Ask These 5 Important Questions First Before Launching Your Flyer Advertising

The investment in time and money on your flyers is no joke. It might just be color flyers for you, but for your project or your company, it is of course an important way to gain reputation and succeed in marketing. So you should not take your  flyers for granted.

Before you actually launch your flyer printing and advertising campaign, you might want to be sure that your designs and content is fit for proper marketing. Let me give you five of the best and most important questions that you should ask about your flyers before you actually deploy them. This will help you make the investment of flyer printing worthwhile for you.

1. Is your message unique from other flyers? – Your first initial question should relate to the  message of your flyer. You have to ask if indeed your flyer’s message is unique. Most people have read tons of commercial flyers during their lifetime (even the kids). You should always deliver something unique to their eyes for them to actually read and respond to your own flyers.

So if you are just telling them to “buy” you might as well give up now. You need to come up with something more than just an encouragement for them to buy or follow your instructions. It must be something that engages them very powerfully on a personal level.

2. Is your design original enough to be noticed?– Beyond the message, you should also ask yourself about the design. Just like the message, there must be something unique or original about it. A common flyer design will not get much attention really and will at most be thrown to the trash bin.

That is why it is important to really compare your designs with others and see if your design is distinct enough to pop out. If it is not, then you should work on your flyers some more. This is important and you should not just ignore those other flyers even if your design looks great.

3. Are your flyers sized correctly for deployment?– Remember of course that your flyers will be deployed using different methods typically. So it is important to ask if your flyer’s size is in fact appropriate for those methods.

Print  that are too large and it might be hard to actually get those distribution methods to work. Print something too small and your flyers might not be effective enough as you give them away. So make sure you test out the template you have by doing some sample printing. Make sure that you get the correct size that will apply to all those methods.

4. Are your materials in flyer printing good enough? – Next question to ask is about your printing options. Are the materials you chosen for flyer printing good enough for your purposes? Some campaigns can make do with cheap color flyers with thin paper and rough finishes. Others will need thick and glossy paper with very impressive coatings.

It will depend on your real goals in flyer marketing, but you should make sure that you have chosen the most appropriate materials instead of splurging on something that you might not need for your flyers.

5. Have you printed the correct method of response?– Finally, it is important for you to check if you printed the correct method of response within the flyer itself. Your flyers won’t be fit for real flyer marketing and mass production if they cannot actually achieve the goal of communicating to readers and eliciting that response. So check and see if the correct method of response is indeed printed in your flyers in the best possible way.

With these questions, you should be able to really prepare your color flyers properly for an advertising campaign. Make sure that you ask them each time you produce a new batch of custom flyers.
