About The Design Print Distribution Group
The Design Print Distribution Group (DPDG) is the UK’s fastest-growing door drop print marketing business. It helps its clients to grow through the power of print and offline marketing.
DPDG is a door drop leaflet distribution franchise founded by Mike Ethridge and Lee Phillips in 2014 with its head office based in Bristol. Its aim is to get its clients the exposure and new enquiries that they need as business owners and to provide them with great value marketing. DPDG works closely with local companies such as estate agents, retirement homes, restaurants, local councils, through to nationwide businesses such as Deliveroo, Dominoes, David Lloyd, Specsavers and more so that they can benefit from this form of marketing.
How does The Design Print Distribution Group franchise model work?
The DPDG business model is not only proven and thriving but is growing year on year. It provides franchisees with unlimited support and everything needed to start getting clients on board from day one!
Its B2B paradigm affords business owners the opportunity to develop repeat business relationships with ongoing high volume-based loyal customers. Unlike some of its competitors and many other franchises that you may have considered in general while thinking about your next business venture, at The Design Print Distribution Group, your franchise has four avenues of potential income for you to take advantage of and to build yourself a successful business around.
• Leaflet distribution campaign: The need for this has never been greater, volumes grow year on year. Your local town or city is full of businesses with potential customers and you can help them find them whilst making very healthy margins.
• Print management: Print marketing is still a big part of the overall marketing picture. You can help your clients with all their print requirements, again with healthy profit margins.
• Direct mail campaigns: DPDG’s clients sometimes have a specific idea of their target audience. With a data-driven direct mail campaign, you can help them reach their target market, after all, every business would like more customers.
• Graphic design: All the above needs designing, sometimes clients will do this themselves but often not, another thing you can help with and a very easy upsell.
What attributes does DPDG look for in its franchisees?
The Design Print Distribution Group is seeing strong demand from businesses that use leaflet campaigns as part of their marketing strategy. It has thus expanded its network and is looking for more candidates to take this forward by using its successful business model and replicating it in other areas in the UK.
