DSN, Doorstep Network

Your route ends at six, but the money doesn't have to

DSN is a second income off the route you're already running. No detours, no extra stops, no effect on your finish time.

Keep your wage. Keep your route. Add the franchise.

A franchise that fits in the footwell of your van

Say tomorrow's route is 183 stops. Have you ever thought about what else those 183 doors are worth?

Local businesses spend a lot of money trying to reach the homes you deliver to. Billboards, online ads and radio. But none of these arrive at the doorstep.

Your parcels do. They get through hundreds of front doors a day. This is the one thing local businesses can't buy, and you do it without thinking.

That's where DSN comes in.

We send you booklets full of local offers, with your own code printed on them. One goes through the letterbox as you deliver a parcel, and when a household orders off your code, the commissions are yours.

Nobody's ever paid you a second time for the same route. DSN does.

DSN is a doorstep advertising network, and it runs on couriers

Businesses near your route want their offers inside the homes you deliver to, and there's no way to get there, except with you.

So, we put their offers into a monthly booklet, print your code on it, and send you a box. The booklet goes through the letterbox as you deliver.

The franchise is your place in our network. You buy it once and it's yours, your code, your route, your income.

You don't leave your job for it. There's no notice to hand in, no unit to rent and no staff to pay. The whole thing fits in the footwell of your van, ready for your next route.

And it isn't tied to the company you drive for. Even if you move route, switch depots or leave DPD for Amazon - your franchise follows you.

YOUR ROUTEYOUR FRANCHISE

There are three incomes in a DSN franchise

The first two come from your route. The third comes from your depot.

01

THE ROUTE

When households buy

Every booklet you post carries your code.

A household picks it up, scans it once, and sees every offer running that month. When they buy, you're paid commissions on those sales.

Now here's the part people miss. That booklet doesn't stop working when your shift is over. It might sit on a worktop or end up in a kitchen drawer. But, when someone digs it out three weeks later, scans it and orders - the commissions still come to you.

You'll be getting paid on deliveries you finished two months ago and forgot about. This is the first income you've ever had that keeps going after you've parked up.

02

COMMERCIAL SALES

When businesses sign up

Not every stop on your route is a house, and the ones that aren't are worth money too.

Every shop, garage, salon and takeaway you deliver to is a business trying to reach local customers, which is exactly what DSN sells.

So when you drop a parcel at one, all you need to do is leave one of our leaflets with it.

Your code is on that one as well.

When they sign up as an advertiser, you're paid a commission - and their offers go out the following month, in the booklets you're already posting.

03

THE DEPOT

Franchise sales commission

Introduce a driver to DSN and receive 40% of their qualifying recurring franchise fee for as long as their franchise is trading.

That is £98.80 a month for an active Basic introduction or £148 a month for an active Plus introduction.

And none of it needs you behind the wheel.

Your route and depot commissions are paid out to you whether it's your best week or your worst, or a week you didn't work at all.

How it works

  1. An open materials box and stacked booklets beside a delivery van
    01

    Your materials arrive

    One batch a month sorted and ready to go. Flat and light enough to be placed in the footwell or your van.

  2. A courier posting a booklet through a letterbox with a parcel beside the door
    02

    You post them on your route

    One booklet through the letterbox at the addresses you're already stopping at. No detours, no extra stops, no clipboard, no knocking twice.

  3. A phone scanning the QR code printed on a folded booklet
    03

    Households scan your code

    Every booklet carries your QR code. One scan shows them deals from both local and national brands.

  4. A hand giving a thumbs-up beside a confirmation check mark

    They buy, you get paid

    When a household orders using your code, you receive the commissions. Whether it's one sale or multiple.

THIS WORKS IF YOU

  • Deliver to houses, flats, estates. Real front doors, real letterboxes.
  • Are out most days of the week, on anywhere from 50 to 200 stops daily.
  • Drive for DPD, Amazon, Evri, DHL, Yodel, Royal Mail or one of the smaller firms. Doesn't matter which.
  • Can spare one second per stop to post a single booklet with the parcel.
  • Want a second income that doesn't cost you a second job.

THIS ISN'T FOR YOU IF

  • You want to leave your job. The route is the engine. No deliveries means no letterboxes, which means no income. The franchise runs on the job, it doesn't replace it.
  • You want it done for you. We supply the offers, print the booklets and provide your code. Posting them is your part of the deal.
  • You can't be bothered with the box. It turns up once a month and it has to travel with you. It's flat, light and lives in the footwell of your van.

FAQ

Will it slow me down?

No, you're posting one item at a stop you're already making, or handing a leaflet to a colleague at the depot. It takes seconds.

What if I get moved to a different route, or change delivery companies?

Your franchise, code and materials move with you. It isn't tied to a specific route or employer.

How do I know a sale or introduction came from me?

Your code is unique to your account. Anything ordered, signed up, or introduced against it is recorded under your name automatically.

Do commissions from past materials still count?

Yes. A booklet keeps working after it's posted. Someone can scan it weeks later, and the resulting commission still reaches you.

Will I know when someone has ordered?

Yes, in real time. Every scan, order and payment is visible in your DSN account as it happens.

Do I have to sell anything myself?

No. The materials are built to explain themselves. You post or hand them over; DSN handles everything from the scan onward.

What if I'm off sick or on holiday?

Materials already in circulation keep earning independently, and any commission owed is paid out to you as normal.

How and when am I paid?

Commissions build in your DSN account as qualifying activity comes in and are paid out monthly.

Am I employed by DSN?

No. You're self employed and operate your own franchise; DSN operates the network behind it.

Tomorrow's route is happening either way

The only question is whether it pays you once or twice.
