    So, what exactly is a mailshot?

    A mailshot is a term used for a direct marketing communication method where businesses contact a large group of customers and prospects through the post.

    Does Royal Mail offer Mailshot services?

    No Royal Mail mailshot services are available as they offer final sortation and delivery services. There are no plans for Royal Mail to offer mail shots, and it is unlikely that they will do so in future. They do offer mass leaflet delivery services for sending unaddressed mailings.

    Here at The Direct Mail Company we offer personalised and non-personalised mailings, so contact us here if you would like a free quotation.

    Post office mail shots – Do they offer them?

    In short, no, the Post Office does not offer any mailshot services. The only thing they can do is post and mail your mailshots, but you will have to print and enclose them at home if you wish to DIY them.
