Although online marketing channels seem to take the upperhand nowadays, the relevance of traditional leaflet marketing can not be underestimated. However, it is important it is organised as efficiently and effectively as possible since paper prices are going through the roof and municipal taxes are rising. Cost-cutting in your door-to-door distribution budget requires serious thought. Instead of surfing blind and merely lowering frequency or dropping zones based on vanity metrics, it is possible to target highly potential zones with minimal loss of impact.
