Why Poster & Flyer Distributors Will Never Run Out Of Work

Job security isn’t what it used to be, what with all these recessions that we all stubbornly refuse to learn anything from. Nowadays, workers are more and more afraid that they might not be able to make ends meet. This is due to lack of available work. I know the feeling too well.
You can’t really blame them seeing as times are so tough. To be honest with you, it’s always been tough no matter which generation. Time is a flat circle and all that. Nevertheless, people are always struggling to scrape by in one way or another.
Flyer distributors on the other hand, don’t have to worry as much about this. This especially true when compared to employees in other professions. How much flyer distribution work is there? I have found that jobs are surprisingly plentiful in this particular line of work.
Businesses will always need to market and promote themselves. Flyer, leaflet, catalog and poster distribution is a very useful way of doing just that.
In the UK alone, there are almost 30 million individual home addresses ripe for door-drop distributors to work on. Talk about big numbers or what!? This should help reinforce to you the idea that there are many distribution jobs out there for you.
There are several reasons for this. Come with me and let’s take a look at what they are in more depth and how we can make the most out of it.
How many hours can a flyer distributor work?
You might be pleased to hear that distribution jobs is very flexible. You can work as a distributor on either a full or part-time basis as I have before.
Your hours can also relate to how fast or slow you are as a flyer distributor. Like me, some distributors can get rid of 1000 flyers in 2 hours. Whereas, a colleague at the same company might take 3-4 hours to accomplish the very same thing. It can depend deeply on how your employer does things.
Do flyer distributors get a frequent workload?
Obviously, flyer distribution works best for the worker when there is a consistent flow of orders coming in from the same client. This is a great thing for you (the distributor). You will be getting a constant workload without having to worry about where your next job is coming from.
Like any job, it can depend on what shifts your employer has available to you. Occasionally, you won’t get as much distribution work as you want. Other times, you will get too many jobs to handle. It can be very unbalanced (such is life).
What factors will affect my flyer distribution workload?
In some distribution jobs, the workload can equate to the quantity of flyers, posters or leaflets your employer gives you to distribute. Your payment might depend on the number of flyers delivered (per 1000, for example). Alternatively, workload can also hinge on the speed of your distribution work or the area you are working in.

Does the workload differ for a freelance flyer distributor?
Employees working for a large distribution company should get regular work fairly easily. Although, I know from experience that it can be a completely different story for freelance workers. This isn’t as much of a sure thing for freelancers. The divide between self-employment and conventional employment has always been stark.
If you are doing flyer distribution as a freelancer then your hours will hinge on how many clients need your services at one time. It can be very unstable and sporadic particularly if you are a newbie freelance worker.
Sometimes you will have literally nothing going on in the work department. Alternatively, you will be completely snowed under with jobs. If you show you can do the distribution work to a high standard then your reputation will grow. Subsequently, you will then become in demand.
How do freelance workers get more flyer distribution jobs?
You should try to build up a list of recurring clients who know they can rely on and trust in you as a freelancer. You will then be able to receive a more steady workload this way. It can take time to build up a good reputation as a reliable distributor so it won’t happen right off the bat.
Like any business, it’s all about building up a loyal following. If you’re really successful, it may even reach the point where you won’t actually need to advertise your flyer distribution services anymore. This will be because you already have enough clients wanting you to work with them.
In my opinion, this is the ideal situation you will want to aim for as a freelance distributor. A great way of expanding your list of clients is by advertising yourself on platforms like Fiverr. With this site, you will have access to customers from all over the world.
Is flyer distribution cheap for brands who want it?
Why is there so much flyer distribution work? More often than not, clients will get discounts if they order a large quantity of distributions at one time in bulk. The more flyer or leaflet distributions a brand orders, the more effective the overall marketing campaign will be.
It can much less hassle for a flyer distribution company to process one big order. This is more beneficial for them rather than several separate smaller orders from the same business. I find that if it’s cheaper for brands to order this way, then this means more jobs for the distributor.
Flyer and poster distribution is a really cost-effective way for a brand to get multiple people, in multiple locations to see them. Distributors can cover a lot of ground surprisingly quickly. The reach can be far and wide.
There are all sorts of benefits that would lead brands to want to utilize the services of flyer, poster and leaflet distributors. Even with the birth of new technology, distribution is still an effective form of marketing and advertising. It seemingly never stops.
If it works well for a business once then there is a good chance that same business will want to repeat this process. This means more distribution work for you. The world will probably always need flyer distribution workers, at least for the foreseeable future.
We can learn how much it benefits businesses to repeatedly order flyer distribution campaigns. The workload can be quite different for freelancers and normal employees in the distribution industry too.
We also know how flexible the work is as you can easily choose whether to work full-time or part-time.
The next thing that I recommend you do is to apply for not just one, but multiple flyer distribution jobs. Sometimes this is necessary in order to give yourself enough work. On the contrary, freelancers can advertise their service far and wide, both online and off.
The more platforms you promote yourself on, the more business you’ll get. Experiment with lots of different social media sites like:
