Questions people actually ask

Download DropSpot, post the job with your area and flyer count, and wait for nearby spotters to apply. You choose who does the work. That is the flyer distributor for that job — someone whose work area already covers your streets. More on hiring a flyer distributor.

No. DropSpot is the app that connects the business that needs the drop with people who do flyer distribution locally. You still pick the person. We hold the payment until you have seen the proof.

The app is free to download for both businesses and spotters. A business pays for the distribution job it posts, and sees that amount before committing — based on flyer count, area and timing. Spotters never pay to find or apply for work.

The payment for a job is secured upfront and held until the work is done. The spotter submits proof, the business reviews it, and the money is released on approval. That way the business is not paying for nothing, and the spotter is not working for nothing.

Spotters check in from the job location and submit photo proof through the app. You review that proof before you approve payment, so there is something real to look at rather than only someone’s word.

Don’t approve it. You can send it back and ask for it to be put right, and our support team can step in to help settle a dispute if the two of you cannot agree.

Yes, while the work has not started yet. Once a spotter has been assigned and is out collecting or delivering, cancelling is limited so that nobody loses out on work they have already begun. Contact support if you are stuck.

Yes. Create a spotter profile, set the area you can cover, and submit identity documents for verification. Once you are verified you can apply for paid flyer distribution jobs near you. The app is free for spotters. More for Spotters.

DropSpot is built for flyer and printed-material distribution — pamphlets, menus, promotional inserts, opening notices, estate-agent leaflets and similar drops into real neighbourhoods.
