Each edition’s split depends on the proportion delivered by Royal Mail. In most cases both deliveries are about the same number. For this reason we quote advertising rates per month and minimum booking is two months.

Leaflet Distribution Regular leaflet delivery is very effective although not cost effect for every type of business. Please feel free to ask for advice and how to get the most from leaflet distribution.

Each leaflet is inserted individually and delivered within Discover. This has proved to be better than separately albeit at the same time.

We provide a very competitively priced leaflet design and print service so please ask for a quotation.

A table of available slots per edition is available online.

Every edition except Meon Valley can take up to 4 leaflets per month.

I was very impressed with the amount of information I got on the website including an instant price with a breakdown. I have dealt with many magazines over the years and I have to say that Mel and Tania at Discover are a refreshing pair of professionals. Charlotte, Just Shutters
