Successful Flyers Start With Two Core Ideas
January 28th, 2012
You have created a pretty, well-designed flyer. You only need to bring it to a flyer printing company so it can be printed. But prior to sending out that file, ask yourself: is your flyer made for your market? Flyers are very effective only when it is thought of and distributed correctly.
To make the most of your flyer’s advertising power, remember these two core ideas.
1. Target your market
Some businesses simply distribute their flyers to just anyone they meet on the street. But chances are most of your flyers will just end up in the garbage can. That is because through mass distribution, you are most likely giving your leaflets to the wrong market.
Therefore, it is vital that you know specifically who your target audience is. For instance, if you are the administrator of a campus and you want to advertise an upcoming auction, your market would most likely be parents of students who have the income to buy the items in your auction. Or the right market may include whole school district. But your flyers wouldn’t do much effect if you hand them to random people who walk by your school on their way to the destination.
2. Be where your market is
Let us say you have just set up an outdoor gear shop, and you want to promote an opening sale to draw extreme sports enthusiasts into your store. As a small-scale business, you chose to print and distribute flyers since they cost less.
Where are you going to distribute them? If you give them out to clients in the shopping center, diners in restaurants, guests staying in resorts, or ordinary pedestrians on the street, you would get very minimal exposure. You are giving your flyers at the wrong place.
It is better if you distribute your flyers where your market is located. Indoor walls, sport climbing routes, surf resorts, places where mountaineers hang out, and the like are excellent venues to achieve maximum exposure.
