Sports Programme Mailing
Sports programmes are time-critical. Whether it’s for a midweek cup fixture or an upcoming pre-season, your distribution needs to hit letterboxes before the match and that means a mailing house that understands fixture scheduling just as well as postal lead times.
We work around your calendar. Each programme can be polywrapped in recyclable film or inserted into an envelope, inkjet addressed to your season ticket holder database and despatched via Royal Mail with Mailmark® barcodes. Our standard turnaround is 3 to 4 working days from receipt of stock and a clean data file.
The process, end to end
1.Data and fixture brief
Share your season ticket holder list and fixture schedule. We can run a free GDPR-compliant data audit and plan despatch dates around your calendar.
2.Print (optional)
Programmes printed in-house via Bishops Printers if required. Litho for larger volumes and digital for short runs or variable content.
3.Polywrap and address
Each programme wrapped in recyclable poly, inkjet addressed on carrier sheets or laser printed with name and address. Optional overprint of fixture date or member number.
4.Despatch
Sorted and despatched via Royal Mail. We time despatch to land in advance of each fixture date.
Recurring fixture mailings
We can hold your season ticket holder data and manage despatch across a full season – one brief, multiple fixtures. We store stock between mailings and can accommodate last-minute team sheet inserts.
