word of mouth marketing. This is when we made the decision to turn Swindon Leaflet Delivery into something more nationwide. This is when we created The Leaflet Droppers. 

​

Our mission for The Leaflet Droppers is to provide a first class leaflet distribution service to the whole of the UK, with a design and print scheme available. All of our routes will be GPS tracked and delivered by fully trained, hardworking and motivated individuals. We want to work closely with businesses, focusing on their goals and ensuring their message is received by their target audience.
