Flyers are an effective way of advertising for events and business specials. Careful selection of location and careful choice of personnel can insure an effective and inexpensive flyer distribution.
The best way to distribute your flyers is to put them up at local colleges, small businesses, and local organizations. A powerful local presence is of the utmost importance for retailers or small businesses. In case your local enterprise is supported and appreciated by the local community, you'll have a reliable cash flow coming in and a powerful basis for future growth.
When you go to distribute your flyers at colleges, you can save a lot of money by hiring students to do the distribution. Many college students are on the lookout for part time work to help bring in some money. To recruit college students you need to go to the school office and ask where you are supposed to post help wanted notices. The office will either post it for you or tell you who is in charge of the posting. This way, you'll quickly get college students, keen to work for a small wage, handing out your printed flyers. The well placed notices will effectively disseminate information to the University community sooner than many other methods. You could possibly even go one step further and respectfully request the distributors to wear costumes that relate to the theme of your event. Hiring college students will permit you to get your flyers posted cheaply and you can then sit back and focus on other areas of your corporation while they do the leg work.
Another very inexpspensive yet effective way to distribute flyers is to put them inside of newspapers being handed out door to door. Call the office of your local newspaper and find out how you can put your flyer inside their newspapers. Some may supply this service without cost and some might charge slightly for it but it won't be too expensive. You will get your flyers distributed to everyone who gets a newspaper delivered in the desired location with no hassle or fuss. As an added bonus, including your flyer inside the newspaper is trust building because people trust the newspaper as a source of honest news.
Another effective way to distribute your flyers in a downtown setting is to hand them out at cafes. Many people go out to café's while shopping or on their lunch break. The flyers will even be read by the staff that works at the café. Cafes are an important distribution spot for another reason. Cafes are an important networking spot in the community. Reach a café in your community and it is as if you have reached a significant portion of the population. Ask the café staff if you can leave some on the tables. You might even work out a deal whereby flyers handed out at a particular café will contain coupons for that café on the bottom flyer. Cafes are liable to agree to that arrangement as it gives them nice free advertising. You may get a better response if you offer to place coupons for their restaurant on the bottom of your flyers designated for distribution at their café or restaurant. Due to the massive circulation of people through a café, all day, you may reach a large number of viewers while doing little to no legwork. Simply take a bunch of flyers to as many cafes as possible and let the shop bring the people to you.
