What is a Flyer?

A flyer is a type of paper advertisement meant for wide distribution. It is distributed or posted typically in a public area or via mail. Flyer is also known as handbill, leaflet or circular in the market.

Purpose of a flyer
Flyers are mainly used by organizations, businesses or individuals for various reasons. The reasons are as follows:
·         Promoting a service or good like nightclub or restaurant
·         Persuading or sending a religious, social or political message
·         Recruiting members
·         Advertising an event like nightclub appearance, music concert, political rally or festival

Flyer formats
Like pamphlets, small posters and postcards, flyers are even a cheap form of mass communication or marketing. They can be available in different formats. A few examples include:
·         A6 (size of a postcard)
·         DL (size of compliments slip)
·         A5 (roughly the size of a half letterhead)
·         A4 (roughly the size of a letterhead)

Flyers production

Flyers are not something new. They have been used before also prior to the American Independence war. At that time, some colonists needed to win the support in congresses and so issued pamphlets, leaflets and handbills.

These materials are even produced nowadays at a low-cost. Recently, their production through traditional printing services is being supplanted by flyer printing services online. A lot of customers are in fact sending designs and receiving their final products through mail.

Distribution

Today, some of the jurisdictions have ordinances or laws restricting or banning flyering or leafleting. Some owners of the private property also put up signs like ‘Post no bills’ in front of their house on the fences or walls. So, flyers are typically given away at the events, handed out in streets and posted on the bulletin boards of college campuses, cafes, small markets and community meeting houses. 
If you are looking for a company that offers flyer printing in Brisbane, you can find many. Just make sure that the company is reputed and provides quality service.
