A Website Built
For Post Masters.

There are 6,000 DPD Post Office branches in the UK · every one a potential advocate for DPD over Royal Mail. Yet there's no dedicated digital destination to convert, educate or retain them. That's the gap this fixes.

01
The Problem
Post Masters choose who to sell based on margin, ease and customer satisfaction. Right now, there's nowhere online that makes the DPD case clearly and convincingly.
02
The Solution
A sharp, always-on microsite · whyselldpd.co.uk · that shows pricing comparisons, Trustpilot proof, in-flight features and a dead-simple sign-up flow. One URL. One conversion goal.

Every tool built for this site · including the remuneration calculator and ChatDPD · can be embedded directly into the existing DPD Post Office website. Zero extra build cost. Maximum reach.
03
The Proof Points
DPD Trustpilot 4.5 vs Royal Mail 1.8. 99.8% delivery performance. 9× MoneySavingExpert winner. World-class in-flight options at no extra cost. The data does the selling.
04
The Opportunity
Every converted Post Master represents recurring parcel volume. A low-cost digital asset with high-leverage commercial return · and a URL you can put on every piece of Post Office collateral.
The maths is simple
6,000 branches × 1 extra sale/day × £14 ATV × 365 days =
£0
in incremental revenue · from one extra sale per branch per day

ChatDPD.
Your AI Post
Office Expert.

A branch sends a WhatsApp message. Instead of waiting for a BDM callback, the AI responds within seconds · with the right answer, from approved DPD knowledge. Think of it as a digital Jon Verrall, available 24/7 to every branch in the network.

01
The Problem
90 branches. One WhatsApp group. Constant basic questions. Staff default to Royal Mail because they're not confident with DPD in the moment. That hesitation costs sales · every single day.
02
The Solution
An AI assistant on WhatsApp · the platform every branch already uses. It handles objections, suggests the right product, gives packaging guidance, provides pitch lines and lets branches request a visit. No apps. No portals. No training needed.
03
The Master Plan
ChatDPD becomes a direct comms channel to every Postmaster. DPD can push product updates, incentives, seasonal guidance and sales pushes instantly · something Post Office themselves cannot do. And for the first time, DPD gets real engagement data: who opened, who clicked, who responded.
04
The Opportunity
If each of the 6,000 DPD branches sells just one extra DPD product per week because of clearer guidance · that's 312,000 extra sales a year. £3.2m+. No other carrier does this. Not Royal Mail. Not Evri. This is DPD's to own.
The hidden cost no one talks about
6,000 branches × unnecessary BDM visits × £50 per visit =
A significant chunk of budget
spent answering questions a WhatsApp bot could answer in seconds.
ChatDPD doesn't replace your BDMs.
It frees them to do the work that actually grows revenue.

Paid Traffic.
Dedicated Page.
One Job: Convert.

Every ad DPD runs right now sends people to a homepage built for everyone · which means it converts no one. The fix is simple: a dedicated conversion page for every vertical · medical, government, retail, ecommerce, beauty, subscription · each one built for a single person, a single message, and a single action.

01
The Problem
One generic fulfilment page trying to speak to everyone speaks to no one. An SME scaling on Shopify has completely different pain points to a NHS medical supplier or a government contract distributor. Generic copy kills conversion.
02
The Solution · Dedicated Conversion Pages
A dedicated, conversion-optimised landing page for every vertical market DPD serves. Each page speaks the language of that sector · their specific pain points, their compliance needs, their delivery expectations. Paid traffic lands on a page that feels built for them.
03
The Channel Plan
PPC campaigns targeting vertical-specific search terms · "medical courier fulfilment UK", "government logistics partner", "retail fulfilment for ecommerce brands". Meta targeting layered by job title, company size and industry. Every ad goes to the right page. No wasted spend.
04
The Smart Extras
Click-to-WhatsApp for mobile. AI chat triage to qualify leads instantly. Calendar booking so hot prospects never go cold. Retargeting sequences serving progressively stronger proof over 30 days · case studies, stats, testimonials · until they convert.

Beautiful Proposals.
Like This One.
That Convert.

Evri sends a PDF. Royal Mail emails a Word doc. DPD arrives with an experience. A stunning, interactive proposal site · personalised for every prospect, built to impress, and impossible for any competitor to match.

01
The Proposal Site
A bespoke, beautifully designed proposal · exactly like the site you're reading right now. Personalised headline. Their name. Their specific services. Their commercial opportunity. Accessible instantly via a single link, on any device. No attachments. No downloads. Just a URL that makes an impression the moment it loads.
02
The Analytics
Every proposal has analytics built in. See exactly how many times it was opened, which sections held their attention, whether it was forwarded to a new decision maker · and a live lead score that tells you how hot the deal is. You'll know more about where the deal stands than the prospect realises you do.
03
The Competitive Edge
Evri can't do this. Royal Mail can't do this. No other carrier in the UK is showing up to commercial conversations with something this polished. The proposal itself becomes proof that DPD is the premium partner · before a single word of the pitch has been read.
04
The Signal
When they spend 4 minutes on the pricing section · they're comparing costs. When they forward it to a new email at 11pm · there's a decision maker you haven't met. When they open it three times in one day · call them. The data tells you what the prospect won't.

YEEP! Is Invisible.
Let's Fix That.

Right now, when someone searches "nearest parcel locker" or asks ChatGPT where to drop off a Vinted parcel · InPost wins. Every time. Not because their lockers are better. Because they're on the map and YEEP! isn't. That changes now.

01
Google Business Profiles
Every YEEP! locker gets its own verified Google Business Profile · name, address, opening hours, photos, Q&A. When someone searches "parcel locker near me" on Google Maps, YEEP! shows up. Right now it doesn't. This alone is a significant competitive move.
02
Reviews at Scale
InPost has thousands of Google reviews. YEEP! has almost none. A structured review generation programme · triggered post-use via DPD tracking comms · builds social proof fast. Reviews aren't just trust signals. They're ranking signals. More reviews means higher placement in local search.
03
GEO · Own The AI Answer
Search is changing. When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Google AI "where can I send a Vinted parcel near me?" · the answer comes from structured data, not a search results page. Every YEEP! locker needs schema markup, a natural language location page and real-time availability in the API. First mover advantage here is enormous. AI answers are sticky.
04
The Questions DPD Must Own
"Nearest DPD locker" · "Cheapest way to send a Vinted parcel" · "How to return without waiting in" · "Best parcel drop off near me" · "Send a parcel to Germany cheaply" · right now InPost owns most of these answers. With Google Business + GEO, YEEP! can own them instead.
