As a council there are many things you need to inform your local citizens about. Whether it’s the availability of support programs in the current crisis or changes in opening times due to shortage of staff. Leaflet distribution is probably the best way to do this as it guarantees deliveries to absolutely everyone within your borough.
But many distribution companies are not operating now and Royal Mail is not the quickest or the most cost-efficient option out there. Does your London council need leaflet distribution?
Social Distancing
Many London-based leaflet distribution providers operate in teams.
These teams tend to commute to their place of distribution in a van together and conduct their deliveries in groups in a planned way.
This means that many distribution companies cannot adhere to the current guidance on social distancing in the workplace. And as such they rather shut down their business for the time-being.
We at The Private Postman operate a very different system that focuses on the freedom of the individual distributor to deliver their leaflets on their own and keep a week-worth of stock at home.
Our aim has historically been to provide as much freedom to each individual distributor as possible. This has turned out to be quite helpful in the current climate as our distributors always work on their own and never come into contact with each other.
This also extends into our London depot and logistics department where we have individuals working at specific times and never larger teams of people together.
Without planning for this we have developed the ultimate social-distancing leaflet distribution system.
Social-distancing leaflet distribution system
Does your London council need leaflet distribution? A social distancing leaflet distribution system is what you need.
As it is necessary to deliver mail and information to the locals of your borough and Royal Mail is not the fastest way of doing so we can work with you on case by case basis to allow our workers to be delivering in the current climate as essential workers.
Due to the nature of our business we can also very quickly react to any changes in government guidance and stop or start your distribution to respect what our government is asking from us. We have chosen to develop a system that is nimble, relies on individuals and does not get slowed down by a big logistics machine.
If the government decides that it is better to stop all movement we can ask every distributor to stop delivering the same day.
Thanks to our decentralized stock management system we can also restart our deliveries as soon as we are allowed to without delays.
This is something that other systems are simply not able to do and it allows us to be very nimble and get all the crucial information your council needs to deliver to the citizens in your borough delivered.
Does your London council need leaflet distribution? Well, we hope that we can help you and provide you with the ultimate social distancing leaflet distribution system.
