Two ways to reach every UK household
LDM delivers leaflets in two ways: Royal Mail Door to Door, which reaches every address in the UK, and our own GPS tracked distribution teams, who deliver in all major towns and cities. Either one can be used on its own. Some campaigns use both, depending on the area, the audience and the budget.
| Royal Mail Door to Door | LDM GPS tracked teams | |
|---|---|---|
| Reach | Every residential address in the UK, over 30 million homes: full coverage of every region | All major towns and cities, not rural areas |
| Flats | Yes, including blocks with secure entry | Every letterbox our teams can reach |
| Proof of delivery | Delivered on Royal Mail’s daily postal rounds | GPS tracked, mapped and time stamped |
| Targeting | Postcode sector, town, region or national | Postcode sector, street level, radius or drive time |
| Lead time | Follows Royal Mail’s booking timetable, typically around three weeks | Can often start within days of print arriving |
| Best for | Regional and national campaigns, and areas with lots of flats | Local, targeted campaigns that need proof of every round |

- Get counts and costsHousehold counts for every sector, from Royal Mail’s latest monthly figures, with a costed plan.
- Book and printWe book your delivery week with Royal Mail and can print your leaflets for you.
- Deliver to Royal MailLeaflets go to Royal Mail’s centres around 10 days before your week. We handle the labels and paperwork.
- On the doormatPostal workers deliver with the daily post to every address in your chosen sectors, including flats.
Leaflet distribution coverage FAQs
Do you deliver leaflets in my area?
Yes. Royal Mail Door to Door reaches every residential address in the UK, over 30 million homes. Our GPS tracked teams deliver in all major towns and cities, not rural areas, so send us your postcodes and we will confirm counts and which method fits.
What is the difference between Royal Mail Door to Door and team distribution?
Royal Mail delivers your leaflet on its daily postal rounds, so it reaches every address in the UK, including flats. LDM teams deliver in all major towns and cities, with GPS tracking of every round, but do not cover every address in a region. Some campaigns use both.
Can you deliver leaflets to flats?
Yes. Royal Mail Door to Door reaches flats behind secure entry because postal workers have access. Our teams deliver to every letterbox they can reach.
How do you count households?
We use Royal Mail’s household counts for every postcode sector, which are updated each month, so your quote is based on the latest figures.
How quickly can a campaign start?
Team campaigns can often start within days of print arriving. Royal Mail campaigns follow their booking timetable, typically around three weeks.
Is LDM a Royal Mail partner?
Yes. LDM is a Royal Mail Door to Door partner, so we can book Royal Mail to deliver your leaflets to every address in the UK. We also have our own GPS tracked teams in all major towns and cities.
