    Hi,
    I have invested in a beautiful glossy hardback brochure - it works really well when someone is flicking though it (as opposed to viewing it electronically).
    They cost me maybe about €7.00 each.
    However posting them to the UK seems to be costing me about €9.00 each & the UK is where the markets is.
    I send out about 2-3 a week & will move this up to 10/15 p.w. over time.
    Occasionally I courier over 50 of them pre-stamped with UK stamps to someone in the UK who posts them for me.
    Would anyone have any better suggestions?

    Is it an option to have a UK based company do a print run and mail shot to your contacts?

    In the future - yes I think I'll have to try this out. When i looked before it seemed anyone was interested in sending out 2000 items in 1 go say, but we are not at that level really.
    For a separate simple leaflet I have sent out 2000 letters before - spread over 12-18 months. I'm sure I could've found a better way & will look in the future.

    But these hardback books are so obviously expensive to post @ €9 each it doesn't seem to make sense.
    I know of someone who used drive to Newry once/month for this purpose when he had a lot of post to send - but we are 3 hours from the border
