Harrison and Byrne - Fliers Delivered with General Mail

[dicker]

Hi All

This may have been covered elsewhere - just got my post and was somewhat amazed that H&B are mailshotting everyone where I live.  Every household in my village has got one of these....(i.e they are not addressed to anyone - just distributed to everyone....

I guess this must work for them even though it would be expensive to do...

tiny coin, can you imagine if all the maildrop customers wanted one,, the 9,500 wouldnt last long if they even just covered your county

You sew your oats where you reckon they'll do best.
Is you postcode in a wealthy part of the country ?
Targeting those with cash to burn makes sense if that's how they have applied their filter.
Definitely cheaper that TV advertising and now we know, as we always did, why they need to sell heavily marked up coins as their overheads must be disproportionate considering the volume of unwanted glossy flyers they send out with expensive luxury paper covering letters.

Ah well we don't know.  Maybe nearly everyone near where dicker lives have all bought from H&B and they thought it wise to send the promotional material out to everyone!

What is the size under 1 gram? As it’s obviously under spot if a gram, do they supply a magnifying glass as well 🔎

I see Hatton Garden are now doing TV adverts for a 1/8th sovereign 95th Birthday coin.  £69 for .917g of gold and no doubt a lot of paper for months after.
