For many small businesses, distributing flyers is the go-to method for attracting new business in the local community. Flyers are versatile and can reach a broad audience. However, many organizations fail to see a large gain from circulating flyers. Follow the basic rules outlined in this article for a maximum return on your investment. The most effective design and method of distribution can vary from business to business, so don’t hesitate to get creative!

Design & Content

First things first. You need an eye-catching and informative flyer. A professional-looking flyer is key to grabbing the audience’s attention and gaining their trust. The design should be attractive, concise, and easy to read at a distance. Hire a graphic designer or do it yourself with a graphic design template. Make sure you include:

• Name of your business
• Logo
• Your address, if you are a brick and mortar shop
• Contact information
• Web address
• The product or service you are offering
• Why the customer should choose your business

You might consider including a coupon or offer, or encouragement to find you on social media networks. Place only the most important information on your flyer to avoid cluttering your design.

Distribution

Once you have a quality design, it’s time to get the word out! Flyers can be tacked around town, printed, posted online, or handed out to passers-by on the street. Think about where your target audience is most likely to see your message and focus your efforts on these locations. The possibilities are endless, but consider these options:

• Post on bulletin boards and in store windows. Ask for permission from the manager and check your city’s laws.
• Include in product shipments, invoices and other mailed items. Or mail the flyer to your customer list.
• Cross advertise. Work with a complimentary business to promote each other’s products or services.
• Hand them out or display them at business fairs, expos, or community events.
• Purchase ad space in a relevant magazine.
• Place a newspaper insert.
• Upload it to your Facebook page or Twitter account.

Measure & Adjust

The work isn’t done! You will likely see additional business come through your doors, but the average response for flyers can be discouraging, often as low as 1%. Fine tune your message and compare the response. Try different content on different flyers and see how your audience responds. Tweak your messaging as needed for optimal return. Also, be sure to include a call to action. Let your audience know what you have to offer and how you want them to respond. Spell it out and you will get a better return.

Remember the most effective marketing is a complete branding package. Using promotional flyers is just one method of communicating with potential customers.

Rack cards can be one of the most effective and affordable ways to promote products and services to prospective customers. They’re effective in that they can be used as mini flyers, brochures, and menus and can be conveniently located in areas such as restaurants, gas stations, and hotels.

The most common rack card size will have 4 x 9 dimensions, although some printing companies offer alternative sizes such as 3.5 x 8.5. Both sizes fit standard rack card and brochure holders.

A well-designed rack card will use a colorful palette and have enticing photos that stand out and get noticed. Here are some rack card examples for design ideas and inspiration.

One of the simplest and most effective ways to market your business is through the use of brochures. Brochures have been around for a long time and for good reason. Unlike other print items, brochures offer more room to inform your customers about your product or service. They can be easily displayed on store counters, in reception areas or waiting rooms, or distributed with other materials in presentation folders at tradeshows and meetings.

There are many ways to produce a brochure. You could hire a design agency, contract a freelance graphic designer, use a design online tool, or choose to do it yourself using desktop publishing software with the help of templates and stock photos. Make your own business brochures quickly and affordably with ready-made brochure designs from StockLayouts. Here are 20 brochure design ideas selected from the StockLayouts template library to inspire you:

8.5 x 11 Tri-Fold Brochures

Trifold brochures are a great way for small businesses to market or advertise their product or service. Trifold brochures are usually letter size which is 8.5 x 11″. They can be placed in counter-top holders, or stacked neatly on a desk or table where the brochure cover can be easily seen. Because trifold brochures are smaller compared to some other marketing materials, it helps to use color and good design that will catch your audience’s attention.

11 x 17 Tabloid Brochures – Cover Designs

Half-fold brochures are another popular brochure format that people use to promote their business. Half-fold brochures are often created in a tabloid page size which is 11 x 17″. Tabloid brochures are great for larger businesses or companies that operate in the professional services sector. Because of their dimensions, once folded in half, they can slide neatly into a folder with the brochure cover in front along with other marketing collateral for easy distribution to clients.

Next to an eye-catching, well-chosen image, a memorable headline is the most important part of a successful print advertisement. A headline is the first line of copy your customers read.
