DOR-2-DOR Franchise

Build a Business in Letterbox Marketing

There are more TV channels, websites and social platforms than ever, but every home still has one letterbox. Door drops remain one of the most cost-effective ways for local businesses to reach customers, and around 80% of the UK's top advertisers use them.

DOR-2-DOR has been in door-to-door marketing since 1987 and began franchising in 2001. It is now the UK's largest door drop network, with over 70 locally owned offices, and has been a full member of the Data & Marketing Association since 2001.

How the Business Works

You sell leaflet distribution and print to local shops, businesses and public sector organisations, then deliver their material through a team of part-time Post People. Profit grows as you combine several clients' leaflets in the same round, and you earn an additional margin on print and design work you supply.

It is a business-to-business model that runs from home, during normal working hours, and it can be built into a management business as your team grows.

What You Get

• An exclusive territory, fully mapped into distribution zones
• D2D-Works, the cloud-based software for managing rounds, orders and Post People
• GPS tracking to prove delivery to your clients
• A local landing page on the national DOR-2-DOR website, which ranks well for leaflet distribution searches
• Marketing material, sales and operations manuals
• Design and print support through D2D-Print
• An online knowledge base, videos and a members' forum

• Franchise fee: from £7,500 plus VAT for a standard territory, with larger territories available
• Start-up package: £3,000 plus VAT, covering the tools and materials to launch
