What a good flyer does
A flyer has one job: get a busy person to understand your offer in a few seconds and know what to do next. The best ones are simple, with a strong headline, a clear reason to act, and an obvious way to reach you. Because they are inexpensive to print in quantity, flyers are one of the easiest ways to put your message in front of local customers.
Where local businesses use flyers
- Door to door. Walk a neighborhood you serve and leave a flyer at each door.
- Counters and community boards. Leave a stack at partner businesses, libraries, gyms and local event boards.
- Events and farmers markets. Hand them out so people take something home.
- In every order or job. Tuck one into each bag, invoice or delivery to bring customers back or earn referrals.
Tips for a flyer that gets read
- Lead with the benefit. Say what the customer gets, not just who you are.
- Use one call to action. A phone number, a short web address or a QR code. Make one with the free QR code generator.
- Keep text large and short. If it cannot be read in a few seconds, cut words.
- Use the back side. You can print both sides in full color for details, a coupon or a map.
Set up your artwork so it prints cleanly
The finished flyer is 5.5 by 8.5 inches. Build your design with 0.125 inch of bleed on every side, so backgrounds extend slightly past the cut line, and keep text and logos at least 0.125 inch inside the trim line. Use images of at least 300 DPI. Always check spelling, phone numbers and web addresses on the proof before you approve it.

Frequently asked questions
How much do flyers cost?
Custom flyers from The Marketing Outlet start at $97. The exact price depends on how many you order and whether you print on one side or both, and you can see it for every combination when you start your order in the app.
What size are the flyers?
Flyers are 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches, which is half of a standard letter-size sheet. That size is easy to hold, hand out and fit into a bag or a door handle.
Can I print on both sides?
Yes. You can choose full color on the front only, or full color on both sides. Printing both sides costs more, and the app shows the price before you check out.
How many flyers can I order?
In the app you can order 250, 500, 750, 1,000 flyers. If you need a different size or a larger quantity, call 1-888-718-6584 and we'll help.
Can I design my own flyer?
Yes. Use the app's online designer or upload your own artwork. If you want to add a QR code, our free QR code generator makes one in seconds.
What file setup does a printer need for flyers?
A finished flyer is 5.5 by 8.5 inches. Build your artwork with 0.125 inch of bleed (background that extends past the cut line) on every side, keep important text at least 0.125 inch inside the trim line, and use images of at least 300 DPI so they print sharply.
What should a flyer include?
One clear headline, the offer or message, a short list of benefits, your business name and logo, and one way to respond: a phone number, a website, or a QR code. Flyers with a single, obvious call to action tend to work better than flyers that try to say everything.
How do I order?
