Do NOT use StreetPR for flyering
Do NOT use StreetPR for flyering – it cost our business £10k
I’m Jacob Robertson, the owner of SimGolfClubs Ltd. We have three indoor golf clubs across London. StreetPR has been the worst company we’ve ever worked with, failing to follow through on what we paid for, followed by time-wasting remedial efforts that have led to nothing.
Having previously arranged local flyering efforts ourselves (either delivering personally or recruiting students for the odd day), we recognised that flyering was an effective way to share details of our clubs locally. Naturally, we looked for a marketing partner that could target a larger number of properties.
We paid StreetPR approximately £10k to target 80,000 properties in proximity to two of our clubs. We were, of course, optimistic. We had flyered over 3,000 properties ourselves and had always received good feedback and customer/prospect engagement. The pre-sales experience was smooth; they mapped out the work and provided a quote.
The campaigns were split across two periods: December 2025 and January 2026. It's worth noting that these periods are particularly good for indoor golf clubs, so we expected a decent return. Our business has otherwise grown quickly, and the sector is experiencing strong growth. However, even a month or so after the campaigns, we had basically nothing to show for it. Nobody mentioned the flyers when asked how they had heard about us, nor did anyone redeem the discount codes printed on them. Naturally, that makes you question things.
We asked a number of our existing members who lived in the targeted postcodes (including me, who lives bang in the middle of one of them), and 100% of those asked said they had received nothing. StreetPR provides a GPS map of their operators, which showed the red tracking lines walking down all the streets in the postcode areas (including mine).
The problem is that an operator could walk down any road and not actually deliver anything. In fact, it would be much faster to do so. StreetPR also confirmed that operators and flyering staff are paid to complete the flyers they are given and are not paid by the hour, so they are obviously incentivised to finish as quickly as possible.
It’s impossible for us to evidence exactly how many flyers were not delivered, but from the sample of people we asked across five different streets and three postcodes, it would suggest that the majority were not delivered.
StreetPR often responds to this style of complaint by citing their GPS tracking and stating that they refute our experience. However, for the reasons discussed above this is simply not credible.
In addition to this, I have spoken directly to managers and a director at the company who said they believed us and wanted to rectify the situation. At first, they offered to re-flyer one of the postcodes (mine) to demonstrate that our experience was a one-off. This never happened. Months went by and, whenever I chased, I received excuse after excuse for the delays.
More recently, they said they would arrange a refund, promising to get back to me the following week. Of course, that deadline has now come and gone, with no refund offered.
This experience has cost us thousands of pounds and many hours of wasted time trying to work through failed remedial efforts and promised refunds. I very much hope you see this review and avoid putting your business in the same position.
Advice for companies looking for flyering services:
Start small and monitor the impact. Begin with smaller target areas, verify the quality of delivery and service, and then gradually increase coverage. It may cost you more initially, but it could save you a lot in the long run.
