      A city at the centre of a wide, rural postcode

      York itself holds just under half the homes in the YO postcode. The rest are spread across market towns, villages and the coast: Selby, Malton, Pickering, Thirsk, Driffield, Scarborough, Whitby and Bridlington. For a business that serves North Yorkshire rather than just the city, that matters, because a leaflet plan can follow your real customers rather than the ring road.

      Inside the city, two in three households own their home, well above the national figure, and suburbs such as Haxby, Wigginton, Dringhouses and Fulford are full of settled family and retired households. The two universities bring a large student population to Heslington, Tang Hall and the streets around the centre, which we target separately.

      Outside the city, homes are far apart. Royal Mail Door to Door is usually the right way to reach villages and the coast, while our teams suit the denser streets of York itself.

      Where the homes are in YO

      The YO area covers York plus a large part of North Yorkshire and the East Riding coast. Interestingly, the biggest district is Selby rather than central York.

      York leaflet distribution questions

      Can a York campaign include Scarborough and Selby?

      Yes. Both are in the YO postcode, along with Whitby, Bridlington, Malton and Driffield, so they can sit in one plan with sectors chosen town by town.

      How many homes are in the YO postcode?

      Royal Mail’s October 2026 count shows 284,338 residential addresses across 102 postcode sectors, with about 139,000 in York itself.

      How do you reach villages around York?

      Royal Mail Door to Door is the best option for rural villages, as your leaflet arrives with the daily post at every address in the sectors you choose.

      Should I leave out student areas?

      If students are not your audience, yes. Sectors around the University of York in Heslington and parts of the centre have a high share of students, and we can exclude them.

      Is York good for premium offers?

      Often. Around two thirds of York households own their home, and suburbs like Haxby, Fulford and Dringhouses score well for owner occupiers. We rank sectors before you choose.

      Do tourists affect leaflet campaigns in York?

      Not for home deliveries. Visitors stay in the centre and in short term lets, so for local residents we focus on the suburbs and villages, where nearly all permanent households live.

      LDM did not disappoint...

      5/5

      From the moment I contacted them I felt at ease and was updated from the beginning to the end of our campaign. Their customer service was outstanding – answered all the questions I had and made everything run as smoothly as possible. Would highly recommend & will most certainly be using them again.

      My account manager was really easy to contact and stayed in touch throughout the entire campaign. They organised our door drop easily and exactly as we wanted. We’ll be using them again in the future.

      Team was fantastic...

      5/5

      I’ve recently used LDM UK for two door drop distributions and Sean and the team were fantastic! Really helpful in scheduling the drops in, selecting areas and keeping me updated on progress. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them or use them again.

      Fast, efficient & helpful...

      Fast, efficient and helpful Service. LDM did a big leaflet drop for us which had instant positive results. Throughout they were friendly and were in regular contact to update me on their progress. I will definitely work with them again.

      Will definitely be returning...

      5/5

      Bit skeptical initially if I would generate any business from flyers but happy with the return. The design of the leaflets and the detail on it were certainly a contributing factor in targeting my specific type of business. I thought that the fact they wear uniforms and are well turned out helped as well It made it more professional in my opinion. Due to my scepticism I did spot check with my clients to ensure they received flyers. Happy to report that they did.

      Super friendly and professional team, they went above and beyond to meet exactly what i wanted with my leaflet campaign.

      Great service from Sean and his team during the lockdown. Extremely professional, friendly and helpful. 19k magazines delivered quickly and efficiently under difficult circumstances. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!

      Susie Kwok

      LDM have worked tirelessly to meet the high demands...

      5/5

      Craig and the team at LDM have worked tirelessly to meet the high demands I set out for them. I dropped 40k off to be distributed within three days as I was let down by another company, I was reluctant that this could even be achieved! But achieve LDM did. Can’t recommend them enough and the tracking is a great addition. Thank you, see you again in June for the next drop!

      Kieran Thomas

      Absolute 10/10 for LDM!

      Would recommend them without hesitation...

      5/5

      We have used LDM twice now for a leaflet distribution in central Manchester, and would recommend them without hesitation. Not only do they do what they say they are going to do – post the leaflets – they evidence that with strong reporting. They are also super accessible, responsive, and proactive – communicating progress at the right time. Very effective and professional people.
