While it may be tempting to hop onto the latest marketing trend and use whatever social app is making the headlines right now, sometimes tried-and-tested tools are the most effective—like flyers. The shiny leaflets handed out on the street—that often end up in the next trash can—still have a place in today’s marketing campaigns.

Flyers are tangible, cost effective and incredibly versatile. When done right, they can reach the right audience with the right message at the right time—which, after all, is what marketing is all about.

Here are 99 flyer design ideas that will inspire you, and 23 flyer design tips to create a flyer with genuine impact.

1. Go big with color

Attract people’s attention with vibrant colors and lively designs. Go for a bold red background or use contrast to your advantage with a neon accent on a dark base. You can also use colors to reinforce your message, like greens and yellows for a health brand or primary colors for kids.

2. Embrace the dark side

Sometimes going really dark can attract as much attention as bright colors. Black is particularly effective for luxury brands or to communicate danger, horror or nighttime.

3. Keep it simple

You don’t need to go overboard and stuff the flyer full of every ounce of information you have available. Decide on one key message and then focus on that. Minimalist designs with a lot of space can really help to focus attention on what matters.

4. Play by the rules

Clichés aren’t always a bad thing! Using familiar styles, colors and imagery will provide context and help customers understand what you’re about right away. Use obvious cues: blackboards and apples mean school; orchestras and script fonts equal classical music; postcards and stamps portray travel and so on.

5. Fly into the holiday spirit

Ho, ho, ho! Tapping into seasonality and current events will ensure that your message is relevant and timely. It can be a promotion or a special event or just a design element that ties into the symbols associated with the fall or the December holiday season or whatever else is going on that’s relevant to your brand and products.

6. Do flyer design differently

Include patterns, put a frame around the content or use graphics and type in an unexpected way. A clever bit of design or an element of surprise will help to draw the customer in to see what you have to say.

7. Play with perspective

Linear is boring! Try putting your headings on an angle and play with your typography and imagery to make your flyer stand out from the crowd.

8. Use photography

Beautiful imagery is a great way to draw people in and get people looking at your flyer. The images should be of a high quality and visually impactful.
