Reopening a Toy Shop after lockdown

Reopening a toy shop after lockdown will be a challenging prospect.

Even though people in London tend to be a little less tentative to go back to their normal work and shopping habits compared to smaller towns it is still important that you let all of your local area know that you are reopening.

Many businesses have not survived the prolonged lockdown we’ve had to deal with.

As such it is imperative that everyone in your local London area knows that you are ok and open for business.

Leaflet distribution is a great tool for this.

The fundamental advantage of leaflet distribution is the fact that everyone within reasonable distance of your shop can have a physical piece of advertising delivered to their home informing them of the fact you are open for business, your offers and/or events.

On each leaflet you can include graphics and logos clearly stating that you are taking the virus situation seriously, taking all precautions and following government guidelines.

On top of this you can use modern leaflet distribution techniques that allow you us to deliver a segmented or repeated distribution campaign where we deliver your leaflets to the same area multiple times while keeping strict rest periods between each drop.

This way you are informing everyone in your local area that you are back in business, you do so repeatedly but sensitively and ensure them that your shop is safe to buy from. This is something that could be extremely difficult to do using other marketing methods.

Leaflet distribution is uniquely efficient in some forms of marketing and this is especially true following the lockdown.
