Using Flyers

Use print flyers to promote your business to a wider audience

Business flyers are a simple, yet great way to promote your company. Printing flyers through online services makes it easier than ever to order flyers. They are inexpensive, easy to design and even easier to distribute. The key is to focus on your audience and target your promotional skills towards them to get the best outcome from your flyers.

Randomly distributing flyers to every passer-by might be a good idea for a garage sale, but isn't necessarily the best method for targeting a specific clientele. For example, if you pass out flyers about your baby boutique at a heavy metal concert, they will probably be just be tossed without a second glance. When using flyers to promote your business, keep the following things in mind:

1. Identify your audience before designing and printing flyers.

2. Consider using flyer distribution services.

3. Use electronic flyers to reach an even wider audience.

Use flyer design that works with your distribution method

Think of printed flyers as the first opportunity to arouse curiosity about your business; And how you distribute your flyers will determine the best way to accomplish that. Color flyers with bold graphics work well in public spaces, while more subtly colored layouts with highly detailed text and/or photographs work best for mailed flyers.

Target your audience with printed business flyers

It is important to use flyers at the right places. Distribute your flyers at industry-related trader fairs, or negotiate a flyer swap with local businesses that service similar demographics. You can also find flyer distribution services to handle it for you.

Send your business flyers electronically to save money and reach more people

Electronic flyers are as effective as traditional flyers, yet more economical and environmentally friendly. With eflyers, you don't have to bother with flier printing and you can send an infinite number of flyers with the click of a button.

• Make print flyers double as coupons. This way, you will know how effective the flyers were in actually bringing in customers.
