Here, Winkworth estate agents have used an enticing property image that promotes the positive lifestyle of country living to encourage engagement with the advert. The image reinforces their brand positioning, using an image of a prestigious property to demonstrate their exclusivity.

When printing your leaflets for a leaflet drop, it is important to get a heavy weight paper or card to withstand the delivery process. Lightweight paper is easily ripped or scrunched up in letterboxes if it is not handled with care. Although popping it inside a local paper can help prevent this, it is less likely to be seen and your investment could go to waste.
