Blackpool graduate launches direct mailing startup

Natalie White has started up DOR-2-DOR Fylde, a franchise which specialises in assisting local businesses to get their message out to consumers through direct mailing service.

The company assists with everything from bespoke leaflet creation and distribution to a co-operative mailer option called “letter box” which enables businesses to reduce costs by up to a third by sharing space on a leaflet.

Natalie teamed up with Blackpool Council’s Get Started service - part of the Start Up Lancashire service supported by the European Regional Development Fund.

Through attending one-to-one advice sessions and receiving guidance on everything from business planning to finance.

Natalie (pictured right) said: “Our in-house design team supply web design, graphics, printing and also stationary to compliment our leaflet distribution product and this level of detail has enabled us to develop a steady stream of business.

“Blackpool is renowned for starting new small businesses and we felt it was the right time to take advantage of this by offering an affordable service that can assist others to get started quickly and gain valuable new customers.

“The Get Started team continue to offer valuable advice and motivational support, non judgemental and something rare in these times, free!”

Cllr Fred Jackson, Blackpool Council’s cabinet member for urban regeneration, said: “We’re delighted to have been able to help Natalie and it’s great to see a Get Started business that can actually help all the other young upstart companies we have in Blackpool “I wish her every success and urge anyone else looking to start up in business to get in touch with the Get Started team.”
