The LDHQ Campaigns & Elections Team are running a rolling programme of bulk-buy deals on literature and Royal Mail door-to-door delivery.
Here’s info below about the new phase we’re offering.
Why opt in to the bulk-buy deal?
- It’s a process that you’re hand-held throughout – meaning you do not have to deal directly with Royal Mail or the Printers
- It’s often (though not always) cheaper as we’re ordering in bulk
- As we offer door-to-door postage, it allows a greater degree of flexibility for seats without deliverers in the current climate
If you would like to take advantage of this phase of the bulk buy print deal or the Royal Mail paid delivery option, you need to obtain permission from your Local Party Treasurer and complete this form by 5pm, Tuesday 6th October.

Who is the Royal Mail contact? Stefan Mills – stefan.mills@marketreach.co.uk – you will need to request a booking form from him – he will guide you through the process and ensure you get the best deal.
How do I find Postcode Sectors?
A Postcode Sector consists of the first part of a postcode, and the number at the front of the second part of a post code. For example, the postcode “SW1A 0AA”, is in the postcode sector “SW1A 0.”
If you want a list in Connect of only individuals of a certain Postcode Sector, you can go to the “Addresses” field of Create a List, and type the Postcode Sector into the “Postcode” field.
Alternatively, you can add the Postal Sector as a field on a Standard Text export in Connect by selecting “Customize Export” when exporting a list, to see all Postcode sectors contained in a mailing list.
Anything I should be aware of? Please note the prices quoted are for standard postcode-sectors, if you require bespoke measures to ward level or to an exact constituency, the price will increase significantly as some items would be addressed.
Literature will begin to land in seats from Monday 26th October for Royal Mail and Friday 16th October for hand-delivery.
Once you have completed your order you will be sent an email with more information about next steps, including artwork upload.
If you have any further questions please contact campaigners@libdems.org.uk
