In the digital age, it is easy to wonder about the prevalence of flyers and leaflets.  Checking the post each day unearths many delights and just as much unsightly clutter.  Menus, introductions to new businesses and sales events are among the flyers that make it to our homes each day.  Why has the flyer been such a durable and lasting commodity and why should you care in promoting your business and/or brand?

Leaflets and flyers are a valuable and respected part of an integrated marketing campaign.    Therefore, a well thought-out and eye-catching flyer or leaflet is a cost-effective method to promote your brand.

What Are Flyers?

Flyers are not limited to that photocopied sheet of paper handed to you walking down the street in town.  Flyers are a direct form of marketing – in some cases you are face to face with your customer and your flyer will be a reminder of your conversation.  They are versatile and can include menus, takeaway menus, brochures and comment cards. That is just the start.

Flyer Design Considerations

Clear & Concise Messaging – think of the flyers that have grabbed your attention.  Clear and concise messaging is the only way to stand out from the mass.  Therefore, you should plan what is your message.  What point are you trying to get across?  What will entice your consumer to take more than a passing glance?  Message is key so speak direct.  In addition, clear messaging will ensure your customer is not confused.

Personalise Your Flyer – ensure the design is clearly aligned with your company and brand.  Incorporate your brand colours and logos that stay consistent with any existing brand imagery and therefore reinforces the brand.  Images can be a focal point and powerful ones are effective in grabbing attention.  In addition, make it different.  Some days we can be bombarded with many different flyers, but many look to be the same.  Get creative, take a chance and ensure your flyer stands out.

Know Your Audience – Identify your audience or the audience you are trying to attract.  Ensure the flyer content and design will interest that group.  Knowing your audience will ensure you are able to get that audience excited about your brand.

Given the right planning and execution, flyers are an effective and engaging marketing technique.  They are a cost-effective way to promote your brand, event or special offer.  They are capable of driving positive responses from the target audience, therefore it is imperative to get it right to make the most of your investment.  Grab attention, create an exciting mood and support the short story you are telling.  Compel your customers to come for more.
