A5 Leaflet Printing is probably the most common size ever! With hundreds of thousands of these leaflets printed and distributed throughout the United Kingdom every day, which means something must be working!!!
The A5 size works really well because it can be produced and distributed economically, the size works for all types of lithographic presses, from the SRA3 press getting 4 out of a sheet, the B2 press getting 8 out of sheet and a B1 press getting 16 out of sheet.
This means that there is a healthy competition when it comes to price for the A5 size, see below an example of the price grid from Print-it-247 and see for yourself just what good value the A5 size really is!

When you are deciding on how best to circulate your printed leaflets, there are a couple of key factors to consider. Firstly are you going to distribute these yourself? Most people underestimate how time consuming this can be, as an example look at how many houses are in the street where you live, then roughly work out how long it would take to post 1 copy through each letterbox, this should begin to give you an idea of time versus quantity. The other option is to use a distribution company, this would certainly be my recommended distribution method, be sure to check out a few different companies as there are a few cowboys operating in this market. Try and get some testimonials or speak with a company that has used their services previously. If you find the right company they should be able to advise you on the best distribution package that will suit your requirements. There is also the option of using your local newspaper which can be very affective and very reasonable in price especially if you are offering a local service.
Please see below a couple of examples of the professional approach that you should be looking for when choosing the company that you want to work with.

Realising that they are only as strong as the individuals they employ has been the key to their growing success.
Whether you intend to distribute your leaflets yourself or use a professional company, a good tip is to think about how advertising works and look at what the big companies do like coke, nike, BMW etc.. they all use repetition, you will see their adverts time and time again, the reason for this is that it works. You can apply the same method to your advertising campaign as an example if you purchase 25,000 A5 Leaflets rather than sending them out in bulk to 25,000 potential customers, you will find you would get a better response by sending the leaflets out to the same 5,000 potential customers once a week across 5 weeks. This method really enhances your brand awareness and builds confidence in your product or service with your potential customer base.
When you are planning your next campaign I hope that the above in formation will be helpful in regard to the choices that you make, please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or recommendations!
