Where To Hang Flyers

Taxi cabs, buses and other public means of transportation will do.

Just make sure it does not get damaged easily.

Dog exercise parks. Seriously, give it a go. Put them at the entrance to the park.

Visit large office buildings that have cafeterias and leave some on the tables. People eating lunch always want something to read.

Well mine was just an opinion and at the end it's your decision on how you wanted to do it, good luck anyway.

Hi there,

Supermarkets usually have bulletin boards you can stick a flyer on. Also, you could get a small display case and stack the fliers in there, then go around to local merchants and ask if they wouldn't mind having your display case on their counter. You'd be surprised how many would say "yes". Check this link:

All the best,

I have an idea for this flyer method, mixing it in with my other marketing, but I have a totally dumb question or two:

1. How do you make/design/print the flyers?
2. Do you put the flyers in one of those clear plastic display cases?
3. Do you pass out the flyers yourself, or pay someone to do it?

I agree with what Sasha said.

Except that I don't typically do flyers, I prefer brochures instead. I think they just work better for my niche (mold).

And I intentionally get my brochures in places where people will be forced to read them. Like waiting rooms. Specifically doctors offices.

Like sasha said, you'd be suprised how many people actually say yes if you just ask them. Here is something a lot of people don't actually think about. If your material is cool/interesting to look at/read, many places will WANT you to leave your stuff. Because many waiting rooms have like 1 or 2 old magazines max. They forget to renew subscriptions, or don't want to spend the money, so you do them a favor by providing their customers reading material.

On the front of my brochures, since its a doctors office, I put in yellow:

"Do Your Children Have Asthma or Allergies?

then underneath in a smaller red font, I put a stat about how the National Institute of Health (NIH) estimates that 30% of all asthma and allergy cases are triggered by household mold.

Then I put a few other bullet points on the front, and on the inside I really grab their attention. At the end I put an offer for a free inspection.

Its an excellent way to target considering that so many of the people who call us, have children with allergies or asthma. We've seen some homes that were attrocious, absolutely covered in mold, and the parents had no idea that the mold could be causing their childrens problems. In some homes, we've seen playrooms put in the basement, the basements have water problems, and the insides of the walls are covered in mold. It astonishes me how little some people actually know about mold. So not only does it get us business, it genuinely helps spread awareness.

The only problem is, I'm too damn lazy to get off my ass most of the time and go deliver them. But one of these days I will just pay someone to deliver them for me. =]

Yes I do!

Its REALLY simple. Simple if you have photoshop I should say.

What I did specifically, was go online and type in phrases like:

brochure psd templates
trifold brochure psd templates
3 fold psd brochure
photoshop brochure templates
brochure templates adobe

I found 4 templates I liked, and downloaded them free.

The ones I got, were called -

"business brochure green"
"free psd 3 fold brochure"
"real estate brochure"
"rebellion trifold brochure"

Then I wound up picking my 2 favorites, and just edited them. Which is extremely simple in photoshop. You just highlight/delete the text and replace with your own. Take the pictures out and replace with your own. You can even change colors, move things around, add borders etc etc.

Then you just print out a few hundred, fold them, and drop them off (you can fold more than 1 at a time just so you know =]).

Its really that simple. I'm sure there are other ways to do them too, but I love photoshop so its what I use.

ps. If you have photoshop, I can upload 1 of the psd templates I made. But you can't view or edit it w/out photoshop.

Sweet. I'm on this like white on rice. I have some cool ideas on using this in addition to what I am already doing. Funny how once you get off your butt and take action, good things start ti happen!

It depends what are you promoting with those flyers, hence the target audience. So it could be in the mailbox, public means of transportation, on the cars in the parking lot etc.

Supermarkets, laundry mats, boys and girls club, hair salon, restaurants, church, I even saw flyers and business cards in a postal service. Just think outside the box

Supermarkets would be my 1st point of call, after that anywhere public where you get plenty of traffic, malls, librarys [do people still use them?] college/university common rooms etc
Good luck but get them up!

Places where people HAVE to wait around and can't help but look at your flyers. That's why I said laundry mat. I happen to go the laundry mat the other day (my washer is broke at the moment..lol) and right next to it was a hair salon and a clothing store. That is a smart marketing move. Why? Because washing clothes takes 30min, that you can't help but go the clothing store and "window shop" and possibly buy something. Its just logic.
My point is hanging flyers is still a great way to spread your business

I will said whenever area that you target market will hang around and go the most and where is the place that they will stop by and looking around.

Maybe is the time they stuck in traffic jam ? when queue for buying ticket or waiting public transport, while they in toilet ?

Know your niche behavior then you will know where to stick your flyers

Gas pumps have been working great for me lately. Also the new Redbox's for movie rentals that are around my area. All great for Pull Tab style fliers.

Good question. I hang flyers on posts and walls that have a perfect spot. When I say perfect spot, people can see them in just a single glance. Try to locate a spot in your place where most of the people will usually look. Examples are street walls, trees, buses, and etc. just to name a few. Cheers!

Cafes, laundromats, bookstores, dry cleaners and college campuses are typical places.

This is one way to do it:

1) walk in shop
2) ask if they have a poster board
3) if they don't then point to a spot and ask if you can put a flyer there
Under the counter or on the wall as you walk in are good spots.

This is another:
Walk down a street that has cafes and mid to low priced restaurants. Look for posters in the window but also checkout any cafes. If you see posters in the window check for outdated posters. Ask if you can take down an outdated one and put yours up.

The first time you go to an area -
Go in every shop on a local street. You would be surprised by the places that may have poster boards. Some places that don't have one will tell the locations of the local poster spots.

Make a list and visit it twice a month. You now have your own route.

Try to leave the poster board neater than when you got there. Take down any outdated flyers or flyers that too faded to read.

Good luck.

I treat flyers the same as I would forum marketing. You would want to strategically place your flyers in well thought out locations that will more than likely contain the sort of people that corresponds to your niche. If your selling electronics place your flyers in a location where electronic lovers will be. It's just target marketing offline.
