It's easy to believe that if your business or product is not advertised on the multitude of digital TV stations and in possession of a cutting edge viral video campaign over the popular social networking sites, you're missing out on a vast portion of your market share. Indeed, many marketing executives swear by these methods above all else, believing that only the newest style of campaign will reach anyone, but time and time again, traditional methods such as flyer distribution have shown to work just as well as - if not better than - these techniques.
A well implemented campaign of flyer distribution is a time honoured way of reaching both existing and potential customers. Providing your flyers are well designed and provide clear, concise information about what it is you are promoting and how they can contact you for further information, handing out flyers is a method which all but guarantees your advertisement is seen.
Many people get up to make a cup of tea or switch the channel during the commercial breaks on television and more and more people each day are installing advert-blocking software on their computers, meaning that many of these expensive 'cutting edge' campaigns are simply not being seen by a large number of potential customers, making the outlay for them an expensive exercise for less of a return than hoped. A flyer distribution campaign, be it via mailboxes or
hand to hand delivery in the street has the advantage of eliminating this - if it is in a mailbox or placed in someone's hand, it is almost certain to garner at least a cursory glance from the recipient and providing the design is eye catching and the information is well presented, it is likely to reach many more potential customers.
Having flyers printed is not particularly expensive - it's very cheap compared to television or internet advertising - and if they are well designed and the campaign is targeted correctly, the returns can be greater than these methods. Having promotional material in a physical, transferrable medium such as flyers or leaflets provides options that television or the internet do not. For example, it is possible to discuss with staff in bars or shops about placing flyers in their venues if you feel that their clientele will be interested in your product or service. It is also possible to hand flyers or leaflets to friends to distribute in their workplace if you feel that there may be potential customers there and their employers will allow this.
Providing a level of customisation which many other forms of marketing simply do not offer, a well implemented flyer distribution campaign is far from an outdated marketing technique - it is a superb way of reaching customers which is both affordable and difficult for the recipient to ignore.
