Leaflet Distribution W3

The Private Postman logo

The W3 postcode covers the area of Acton. It neighbours on Ealing in the West, Gunnersbury in the South, White City in the East and Park Royal in the North.

It is a very well connected part of West London with the Acton Town stations running District and Piccadilly Line services and West Acton underground station running Central Line tube services.

The Acton Central and South Acton train stations also provide the locals with access to the Overground and the centrally located Acton Main Line station to multiple train services in and out of West London.

Acton can be a very industrial areas in places but there are still some green spaces to escape. North Acton Playing Fields, Springfield Gardens, Acton Park, Clayton Gardens and South Acton Park are some of the smaller green areas accessible to the locals.

Gunnersbury Park neighbouring on Gunnersbury Cemetery in the South-Western corner of the postcode is the largest park in Acton.

Right on the W3 border in East Acton we can also find Wormwood Scrubs park which which is similar in size to Gunnersbury Park and provides the residents of the Northern Part of W3 with some potential nature time.

One of the areas that is very specific to W3 is the Park Royal area. It is the largest industrial estate in Europe and even though our standard door-to-door distribution automatically excludes businesses we do run b-to-b distribution in Park Royal specifically.

The Park Royal industrial park is so large that a good number of leaflet can be delivered here to many companies that might actually be responsive to certain kinds of services.

This is very different to delivering leaflets to High Street shops that provide basically zero chance of a response.

The testament to the effectiveness of deliveries in this area is the fact that The Private Postman delivers our own brochures here regularly.

Outside of Park Royal W3 provides us with a slightly confusing mix of Victorian Terraced homes, large affluent detached residences, industrial areas and pockets of small residential homes with varied demographics.

The only way to properly analyse this postcode and provide consistent leaflet distribution services is to refer back to our mapping system. We have segmented the postcode to multiple groups of 5000 households that are organized in demographically consistent way.

This allows us to help you pick exactly the area within Acton that will be the most responsive to the services or products you are offering. This technique is important in every postcode if the goal is accurate targeting and running effective leaflet distribution campaigns.

However in a postcode that is as varied and diverse when it comes to the types of properties and households as W3 having a detailed and thoroughly designed mapping system is indispensable.

Acton includes one of the most difficult types of properties to navigate and that are industrial buildings.

When we are looking to deliver leaflets to residential households (which is what we do and specialize in) the most desirable quality in an area is ease of navigation. In an easy to navigate area the distributors can be very effective with their time and the danger of accidentally missing addresses or even whole streets is minimal.

In an area like W3 we make sure to discuss with our distributors ahead of time the points to look out for when delivering what parts of the postcode they might get lost in and how to avoid this.

This might seem relatively trivial, however when we run distributions and campaigns that might include simultaneous deliveries made by ten or fifteen Private Postmen we can save a significant amount of time by preemptively addressing these issues before-hand.

This allows for us to run a smooth campaign for you and save our clients money.

We also make sure to never fold your leaflets when delivering unless absolutely necessary and we do not make any deliveries in the rain. We want to make sure that all your leaflets are delivered quickly, efficiently and in the best shape possible.

Since parts of Acton can also be challenging to deliver due to a large number of stairs and extra walking needed to avoid some industrial areas we always balance the difficulty level attached to the physical deliveries and the number of leaflet we ask each distributor to deliver.

This way our workers always feel like we are in control of what is happening and that we don’t ask them to exert an unreasonable amount of effort when it comes to delivering.

This can easily happen when the central office is removed from the deliveries and plans are made without taking into consideration the exact conditions on the ground.

This is not the case at The Private Postman. We pride ourselves on our realistic approach and knowledge of London that we are happy to share with all our clients.

We pride ourselves largely on how well we can deliver leaflets to the most famous and affluent parts of London. We know how to organize deliveries, campaigns and repeated deliveries to affluent homes in central London very well.

Our detail oriented approach to mapping and leaflet distribution itself pay of in areas like W3 that offer other challenges as well. Distinguishing between industrial areas, businesses and residential addresses can sometimes be difficult as well as passing on all of this information to the distributor on the ground.

We’ve gone through how our mapping system works above in this post. One thing we haven’t mentioned in depth is the level of training that our distributors receive.

We take on only approximately one in twenty applicants for the job and we make sure that they know not only the correct delivery techniques but also the parts of London they will be working in very well.

We generally brief our distributors on any challenging area like W3 they might be going into.

We make sure they know what specific difficulties they might encounter and how to deal with them. This is useful due to the variety of conditions one might be dealing with when delivering in Kensington one week and Park Royal the next. The approach in these areas has to be different.
