Doordrop Media Supports Charities with Whistl
Promotional advertising services like Doordrop Media can be very beneficial for acquiring new donors and informing your current supporters about how their donations are being used. Whistl's comprehensive advertising solutions provide the guidance you need to enhance your fundraising ROI. We provide full support throughout your advertising campaign, from brief to analysis, so your charity can focus on homes with the strongest propensity to give. Using our extensive anonymised data sets, our Doordrop Media campaigns enable your charity to reach almost all 30 million UK residential homes and even extend your reach into European markets.
Using Print Media for Charities
Reach new donors in previously untapped postal areas and demographics with our targeted door-drop marketing services. Placing printed Doordrop Media items in the hands of your audience enhances their sensory experience, facilitating an immediate tangible connection between your charity and the recipient.
Through a partially addressed mail delivery service, you can spread awareness of your charity to specific households without using personal data. By taking advantage of geographic insights and profiling while addressing your recipients with generic names such as ‘occupant’ or ‘homeowner,’ you can refine the scope of your campaign while remaining fully compliant with GDPR rules.

Direct Mail
