Why Flyers Still Work for Business Events

  • Cheaper at higher quantities, flyers are a quick, cost-effective way to reach your target audience. 

  • Ideal for mass distribution at expos, retail locations or direct mail, they are most effective as a physical reference point of your business or promotion. Especially in high traffic events, they’ll be a tangible memory that connects the attendees to your brand. 

  • High visibility with effective designs – Well-designed flyers will attract attention and allow direct interaction with your audience.

  • Complements digital campaigns to drive traffic to websites or social media pages through QR codes or clear CTAs.

 

Key Elements of a High-Converting Flyer Design

1. Attention-grabbing Headline

The headline is the first thing people notice on a flyer so make sure the headline is clear and bold. When writing the headline, think about how to draw people in. An appealing headline should grab attention, create curiosity, and entice the reader to learn more. You can use a simple statement to pique curiosity: ‘How to achieve 100k Sales in 1 Month’ or use power words like ‘exclusive’ or ‘ultimate’ to add punch to your headline.

 

2. Visual Hierarchy

The visual hierarchy of a flyer design is the visual structure of information based on their importance. People usually start reading from the top, so important information should flow from top to bottom. A strong visual hierarchy should have clear segmentation and user guidance to the most relevant information. The larger the elements, the more people’s attention will be drawn to it, so crucial information should always be closer to the top.

 

3. Balance of Flyer Elements

When designing flyers, you may be tempted to include all the information you can fit onto the page. However this will make the design cluttered and confusing for the readers. Instead, use white space strategically to create breathing room around text and visuals. Also maintain visual balance – if there’s a large visual, balance it out with smaller text so it doesn’t overwhelm the reader. When it comes to effective flyer design, less is more.

 

4. Strong Call to action (CTA)

To make flyers effective, it's important to include a strong call to action (CTA) that’s clear, concise and appealing to your readers. The CTA should be attractive enough to encourage an action, whether it’s to purchase a product, register an account or get a discount. Focus on the benefits you offer and create a sense of urgency to compel an immediate response.

 

5. Branding Consistency

Don’t overlook your branding when designing flyers. Use your brand colours, fonts and logos to keep your branding consistent across all your marketing materials. Consistent branding not only creates a professional look, it also improves brand awareness, making it easier for customers to associate and recognise your flyer from your business at a glance.

 

6. Contact Details & QR Code

Lastly, always include your contact details in the flyer design (can be phone number, email or physical address) so readers can readily contact you for further information. Flyers are often the first point of contact especially at events, and can be the opening to new business opportunities. For added convenience and easier tracking, add a QR code that leads to your website, order form or social media. It’s a simple way to complement concurrent digital marketing strategies.

Flyer Printing Tips for Events

  • Order in bulk - lower cost per piece, they can be utilized for wider distribution in preparation before and during events.

  • Use suitable paper - for cheap flyer printing or high volume distribution, thinner paper like 80gsm / 100gsm simile paper are good choices. For product launches or outdoor events, select thicker material or add lamination for increased durability.

  • Consider double-sided printing or brochure printing - if you require more space for details or schedules, maps, QR codes, using both sides of the paper or even a folding brochure can be good alternatives.

  • Match flyers with overall booth aesthetic - ensure your flyer design aligns with the overall look and feel of your event booth and keep branding consistent across all event materials so attendees can instantly associate your flyer to your brand.
