Austerity heralds a revival of the door-drop leaflet

British Marketing Survey data for the final quarter of 2010 bolsters the view that response rates from door drops justify the outlay. Leaflets through the door led to a near 7% response rate in the quarter – the highest of all media – with its nearest rival, TV, on 4.9%.

It is not just the response rates and low costs that brands like about door drops. Some also argue that leaflets – far from restricting creativity with a limited platform – provide stand-out in an increasingly fragmented media landscape. Research by Data Talk commissioned by Royal Mail found that 87% of consumers recalled leaflets posted through the door, compared with 69% for TV, 35% for email and 30% for online ads.
