Leaflet Distribution.
Leaflet distribution, also called leafleting, leafletting or flyering, means handing printed material straight to the audience you want, face to face, in a public place. Executional provides the people who do it across the UK, for one morning outside a single shop or a campaign that moves from city to city.
Hand to hand leaflet distribution from a team briefed on your offer
A flyer only starts working once somebody takes it. Whether they do comes down to the person holding the stack: where they stand, how they catch an eye and what they say in the second or two before the passer-by has gone.
Every leaflet distributor we send is chosen to suit your brief. The pool behind them is over 6,000 strong, registered with us through 40 UK hubs. You bring the leaflets. We bring the people who put them in the right hands.
Checked Before The First Flyer
Nobody starts a shift before we have seen their Right to Work and ID, and Employer and Public Liability insurance covers you on every campaign. Ask for DBS checks and a risk assessment whenever you need them.
Your Offer In Their Words
Tell us the offer, who it is for and the line you want people to hear on our briefing form. That becomes a briefing session each person sits through before their first shift.
No Payroll Lands On You
PAYE runs through us, with NI, tax and HR handled for every person we place, so none of that work comes back to your desk.
Watched From Check-In
Reminders land before every shift, people check in with a geo-tag and we monitor attendance live. A project manager runs your booking, with support on the phone at any hour.
Best places to hand out flyers, staffed by us
Choose the spots your audience actually walks past and we put people on them for hand to hand leaflet distribution. The plan is yours; our job is the staffing.
Staff your chosen spots →High streets and town centres
Shoppers on the main pedestrian stretch, outside your door or a few shops along. Handing out flyers on the street is the classic pitch, and it sits well beside wider street marketing when you want more than paper.
Station approaches
Commuters heading in and out at the busy ends of the working day. Handing out flyers at train stations rewards a short, clear line, and for a campaign built around the station itself there is train station brand activation.
Shop fronts and opening days
Local leaflet distribution around a new branch, a relaunch or this week's offer, turning people towards your door instead of past it. Scratchcards and money-off vouchers go out the same way.
Race days and fan zones
Crowds arriving at racecourses, fan zones and venue gates, where a flyer can carry a bet offer, a menu or a QR code into the rest of their day.
Retail park walkways
Car parks and footpaths between big stores, catching people on foot with a reason to make your unit their next stop.
Office districts at lunch
Office workers out for lunch or on the walk home, for food deals, gyms, travel and services aimed at people who work nearby.

Flyer distribution service FAQs: permits, prices and cover
What people want settled before they book a flyer distribution service, each in a line or two.
Ask for your price →Can you hand out leaflets in the street?
Yes, in most places. Handing out leaflets on a public street is allowed in most UK towns. Some councils mark out zones where you need their consent first, which the next answer covers.
Do I need a permit to hand out flyers?
It depends on the council. Where a zone needs consent, we can arrange the council permission for you if you would like us to. The cost differs from one council to another and is quoted next to the staffing. Plenty of brands and their agencies apply themselves, which works just as well.
Can you hand out leaflets at train stations?
Yes. Leaflet distribution at train stations suits offers aimed at commuters, such as food on the go, travel and local services. Handing out leaflets at train stations tends to work best at the peaks, so name the stations and times you want covered and we will cost it.
Can you hand flyers out in London?
Yes. We have a London office and over 2,000 local staff, so leaflet distribution London-wide is everyday work for us. If you want to hand out flyers in London at rush hour, list the stations and the times. For hand to hand London leaflet distribution further out, outer borough high streets included, the brief works just the same. Flyer distribution London quotes follow the same format as any other. Our page on event staff London has more on the city.
Do you cover leaflet distribution near me?
Almost certainly. Our 40 staffing hubs reach every UK city and most towns, so a brief for flyer distribution Birmingham city centre is staffed the way a London one is. Need leaflet distribution Leeds city centre? Same people, same steps, and leaflet distribution Glasgow city centre runs on the same footing. City pages: event staff Birmingham, event staff Manchester and promotional staff Leeds.
How do flyer distribution rates work?
There is no set rate. Your price comes from the sites, dates, hours and headcount you give us, and the quote shows how each part adds up before anything is booked.
Can I hire someone to hand out flyers for one day?
Yes. A single person for one morning is a normal booking, and so is a team out for months. Late requests are welcome too, though the earlier you ask, the more people we can choose between.
Do you deliver leaflets door to door?
No. We only do leaflet distribution hand to hand, face to face with the public. Nothing goes through letterboxes.
Can your team hand out free stuff with flyers?
Yes. Vouchers, scratchcards and branded giveaways can go out alongside the paper, as long as your brief says what each item is for and who should get it.
Do you hand out flyers for event organisers?
Yes. Gates, queues and the walk up to the doors are typical spots, and the team works to your timings and to the venue's own instructions on the day.
Who decides where the leaflets go out?
You do. The strategy belongs to you, and we write the briefing around it and staff the spots you pick.
Are your flyer distribution staff insured?
Yes. Every booking we take carries Employer and Public Liability insurance. Before anyone is placed, Right to Work and ID are confirmed.
