Design Your Autumn Flyer

When it’s time to lay out your flyer, you’ll want to use a type style that’s easy to read. Be sure to balance bold and regular type using the bold type to grab attention for the most important part of the message while small and regular type styles can be used for the details of your message. A flyer without graphics or arts is blah, so you will want to include some art work in your flyer. Perhaps the simplest way is to use a pre-printed background appropriate to your message.

Flyers are, perhaps, one of the most under-utilized tools to get information out to a large number of people in a short amount of time and at a fairly low cost. You will most often see flyers advertising new businesses, promoting upcoming concerts, touting certain religious beliefs, or spreading political messages.

Why You Need Back to School Flyers

The uses for flyers are practically endless. And with back to school time quickly approaching, let’s think about some ways you can use back to school flyers to get your message out. A lot goes on at the beginning of the school year: sports teams, cheerleaders and dance teams often hold tryouts at the beginning of the year. Clubs, such as the Student Council and Young Republicans, are often formed at the beginning of the year, and sometimes class elections for “Class President” are held early in the year. Here are some tips on how to design flyers for any occasion, especially those related to back to school events.

Back to School Flyer Content

One of the first and most important things that needs to be done is to plan your content. Gather all necessary information that must be included in the flyer and organize it so it’s easy to read and fun for the recipients. Too much content will be unappealing and your flyer will likely end up in the trash. Use short, succinct sentences and lots of vibrant language representative of whatever you are promoting. People are busy and attention spans are short. In order for your flyer to get noticed, it must stand out. If you don’t consider yourself a creative person, then enlist the help of others who are. Be sure the content is error free, and if contact information is necessary, make sure that it’s included: name, phone number, email address, physical address and even the website URL are all important information if some type of response is necessary.

Eye-Grabbing Graphics

Choosing attention-getting images related to your back to school event is the next step in designing your back to school flyer. Football team tryouts flyers could include helmets, footballs, goal posts and a scoreboard. Glee Club back to school flyers could include music notes and images from the popular TV show, “Glee” that has taken the nation by storm over the last three years. One important tip is to make sure your content does not get lost in the images. You do want to have enough appealing images to entice your recipients into becoming involved in whatever you’re announcing or advertising.

Do-it-yourself Back to School Flyers

If you want to design and print your own back to school flyers, there are some things to consider. First, your file layout may need to account for bleed and trim if you’re working with a commercial printing service. You can save yourself a lot of time and effort by ordering your flyers from PaperDirect, an online store with an extensive line of flyers for your back to school announcement.

Flyers can make up the backbone of a very effective marketing campaign if done right. Using a unique flyer design to enhance and power advertising at conventions, trade shows and even parking lot blitzes can push your business into an entirely new level. To make it work though, several things have to work together. Here are a few things you’ll want to consider when putting together a flyer based marketing campaign

–    Flyers give you the opportunity to put a lot of information onto a single sheet of paper. However, keeping that message clear and consistent with all the other parts of your marketing is essential. Make sure other parts of your campaign reinforce and reiterates what is being placed on your flyer. –    Using a graphic or photo to illustrate the message on your flyer is a great way to make it eye-catching and to reinforce your message.
–    While using a slick flyer is a little more expensive, using them as a part of your unique flyer design makes the text and colors pop better.
–    Plan out your design carefully. You’ve got some options on execution, using the entire pages as a single block, breaking up the page into sections or even a combination of both by using both sides.
–    Using both sides of a flyer is a little unconventional. You’ll want to make sure the quality of paper used doesn’t show through one side to the other which can make your flyer hard to read.
–    Take advantage of “dress up” tools in your word processor. These enable you to make tables for your sections and put borders around them so you’re boxing off sections of text to contain a specific point or thought such as contact information or a product push.
–    When using color flyers, using reverse color/text combinations in a block pulls the eye to that area
–    This same contrast in a black and white flyer (doing white text in a black box) accomplishes the same task

There are a lot of great flyer design ideas out there. Try to remember the last few flyers you’ve received and see what parts of those unique flyer designs made you remember them. This will enable you to bring forward those ideas and concepts to incorporate in your own flyers. Flyers can be extremely effective sales tools so take a look and see how you can take advantage of flyers in your next marketing campaign.
