Junk mail is annoying wherever you are. Whether you’ve started up from home or you’ve opened an office for your new small business, dealing with unsolicited flyers through your door can become more than just a drain on your time and resources. It can become a question of security.
Your business address, by legal requirement, is easy for anyone to find. Companies House lists it publically and it must be displayed on your website. It’s reassuring for your customers that your company can be traced to a specific address and it shows your commitment to corporate transparency. This address is also where important correspondence from Companies House, HMRC and other government agencies goes.
Of course, you want official regulatory bodies and your customers to know where to find you. But you don’t want just anyone to be able to send you their bulky marketing materials.
There is a simple way to stop junk mail dropping on your doormat. Sign up to LegalZoom’s Registered Agent service when you form a limited company. Our central London office becomes your official registered address. So all your post comes to us. We sort it, bin the junk, and send it

What makes an effective business flyer? – a Small Business guide
by Simon Cooper • • 0 Comments
Originally written by Simon Cooper on Small Business
Advertising your small business using products, services and promotions can be integral to getting that groundswell of support you need. A business flyer is an especially effective way of getting a customer’s attention.
According to the Direct Marketing Association (DMA), 89 per cent of people remember a flyer which has been dropped through their door.
That’s a staggering statistic and one that shows how effective flyers are at getting through to an audience when they’re handed out. At the very least, flyers guarantee your brand is put in front of your target market’s eyes, for a reasonable cost.
Use the right design, colours, fonts and messaging, and you can create an invaluable marketing tool that’ll help make your promotion a success.

Where it’s happening

Knowing the answers to these questions will help to focus your flyer design and campaign – giving you a better chance of a higher return on your investment.
