      NE reaches far beyond the city

      The NE postcode holds nearly five times as many homes as Newcastle itself. It covers Gateshead, North and South Tyneside, Cramlington, Blyth and much of Northumberland. Sunderland (SR) and Durham (DH) have their own postcode areas.

      So the first question on any North East plan is how far your customers will actually travel. For a city centre business that might be a handful of NE1 to NE6 sectors. For a retail park it could be half the region.

      New store openings in the North East

      We plan door drops for Heron Foods new store openings, including openings in the North East. Each one starts with a map of the homes within easy reach of the new store, then the sectors are picked so the leaflets land in the days before the doors open.

      The same approach works for gyms, restaurants and showrooms: draw the catchment, check the households inside it, and time the delivery to the launch.

      Newcastle door drop questions

      Does the NE postcode include Sunderland and Durham?

      No. Sunderland is SR and Durham is DH. We can add either to a Newcastle campaign.

      Which North East districts have the most homes?

      On Royal Mail’s October 2026 counts, NE34 (South Shields) is the largest with 25,132 homes, then NE6 (Byker, Walker and Heaton) with 24,892 and NE5 (Fenham and West Denton) with 24,611.

      Can you help with a new store opening?

      Yes. We map the homes around the new site, choose the sectors and time the delivery to land before the opening, as we do for Heron Foods.

      Do your own teams work in Newcastle?

      Yes. Our GPS tracked teams deliver in Newcastle and all major towns and cities. Rural Northumberland is better covered by Royal Mail Door to Door.

      What does it cost?

      Shared door drops start at £88.25 per 1,000 for 10,000 leaflets under 20g, falling to £61.04 per 1,000 at large volumes, plus VAT and print. Solus is from £179 per 1,000.

      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...

      5/5

      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. The response I got was phenomenal, and has enabled further growth and opportunities. By far the best distribution company I have dealt with, could not recommend them enough! Looking forward to working with LDM again.

      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.
