      A city of suburbs, and a region around it

      Only around one in five Sheffield households lives in a flat. Most live in semi detached and terraced houses spread across the hills from Hillsborough and Crookes in the west to Manor and Darnall in the east, which makes the city well suited to door drops: lots of letterboxes, close together, with clear neighbourhood boundaries.

      The bigger opportunity is often beyond the city boundary. More than half the homes in the S postcode are in Rotherham, Barnsley, Chesterfield, Worksop and the towns between them. A retailer or service with branches across South Yorkshire and North Derbyshire can reach all of them in one campaign, choosing sectors by household profile rather than drawing a circle on a map.

      Sheffield’s two universities also matter. Student areas such as Crookes, Broomhill and the city centre behave very differently from family suburbs, so we time and target them separately, around the start of term.

      Sheffield leaflet distribution questions

      Can one campaign cover Sheffield, Rotherham and Barnsley?

      Yes. They all sit in the S postcode, so we can plan one campaign across the area and pick sectors in each town by household type, rather than running separate local drops.

      How many homes are there in the S postcode?

      Royal Mail’s October 2026 count shows 660,062 residential addresses across 196 postcode sectors, of which around 291,000 are in Sheffield itself.

      Which parts of Sheffield suit family offers?

      Suburbs such as Dore, Totley, Stannington, Hillsborough and Woodseats are mainly owner occupied family homes. We use Census and Mosaic data to rank sectors for your offer before choosing.

      Should I target student areas in Sheffield?

      Only if your offer suits students. Areas like Broomhill, Crookes and the city centre change every September, so we usually schedule student drops for the first weeks of term.

      Do your teams deliver on Sheffield’s steep streets?

      Yes. Our GPS tracked teams cover Sheffield, and every round is mapped so you can see exactly which streets were covered.

      Can you deliver around a new store opening in Sheffield?

      Yes. We map the catchment around the new site, pick sectors by household type and time the drop for the week before opening, so the leaflet arrives while it is still news.

      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!

      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.
