Leaflet advertising is a powerful way to land your message directly to consumers in the comfort of home.
Leafletdrop is brought to you by Whistl, market leaders in audience targeting and leaflet services. We work with many clients from big to small, local to national and understand that audience targeting delivers better response rates and stronger return on investment. That’s why Leafletdrop gives you an easy-to-use audience targeting tool to help you find the right audience who will more likely engage and respond to your leaflet campaign. With access to over 27 million UK households, our simple targeting tool lets you build up leaflet distribution by postcode area.
Every postcode districts contains around 2,500 households. We apply industry leading data tools to understand the common traits for each postcode area such as age, income and presence of children. This creates meaningful audience groups which can be selected in the tool.
We’ve grouped the UK population into four Life Stages:
- Families: Adults with children
- Early Life: Adults 21-35 years old
- Mid Life: Adults 35-55 years old
- Later Life: Adults 55 years and over
Within each Life Stage, we’ve created more detailed sub-groups for stronger targeting:
Families
• Playschool Parents: with pre-school aged children
• Primary School Parents: with Primary School aged children
• Secondary School Parents: with Secondary School aged teenagers
• Hotel Parents: Mid-Life mature parents
Early Life
• Fledglings: Young adults still living in the parental home
• Nest Builders: Young and married in own property
• Flown The Nest: Young singles living in own property
Mid Life
• Non-standard Families: Not married/living as a couple, living with relations, do not live with their children
• Unconstrained Couples: Middle aged Couples with no Children
• Mid-life Independents: Middle aged singles with no children
Later Life
• Empty Nesters: Mature couples with no children
• Senior Sole Decision Makers: Mature Singles
